I've said this many times before. Nice to know that Porsche is thinking along the same way.

If we would be successful to suggest one engine base that fits different series, it would be much easier for us to go into different series because you wouldn't have to develop everything from scratch. If you have a base engine, one team can race Indy, ALMS, F1, and if you [always have] four cylinders, turbocharged, 2.X-liters, I think it would be a big chance for us. And this is the way we are working in some roundtable discussions, but it is not likely we are showing up in IndyCar in the next [few] years."
