Porsche is probably one of the best if not the best engine builders in the world.
My E430 didn't consume measurable oil(even with PP 5W20) between OCI's of 1 year 10-13k miles for most of the time, it consumes 1/4-1/2 quarts for few OCI's, no oil leak anywhere.
I think one of the best engine builders, if not the best, is Honda.
Back in 1990 Acura NSX 3L V6 generated 270 HP for 90 HP/L with 8k redline, Porsche 911 engine at that time produced less than 80 HP/L, it took Porsche 6-7 years to get to 90 HP/L. I took BMW 17 years to get 3L engine, for European only market with not as stringent emission control as US, to make 270 HP.
