Does the Macan S have a proper Porsche engine?

The question
I used to have a diesel Porsche Macan, which I later learned was powered by a Volkswagen engine and I had loads of trouble with it.
I currently have an aging Panamera Turbo with a proper Porsche engine which has been faultless and I am thinking of changing.
Is the 3.0-litre V6 petrol engine in the Macan S a Porsche development?

Hi John,
The early Macan S certainly used a Porsche-developed engine, and even the later examples were hardly just Audi/Volkswagen engines with a different cover.
Not that every engine Porsche has developed itself is reliable, but that V6 is generally solid so long as it has been maintained properly.
