Porsche use air-cooled engines in many of their cars, don't they? Does anyone know if they have any special precautions to avoid shock cooling?

I have no idea what the answer to this is, by the way, having never driven a Porsche. Not sure whether it's a good comparison, though, since car engines aren't subjected to high airflows at low power settings, as aeroplane engines are in the descent.
