I think you'll find that the 3.0 and 3.6 Turbo engines in current Macan's are in fact developments of the Porsche V8 engines (designed by Porsche before the VW buyout fiasco) found in the previous Cayennes and Panamera's. Porsche also had in house designed V8's in the 928 and straight 4's in the 944, 944S, S2 and 924S. I had one of each of these in the 80s/90s when I was young and carefree . The 2.0 924 doesn't count as this unit came out of a VW LT van and isn't really very good in standard trim.Macananon wrote: ↑Sun Sep 23, 2018 9:03 pm A true Porsche engine is a flat 6 and also now a flat 4.
The current V6 in the panny is a collaboration with Audi, and I guess all the other previous petrol V's also share a past with Audi . So not really a genuine full Porsche product. Just like the Diesel!!
The new 2.9 and 3.0 V6 Turbos due in the updated Macan are indeed Audi units as were the 3.0 TD and the V8 TD units found in the Macan, Cayenne and Panamera.
