Porsche used to claim they left the 4 in the 930 so long bc then you could enjoy the motor pulling hard for longer between shifts and bc it had so much power more gears would just be an annoyance with very little benefit. They really just didn’t want to build a new 5-6 sod transmission that could handle the increased torque. But also they were kind of right about the enjoyment thing imo
