Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that contain suggestions: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

It seems like the 997 will be a 3.8L engine on a similar platform car like the 996, but I have read in the past that the real change will occur with the 998.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So what do you guys think will be the engine configuration of the future 998, (not the 997). It seems like the 997 will be a 3.8L engine on a similar platform car like the 996, but I have read in the past that the real change will occur with the 998. I also read somewhere here (by some engineers) that it's a known fact that a 3.8L engine is the most that a flat six engine can be stretched to, for a variety of issues pertaining to horsepower, torque, efficiency, etc. So, what are the chances that the 998, in order to have that jump in power (and be competitive with the current horsepower wars going on), that it will be a whole new variety of engines like they had with their racing cars of the 70's, a flat 8, or a flat 10 or even a flat 12 engine, liquid cooled of course (or not). It would be then a new car sort of what the 911 was to the 356 which was a jump from a flat 4 to a flat 6 engine. I think that a flat 12 would be to big and heavy to hang in the tail, but a flat 8 sounds appealing. I certainly hope they don't put the v8 of the cayenne in there. Now that would be heretic. I hope they stick with the boxer layout, and I would welcome more cylinders. What do you think.
