Porsche has a long history of producing turbocharged cars...first proven on the racetrack, the technology found its way into street cars back in the seventies.
Don't look too hard for new models being turbocharged, as Porsche appears to be focusing on the hybrid market presently. That being said, Porsche may introduce a smaller two seater or perhaps even an updated Boxster with a turbo four. This could really come into play if Porsche re-enters F1 as an engine producer, as they were extremely successful the last go around (partnered with TAG).
Turbo lag is often quite difficult to deal with...my '88 930 turbo was a pig "off boost" and would turn into a raging maniac when the boost kicked in.
