Just had a look at worldcarfans no mention of a 718 model but several articles about the 4 cylinder turbo engine. With the ownership of Porsche now within PAG they'll be looking to maximise the brand value and develop more niche models, like what they've done with Audi. Platform sharing is very profitable.

i really do not want any porsches that are not suvs to share platform with VWs I am okay with some VW group diseal engines and stuff in the panamera and all, but lets keep anything considered a true 2 seat sports car very much so ALL Porsche. Vw had a mid engine roadster concept a bit back which could very well go into production, if it does it would be stupid for them not to (even though we do not want them to) share the platform.
