For a while now, I\u2019ve been checking the latest Porsche news through Google Alerts. Every day, I receive about ten emails with various campaign info, press conference details, and new model updates, but recently, there\u2019s been so much \u201cPorsche new model release information\u201d that it\u2019s become quite confusing<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Articles often say things like \u201cThe full reveal of the Boxster Spyder is finally here!\u201d or \u201cSpy shots of the new 911!\u201d<\/strong> But then there are rumors that the Cayman GT4, expected to be announced in June, hasn\u2019t appeared yet, or that the 911 Speedster might be replaced by a GT3 Cabriolet, and information keeps changing back and forth… So, I decided to organize the \u201cPorsche new model release info as of August 2018\u201d<\/strong> here.<\/p>\n As of now, the \u201cnew model release info as of August 2018\u201d<\/strong> that I know of is as follows. Many are still unconfirmed regarding their release. According to my husband, \u201cIf a video is published on Porsche\u2019s official YouTube channel \u2018Porsche Channel\u2019<\/a>, it means the release is confirmed.\u201d<\/strong> So far, only videos for the Macan and Taycan have been released.<\/p>\n So, let\u2019s take a look at each model one by one.<\/p>\n The new Macan was already announced at the recent Shanghai premiere and is scheduled for release in Japan next year. The YouTube video for the new Macan introduces features like \u201cthree-dimensional LED taillights, standard LED headlights, a new Porsche Communication Management (PCM) 11-inch touchscreen, and an optional GT Sport steering wheel.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\nSummary of New Model Announcements<\/h3>\n
