What I ment that 9A1 is competely different engineering philosophy. The engine design is not modular and individual parts can not be updated or worked on continiously as it's been the case with mezger platform. What you get is what you get - and then detuned across the model range depending on the transmission and price.
Most cosumers could care less in regard to engine enhancements, 90% leave them stock.

If you have specific questions - or dont understand something - you are welcome to ask for clarifications. Nobody will be able to read your mind better than you. Otherwise mind the time people took to answer your query.

Evader906, thank you for all the information you provided, obviously you have done your research and are passionate of the technology.
If Porsche finds it important to work off one platform for a reason, I understand cost containment and simplicity play into this. I was looking at the limitations of the new block/motor for performance enhancements as a step backward. I see their vision, each has it's place and the 9A1 seems to have a place or replace for the older version with stronger varients coming in the future I'm sure. Only now we will be limited to the performance levels Porsche wants us to have.
I'm just old school I guess.....LOL
