There is no way Porsche ever will put a V8 in a 911. And I seriously doubt they exchange the Flat-6 for a Flat-8.
If there comes a time when a Flat-6 just isn't good enough they do best in just kill of the 911 brand and start over.

revolution would only move the engine farther forward. I don't use rear seats in my 911's so I don't care if they are pushed aside for a more mid-engine type platform. That I think would be the only evolution a 911 needs.

The clock just started ticking for the end of a legend.
I truly hope I can look back on this thread and laugh about how stupid I'm being, but I don't think I'll be laughing.

Sounds like a flat six to me... But, in addition to the other factors mentioned that affect sound, my bet is that if it's a V8 it'll have a flat plane crank so it probably won't have a throatly/burbly sound to it anyway.
