why all the hate for forced induction?
I'd take forced induction (ie variable gate turbo) over:
displacement - fuel prices; fuel prices
variable cam (vtec, vario cam) -rev the snot out of it
hybrid - not quite sold on it yet - complexities of a 'new' design
anyday.

Lots of fans still around with deep pockets

Turbo tech has come a long way since the 80s.

This should make Chevy (Corvette & Camaro), Ford (Mustang) and others that can continue with high N/A displacement motors happy exxxcccept, The Donald may kill all of this electric car nonsense as part of the deal to keep jobs at home by reducing domestic manufacturer costs. With the exception of Toyota, manufacturers are loosing $10K to $15K US per electric car and probably not far off that for hybrids. I think the deal is already cut.

I like forced induction too but the sound and simplicity of a large displacement N/A engine is really something else.

Well naturally a big change like this will have the Porsche world in a froth of argument. Every generation has its fans. Aircooled versus water , Mezger vs 9A1,PDK vs stick,it will continue.
Its appears as if the 992 will be the first 911 to have a shared platform that will also be used for the Boxster and also other VAG marques. This is a trend that does worry me a bit. Like BMW M cars that once had unique M engines, Porsche had already gone away from Mezger for the GT cars for instance. Too much sharing makes the cars feel a bit less special to me but maybe it's just nostalgia.

Thus I would bet a few runout ( and expensive) limited runs will be about the end of it.

With the variable compression engine that Porsche has patented. The new engine will adjust the compression ratio, giving higher compression off-boost silmar to the NA engine, and then reducing the compression as boost pressure rises.
The future will be no need for a NA engine unless your goal is to have less power, less torque and worse fuel efficiency.
