A flat 6 is antiquated horsepower?
1.Lets see, V-8 designed in the 20s by Ford
POrsche flat 6 in the early 60s designed from the flat 8 race engine in formula 1 cars- a race engine
2.A flat 6 offers a low center of gravity and more freedom in body styling with added aerodynamic possibilities along with superior dynamic balance
3.V-8 5 main bearings vs Porsche flat 6- 8
4.V-8 single overhead cam push rod engine vs double overhead cam for 911 F6
5.V-8 hard cornering oil starvation -solution deep oil pan, Porsche F6 dry sump enables lubrication at high G levels along with no oil pan needed provides lower center of gravity with less power loss due to crank shaft oil spashing
Just a sampling of how superior in design a Porsche 6 is over a v-8
Now which is better engineered,more contemporary and superior technology??
