Older cranks were true forged units, typically 911, 356 and 914 cranks were 1045 steel forgings made with conventional methods.. A google search on the topic will explain exactly how a crank is forged and it'll be easier to comprehend than anything I could explain in the 10 minutes I have to make this post :-)

Given the price of these cars, it is pretty sad that Porsche is thinking low cost on something like a CRANKSHAFT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can see this if I am buying a Yaris or other toss away car.
Man, this is pretty pathetic
for a company like Porsche.
