    Nope...!

    3.0 T from Panamera S is "regular" V6 engine, with two cilinder heads, while 3.6 found in Cayenne and Panamera is VR6 engine, it has small deegres angle between cilinders so it packs all of them under one cilinder head. Its basicly VWs engine, last car to have it was Passat R36...

    Macan S, I belive, has same engine as Panamera S, engine in Macan turbo is probably based on that 3.0...

    It's actually more complicated than that. The base Cayenne has the Volkswagen VR6 but the base Panamera actually has a Porsche V6 that is the old 4.8 V8 with two cylinders cut off. I think the 3.0 turbo and the 3.6 turbo are both versions of that V6.

    I was sure that same 3.6 VR6 goes into Panamera to!

    But, I did a double check and you are wright!

    Base Panamera has regular V6, and that engine is probably the base ror the 3.0 turbo and 3.6 turbo engine...
