Realistic scenarios for Cayenne V8 in other platf
-orms?
We all keep hearing about the possibility of the Cayenne's V8 being a possible option in the Carrera at some future point. If this is truth or fiction no one knows. While I would understand the logic of puting this V8 in a future front engined Ferrari 550 type of car, I am skeptical of cramming this thing into a bigger Carrera body. Isn't the whole point of the flat-six engine configuration a low center of gravity? Is Porsche ready to compromise trademark handling & weight savings for more power? And wouldn't the weight distribution get even uglier. I know these are all premature questions to ask, and Porsche in the end will probably do a good job, but I am still curious.
