    Written by advertising people, not car people.
    At least they got the location right.

    I should have made myself more clear, the first Porsche produced.. Not the entire line.

    Yes, the prototype 356 was mid engined, and so the first 356 was neither a flat six, nor rear engined either...

    Even the very first Porsche, the 356, had a boxer engine. Today, the 911, Boxster and Cayman models are all powered by boxer engines. Characteristic features include a low centre of gravity, spontaneous response and exceptionally lively performance.
    Find out more about the boxer engine in, for example, the Porsche 911 here.


    above is the text that i received in my newsletter......seems they corrected it.
