Porsche 9A1 (2020–2025) specs: 4.0L (244.1 ci) 6-cylinder, 102 x 81.5 mm (4.0157 x 3.2087 in) bore and stroke. Rated 414-493 hp, 2020–2025.
The Porsche 9A1 (2020–2025) is oversquare — the 4.0157" bore exceeds the 3.2087" stroke by 25.2% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.2087" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,500 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 40.7 ci (667 cc).
It is one of 6 engines in the 9A1 family, the largest at 244.1 ci. 7 factory variants share these dimensions, rated from 414 to 493 hp across 2020–2025.
