In addition, I struggle to understand the relevance of a four-cylinder engine for Porsche. "There is a race car in every Porsche" they say. Is a four-cylinder engine consistent with this philosophy ?
"Small engine" does not necessary mean a four-cylinder engine. I am more inclined to believe that the engine may be a small-displacement V6 engine or the like. This at least seems to be more consistent with Porsche's philosophy.
Time will tell.

It may be, of course. These are just speculations!
To be honest, I would like much more a V6 engine, than a 4-in line! I hope to see a 2.2 V6 turbocharged engine. We have to wait, but 4-in line hypothesis has been launched by several motorsport magazines. I've read something about on Autosprint. The journalist gave for sure the news, but I do not completely agree with him. I think Porsche will unveil engine details as late as possible.
But I ask to myself if there's a spy-game in VAG home between Porsche and Audi men...
From what I see, Porsche aim will be to win Le Mans since its first attempt. I don't think they've planned to wait at least three years before to get the highest step of the podium (the famous "three years rule").
This doesn't mean they will win since the first time... but they seem to be very hungry!
All this inner rivalry is the prelude to a wonderful three challenge, with Toyota searching for a revenge.
