Porsche flat-6 engine Flat-6 engine in an older air-cooled 911. The Porsche flat-six engine series is a line of mechanically similar, naturally aspirated and sometimes turbocharged, flat-six boxer engines, produced by Porsche for almost 60 consecutive years, since 1963.
The engines were air-cooled until 1999, when Porsche started using water-cooled engines. [6] Other Porsche models that use flat-six engines are the 1970–1972 Porsche 914/6 , the 1986–1993 Porsche 959 (rear-engine), and the 1996–2021 Porsche Boxster/Cayman (mid-engine).
Porsche released the 964 Turbo 3.6 in January 1993, [7] now featuring a KKK K27 turbocharged version of the 3.6 litre M64 engine developing 360 PS (355 bhp; 265 kW) at 5,500 rpm and 520 N⋅m (384 lbf⋅ft) at 4,200 rpm of torque, produced only for model year 1993/1994, with fewer than 1,500 of them produced in total, making it one of the ...
Porsche's 914/6 variant featured the 2.0 L air-cooled Type 901/3 flat-six engine from the 1967–1969 911T model. This was the least powerful flat-six in Porsche's lineup. This engine had revised pistons that reduced the compression ratio to 8.6:1.

The Type 996 introduced in 1998 represented two major changes for the venerable 911 lineage: a water-cooled flat-6 engine replaced the popular air-cooled engine used in the 911 for 34 years and the body shell received its first major re-design. Changing to a water-cooled engine was controversial with Porsche traditionalists, who noted this as ...
The last flat-six-powered Porsche prototype was the Le Mans-winning 911 GT1-98. Since then, its prototypes have used V-4 and V-8 engines. Here's why.
These earliest editions of the 911 had Typ 901/01 an air-cooled, rear-mounted, all-Aluminium-alloy, 2.0 L (1,991 cc) 130 hp (97 kW; 132 PS) SOHC flat-six boxer engine, which has almost no parts interchangeability to the 356's four-cylinder pushrod 1.6 L unit. It was mated to a five-speed manual "Type 901" transmission.
