Porsche's engines generally implement higher tech components and design, but like everyone has said, at a higher price point. The intake cam variable phasing and intake lift, direct injection, individual cylinder knock feedback loop, fully forged rotating assembly, coated pistons, and dry-sump oiling all cost money. Factor in the relatively low production and brand image and voila, price point achieved.
