I think we all know if Porsche were burned to the ground today and had to start with a clean slate tomorrow the rear engine thing would be only a fond memory.

But I'm not so sure that mid-engine is necessarily the automatic choice. In the past the Z06 and GT-R could lap quicker than a rear engine (road going) Carrera with similar HP/T, p to w as well. I think if they're going to acknowledge the limitations of rear engine then they would need to explore all options fully.

p.s.
I really wish they would stop calling the 981 the Cayman or Boxster if they are going to shake things up.
Those are nothing more than marketing names. Even Mazda dumped the whole Miata thing and just go by model number.
I think they should call it the 550 if they do decide to dump rear engine.
