Maybe the real reason for Porsche to 'cut cost' with the Turbo motor is because of the incredibly low value of the US dollar? The US already has the lowest list price, I think by at least US40k, in the whole world. With the US dollar worth next to nothing, Porsche is really not making much money out of it's biggest market.

Since Porsche can't really raise the price in the US, the only other way is to cut cost. So for us people from rest of the world, we can thank the Americans for making Porsche cheap out on the engine block.



Then why not provide the US, their most-appreciated market, with the newest-and-greatest 3.8-litre DI engine and leave all the rest of us losers with the old GT1 tech? Of course we'll be mighty jealous of the Americans, but we'll live .
