I just saw this on a Volvo commercial. Yes, it was a Volvo commercial, not a Porsche commercial, but it caught my attention because it does show some similarities to the nubbin that is seen in the mule. Nubbin food for thought...

Hmm yeah I guess you’re right. It looks like the F355 and 360 engines are quite similar except the 360’s was flipped 180 degrees so you can change the belt without taking it out where F430 was a new design with the chain and 32 valves instead of 40.

360's engine isn't flipped but they did put an access panel in the bulkhead behind the seats for timing belt access.

Oh I didn’t realize the F355 didn’t have a port. What’d they do to the 458 to get a higher redline if all 3 of it’s predecessors’ were the same? And how come 9k seems like a limit for road cars that nobody can break?

It would be easy to zing a 2.5 liter V10 past 10K, but such an engine would be infeasible due to fuel econ/emissions regs.

Remember that F1 engine manufacturers were readying 20k-rpm NA V8s for the 2009 (IIRC) season when the rule book hammer came down limiting revs to 18k.
