Personally, I am very happy that the new DFI engine is used. Not only it has ecological advantages (emissions and consumption) but it also shows that Porsche is a forward looking modern manufacturer.

How can you demonstrate that you are at the forefront of technology if you (have to) use an engine that was designed in the 80s? Even if that GT1 block is strong it's no alibi for not being able to build an equally robust new modern engine.

Think how many engines other top manufacturers like M-B , BMW and Audi (even low volume Ferrari) have changed over the last 10-15 years.
