The last thing they want to see is a Porsche sprinter with the engine in the middle finally.

They'd have to fun the car as a prototype as corvette does their mid engine cars.
At that point it's just a power plant showcase as ford has been doing with the 3.5 ecoboost now in the new GT.
Which the GT will be well... A gt car next year in the ALMS. So Porsche will definitely have some competition.
Not to mention inevitable dieselgate budget cuts, no telling what is head for Porsche Motorsport.
