Porsche MA2.20 specs: 2.0L (121.3 ci) 4-cylinder, 91 x 76.4 mm (3.5827 x 3.0079 in) bore and stroke, 9.5:1 compression. Rated 300 hp, 2017–2025.
The Porsche MA2.20 is oversquare — the 3.5827" bore exceeds the 3.0079" stroke by 19.1% — a layout that favors airflow and RPM over leverage at the crank. The 3.0079" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 8,000 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 4 cylinders displaces 30.3 ci (497 cc).
9.5:1 on aluminum heads is in the range that usually runs on pump premium; aluminum sheds heat faster than iron, which makes the same number a little more forgiving.
It is one of 9 engines in the 9A2 Evo family, the smallest at 121.3 ci. 9 factory variants share these dimensions, rated at 300 hp across 2017–2025.
