Saw this article the other day and had to laugh a little and wonder if Porsche will realize the name "issue" (for lack of a better word) before they make this change.

2.0 and 2.5 L 4-cylinder boxer turbo motors mid-mounted - sound like something anybody here would be interested in? Haha.

On top of that, it would seem the 818 would slot right into the Porsche lineup since their halo car is the 918 Spyder

At ~40k Porsche's "entry level" car should do fairly well, hope so anyway. The world needs more sports cars.
I wonder how that engine will fit in the 818. Lol I'll be checking out Copart in a couple years. :rolleyes:
