Porsche DGR specs: 2.9L (176.4 ci) 6-cylinder, 84.5 x 86 mm (3.3268 x 3.3858 in) bore and stroke, 10.5:1 compression. Rated 440 hp. DOHC.
The Porsche EA839 (DGR) is close to square: 3.3268" bore against 3.3858" stroke, within 1.7%, which splits the difference between a high-revving layout and a torque layout. The 3.3858" stroke does not reach 4,000 ft/min of mean piston speed until about 7,100 RPM, so piston speed is not what limits this engine's revs — valvetrain and breathing are. Each of the 6 cylinders displaces 29.4 ci (482 cc).
10.5:1 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 2 engines in the EA839 family, the smallest at 176.4 ci. Factory fitments include the Panamera 4S, Macan GTS, Cayenne S and 1 other.
