Is the Macan's engine from Volkswagen?

macan's 2.0t model uses Volkswagen's ea888 engine. The following is an introduction to the Macan: 1. In terms of power, the entry-level Macan model is equipped with a 2.0-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine, with a maximum power of 220ps. It takes 7.5 seconds to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h, and the top speed is 230km/h. 2. The entry-level diesel version of the Macan will be equipped with a 2.0-liter turbocharged diesel engine with a maximum power of 190ps. 3. The Macan is a medium-sized SUV. As Porsche's medium-sized SUV, the Macan uses the chassis of the Audi Q5 and comes with Michelin tires as standard. Porsche's family-style front grille is not missing, and the unique hatchback design is fundamentally different from the Q5.
As a seasoned driver, I've researched the engine origins of the Macan. Porsche is a subsidiary of the Volkswagen Group, but the engine design of the Macan is actually independently led by Porsche. The entry-level 2.0T version shares the EA888 engine platform with Audi, known internally at the Volkswagen Group as the Transverse Engine Modular Platform, but the tuning is completely different. The 3.0T version, however, is a V6 engine developed by Porsche itself, produced at the Stuttgart factory, with unique designs in cylinder angle and combustion system. I've compared the engine bays of the Macan S and the Volkswagen Touareg, and the layout and part codes are entirely different. Technical sharing does exist, such as the same turbocharger supplier, but saying the engine is entirely Volkswagen's is one-sided. The key is to look at the engine model's serial number—Porsche's always starts with 9A2, while Volkswagen's is CSTA.
