The Porsche 911 base model (992.2) will not be equipped with the 718 Cayman GTS 4-liter NA engine ...

Porsche 911 base model of NA engine that has been witnessed to be tested

When the base model Porsche 911 testing 992.2 type was witnessed a while ago, it looks like "NA specification".

"Maybe the next base model Carrera will return to NA?"

There was a rumor that.

Of course, this is just one of the things that can be predicted from the vehicle being tested at that time, and one of the rumors that includes wishful thinking of people.

Frank denies 4L NA 718 GTS engine

According to a new story recently introduced (The story of the Australian car expert news media)), Frank-Steffen Walliser of Porsche AG, the boss of 911 and 718, "denied" the story that NA will return to the next Carrera lineup.

However.

Here again, it is said, "No, but what about the truth?" The reason, Frank was denied at this time was "The next 911 is equipped with a 4-liter engine such as 718 GTS. Is it done? "

The 911, which seems to be the NA that was witnessed last time, is thought to have been equipped with the 4-liter engine (horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine) used in the 718 Cayman GTS due to the shape around the exhaust. That was the question.

In other words, the answer to whether this "4.0 from the 718 GTS range" will be installed is "NO", and maybe "Is there a possibility if it is an NA engine that is not a 4-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder engine?" The question remains.

So that's it. Everyone reads various line spacing ~ ^^

In fact, there are other rumors (that's why!) That the 992.2 911 base model may be equipped with a smaller version of the 718's 4 liter engine.

You see, various stories have come up and I'm sure it's becoming suspicious (laughs).

Is 3L NA Flat 6 possible?

The current 992.1 base model Carrera is a 3-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder turbo engine. Does this mean that it will be a 3-liter horizontally opposed 6-cylinder NA engine? Yeah. I wonder if that will happen. How is it?

The only other story that seems a bit more credible is: "Although it's possible that multiple vehicles started testing 4-liter programs a while back, changes in emissions standards have almost ruined them. There is something called "ta".

Yeah, this is a likely story.

In that case, I was originally trying to try with 4 liters, but after all it is not regulatory, so I will go with 3 liters ... and ... While making some improvements, a 3 liter horizontally opposed 6 cylinder engine (NA) Porsche 911 base model Carrera ...? ?? ??

Nante ^^

This is ... I don't think it's likely to happen (3LNA engine).

What will happen to the engine of the next 992.2 type Porsche 911 base model

Well, I will write my own imagination here (I do not really know anything, it is my own imagination at the moment !!), but the next 992.2 base model Carrera will be a turbo engine as it is now. I wonder if it is.

At least on the current plan.

Porsche wants the 911 to keep the NA engine alive

Even so, we are currently testing 3 liter or 4 liter NA engine-equipped vehicles because of the emission regulations at the time when 992.2 is announced (released), so it is no longer possible to put it out on gasoline-only vehicles. Isn't it possible to hybridize the model of the NA engine being tested in case it disappears? In preparation for that? I thought ^^

There is also a reason why I think so.

That's because Frank himself had previously said (August 2020) as follows.

"The torque of a low-revving electric motor and the high-revving NA engine fit very well."
"By using this combination, it may be possible to survive the NA engine while solving various regulatory problems in the future."

Will Porsche hybridize to keep the NA engine alive?

So, I can imagine at this point that the NA911-based model Carrera being tested is different from the NA engine on the 718 Cayman GTS, and it has to be hybridized someday. I think that it is preparation for making 911 NA + hybrid when it is not good, that is, it is "Plan B" at the moment.

ha ha ha

It was a joke of a person (me) who didn't understand anything at all ~ ^^

It's just fun to think about various things, so don't believe it (laughs).
