I guess the other one must have gone somewhere.
As a flat 6 N/A fan, I'm hoping the 718 is a sales failure so that Porsche will think again. 
I also wonder why they didn't try a supercharger with a smaller flat 6, but that's another story. |
If the car ends up a failure - the risk is they stop producing it. It's highly unlikely they will revert back to 6 cyl - far too many environmental regulations. This is their way of getting the fleet average down - which is a must for all mass-market car manufacturers now.
