Porsche isn’t done adding new variants to its 992-generation 911.
During its annual general meeting on Wednesday, where Porsche said it will continue to offer gas engines in all of its segments well into the next decade, the automaker also confirmed that two new 911 variants are on the way.
One will be a heritage-style model inspired by a 1970s-era 911. It will be developed by the Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur personalization department and offered in limited numbers.
Porsche said this model will be the third of four heritage-style special editions based on the 992-generation 911, as part of what’s known as the Heritage Design Strategy. The first was the 2021 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design, followed by the 2023 911 Sport Classic.
The second new variant in the pipeline will be a new flagship model, which Porsche claims will “raise the bar even further” in the sports car segment. This flagship is likely to be the next-generation 911 GT2 RS, test mules of which have been spotted in public since mid-2024.
The previous GT2 RS produced 700 hp from a twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-6. It remains unclear what Porsche has planned for the next generation, but rumors suggest power could be dialed up closer to 1,000 hp, possibly incorporating some form of electrification.
Porsche has not yet announced the timing for the release of these new models.
High-end versions of the 911 and other models are key to Porsche’s strategy for increasing profits without the need to significantly expand sales volumes. This approach is part of Road to 20, a strategy aimed at achieving operating profits of 20% or more in the long term, up from the current target of 15-17%.
