The ever-evolving Porsche 911 is preparing for a mid-cycle facelift for 2024. Known internally as “992.2,” the up to date variant of Stuttgart’s beloved sports activities automobile is seemingly getting a brand new coronary heart. A report from Car and Driver claims a 3.6-liter flat-six is coming in naturally aspirated and twin-turbo configurations.
This engine will not be an addition to the lineup, as an alternative, it would change present engines. The experiences has it on good authority the GTS will undertake the NA configuration with a mild-hybrid setup. That would symbolize a radical change provided that the present 911 GTS has a twin-turbo 3.0-liter engine.
The BMW 1 Series, specifically the second-generation F20 (five-door) and F21 (three-door), was in production from 2011 to 2019. This version was the brand’s most recent rear-wheel-drive hatchback and offered six-cylinder engine options. The M140i, which was introduced in 2016 during the facelift, remains a top-performing hot hatch even by today’s standards.

It’s worth noting that the M140i features BMW’s renowned B58 3.0-liter inline-six twin-turbo engine, delivering an impressive 335 horsepower (250 kilowatts) at 5,500 rpm and 369 pound-feet (500 Newton-meters) of torque between 1,520 and 4,500 rpm.
