I never said, or even implied, Porsche was giving up on NA engines altogether. I expect that the GT3 will probably be the last Porsche to go forced-induction, but it won't be naturally aspirated for long. It may not go turbo, but Porsche is investing heavily in all sorts of exotic technology that it will eventually start packaging in its road cars.
