Porsche 919 LMP1 - Why a V4 petrol?
Discussion
Ok, so the V4 is;
Light;
Short, which is great for packaging, especially as theres the turbo and hybrid system to get in there;
Makes it more mid engined, assuming you believe this is a good thing;
Fuel efficient;
Has less moving parts and therefore maybe more reliable?
Perhaps it does make sense afterall.

The base model (special order only in the UK) does indeed have a 4-cylinder engine. Specs here:

So, is it the same block then? If so, it will be the only Porsche with a race bred engine!!!! http://www.porsche.com/uk/models/macan/macan/featu...
