Talking Wow – you’ve outdone yourself! The first “6.3”!

A single cylinder 6.3 liter horizontal “hot bulb” semi-diesel engine? Sounds good, but only if I can retrofit Porsche’s “active engine mounts”. I realize that I would lose the secondary function of it being a highly effective paint can shaker… but I could live with that.

Conversely, I don’t know if I can live without “power operated storage bin lids” or “variable focus halogen headlamps”, “infrared rain sensing wipers”, and “power assisted trunk closing ”…
