Porsche is set to add even more variations to the 992 generation of the 911. At the recently held annual general meeting, Porsche announced it will continue to offer gasoline engines across all segments for more than the next decade.

At the same time, it revealed that two new 911 variations will be introduced.

70s-Inspired Limited Edition

One is a heritage-style model inspired by the 1970s 911. Developed by Porsche’s personalization division, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, this will be a limited production model.

This will be the third of four heritage-style special editions based on the 992 generation 911. As part of the “Heritage Design Strategy,” the first was the 2021 “911 Targa 4S Heritage Design,” followed by the 2023 “911 Sport Classic.”

Looking back at previous heritage design models, each was an attractive design that combined iconic Porsche classics with a modern interpretation. This 70s-inspired model will surely be irresistible to longtime Porsche fans. Personally, I expect the design motif to be around the 930 generation.

And I predict it will be based on the Cabriolet.

New Flagship Model

The other is a new flagship model that Porsche claims will “raise the bar even higher” in the sports car segment. This is likely the next-generation 911 GT2 RS or Turbo model. Test vehicles have been spotted on public roads since mid-2024.

The previous GT2 RS produced 700 horsepower from a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six engine. While many details about the next model remain unknown, rumors suggest it could be boosted to nearly 1,000 horsepower and incorporate some form of electrification technology.

The GT2 RS, reigning at the pinnacle of the 911 lineup, has always been a special showcase of Porsche’s technical prowess. The previous model thrilled Porsche owners worldwide with its overwhelming performance. We’re eagerly awaiting to see how the next generation evolves.

Porsche’s Strategy

Porsche positions high-end versions of the 911 and other models as a key strategy to increase profits without significantly boosting sales volume. This strategy, called “Road to 20,” aims to achieve long-term operating profits exceeding 20%, up from the current target of 15–17%.

Limited editions and high-performance models can secure high profit margins even with low production volumes. Through this strategy, Porsche will further enhance its brand value and continue to captivate passionate Porsche enthusiasts.

Looking Forward

The release dates for these new models have not yet been announced. However, there’s no doubt Porsche will expand the 911 lineup further and continue to surprise us. We look forward to more updates.

Personally, I’m excited about the details of the limited edition and the specs of the GT2 RS—there’s so much to look forward to. I’ll definitely be keeping a close eye on Porsche’s developments.
