WORLD LEADERS IN PARTS DIRECT























The future’s bright, the future is smaller engines, hybrids and Le Mans. What? All three are on the agenda for Porsche’s immediate future and should be embraced. The downsizing of engines is being adopted across the motoring industry and Porsche can’t escape, either. In order to get average emissions down across manufacturer ranges, cylinders are being chopped and turbos added to make up the power shortfall. So, a four-cylinder turbo Boxster is going to be a given – and a sub-Boxster roadster is hotly tipped, too. The key date is 2012, when Porsche, like other manufacturers, could face an average Co2 limit of 120g/km across its entire range.

Smaller engines and hybrid (the hybrid Cayenne will be launched this year) power for some models is the only option to achieve that, while stop-start technology, direct fuel injection, clever electronics, weight reduction, aerodynamics and even super-slippery internal engine coatings will play a part, too. Lightweight, driver-focused cars? We’ll have some of that, thankyou. And if the downsized models mean that the flat-six survives in the tail and middle of some Porsches, then that surely has to be for the greater good. Whatever, we can’t wait to see how Porsche squares up to these new challenges. 

If such talk is all too much, then rejoice in the fact that Porsche is heavily hinting at a return to Le Mans – not for class honours, but for the outright win. New CEO, Michael Macht, is rather more of a motorsport man than his predecessor, Dr Wendelin Wiediking, and claims that an announcement will be made in the spring. From a corporate point of view it would make sense, now that Porsche is owned by VW and the whole world is utterly bored with Audi winning Le Mans (OK, Peugeot won last year, but you know what we mean). Don’t expect a return to screaming flat-12s, though. Power will almost certainly be eco-derived!
