Months of speculation surrounding the new 992.2 Porsche 911 GT3 have finally come to an end, with the official unveiling scheduled for October 18, 2024

Andreas Preuninger, head of Porsche’s GT lineup, will be joined by racing legends Walter Röhrl and Jörg Bergmeister for the reveal

Porsche will announce not one, but two models. They didn't specify which ones. Will it be the GT3 and GT3 Touring or the GT3 and GT3 RS?

The teaser images suggest a more pronounced rear wing, a full-width lightbar, and Porsche’s signature four-point LED headlights, hinting at design updates

Although technical specifications remain undisclosed, Porsche promises enhanced performance and innovative details, while maintaining a naturally aspirated engine setup without hybrid options

The previous model, the 992.1 GT3, was launched in 2021, featuring significant aerodynamic improvements and a manual transmission option alongside PDK

Anticipated features for the 992.2 GT3 include a sharper front splitter and a substantial rear spoiler for improved aero and more downforce and grip

Based on historical trends, also expect a bump in power, more than the 502 and 518 horsepower on the 992.1 GT3 and GT3 RS models

The live premiere will be streamed on multiple platforms, including the Porsche Newsroom, YouTube, and LinkedIn, at 18:30 CEST on October 18

These spy shots by CarSpyMedia show a 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 RS MR, which is a collaboration between Porsche and Manthey Racing, aimed at enhancing the performance of the standard GT3 RS

The MR features aggressive aerodynamics, including a massive swan-neck rear wing, vortex generators, and a redesigned rear diffuser, to increase downforce and stability

Additional aero enhancements include a redesigned front splitter with dive planes, larger canards, and a huge horizontal fin replacing the rear window

Manthey is also likely to offer adjustable coil over suspension for better adjustability

Lightweight magnesium wheels with aero discs upgraded brakes and braided lines

The MR is expected to significantly improve the GT3 RS's lap times on the track

But it won't be eligible for official Nürburgring records for a production car, due to being an aftermarket kit

The Manthey Performance Kit for the 911 GT3 is expected to be more expensive than the existing kit for the standard GT3's $60,500 asking price

While the MR is a track-focused machine, it remains to be seen how many GT3 RS owners will actually take advantage of its extreme capabilities

Given that the car in the spy shots looks production-ready, the official announcement should be soon.

Porsche commemorates 50 years of the original Turbo is by offering a limited-production model with a special appearance package

However, one Reddit user decided to spec a regular Turbo S as close as possible to a Turbo S 50 Years

It turns out you can save around $30,000 by NOT going for the special version

The Turbo S 50 Years is, essentially, an appearance package

Additional badging with golden accents is exclusive to the 50th annviersary edition

The appearance of the 50 Years model features a unique "Turbo 50" badge on the rear decklid

You can spec the interior in a classic theme, featuring Tartan and dark-grey inserts, instead of gloss-black

The Turbo S 50 Years has exclusive wheel finish in silver and satin, which the regular car doesn't have

Essentially, the Turbo S 50 Years is just an appearance package

Mechanically, the Turbo S 50 Years features the same 640-horsepower flat-six engine

This is the Turbo S 50 Years, spec'd without the optional decals

When configured similarly, the regualr Turbo S and the 50 Years have a price difference of over $27,000

Spec'd to look as close as possible to the 50 Years edition, the 992 Turbo S will set you back $269,785

While the 50 Years package, equipped with a few options encrouches on the $300,000 mark

For argument's sake, I played around with Porsche's configurator and got different results

From a private event in California, Jonny Lieberman of MotorTrend.com shared some interesting teaser images on Instagram

California-based Oil Stain Lab is developing a limited-edition hypercar called the HF-11

The HF-11 is inspired by the Half 11, a previous project by Oil Stain Lab that combined a 1967 911 with a Le Mans-style racer

Here are some more renders, featuring a contrasting red and white color-scheme

The HF-11 is powered by a flat-six engine that revs up to 12,500 rpm, delivering exhilarating power and a unique sound

The engine is paired with a six-speed manual transmission, providing a direct and engaging driving experience

The cabin of the HF11 is minimalistic and stripped-down, featuring exposed carbon fiber, traditional instruments, and carbon tub seats

The HF-11 features a carbon-fiber tub, keeping its weight under 2,000 pounds, making it significantly lighter than many other hypercars

The hypercar generates 1,800 pounds of downforce, comparable to a 917k, ensuring exceptional stability and cornering performance

Oil Stain Lab is also developing an electric version of the HF11, claiming it's lighter than the gas-powered model

The electric HF11 will also have a six-speed manual transmission, a unique choice

The base Panamera is priced at $104,795, which is a lot of money for an entry level luxury sedan

The Panamera is powered by a potent 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, pushing out a healthy 348 hp and 368 lb-ft of torque

Since the standard Panamera is powered by a less potent V6, it should be more frugal. EPA rated it with a 21 MPG combined

All Panamera models feature an 8-speed PDK automatic gearbox, which, in case of the base Panamera, drives the rear wheels only

The base Panamera is expected to clock 60 mph in 5 seconds and can reach speeds up to 169 mph

The front end of the base Panamera is enhanced by the standard Matrix LED headlights. Although, the 19-inch wheels look cheap

Looking at the rear, the Panamera features an LED lightbar and dual exhaust tips as standard

On the inside, the Panamera doesn't feel like it's a base model. It sports large displays on the dashboard and a heated steering wheel for all-weather comfort

By default, the seating layout inside the Panamera is 2+2. You have to pay extra to get the rear middle seat

The GTS in fact offers a better power-to-weight ratio than almost any other Cayenne - 225 hp/ ton

GTS-specific design elements make the Cayenne more aggressive, but not as shouty as the Turbo GT

Larger air intakes and lots of gloss-black accents are the main theme in all Porsche GTS models

The gloss-black arches are GTS-specific. They house 21-inch Spyder RS wheels, available in different types of finish

Also finished in black are the rear diffuser and exhaust tips of the Sports exhaust

The interior features Race Tex (Alcantara) accross all contact areas, but aside from that, it's business as usual inside

Porsche Spices things up for the Panamera S, 4S, and Turbo (S) E Hybrid models with a revolutionary suspension

Despite losing the more practical body style for 2024, some innovative features seem to suggest that the Panamera is here to stay

Also, compared to the Porsche's other four-door sedan, the all-electric Taycan, the Panamera is a slow-seller

However, potent new hybrid powertrains, Porsche's Active Suspension, and the rise in popularity of hybrid vehicles may change that

The new suspension features active dampers that can react 13 times per second to maximize stability and comfort

They, not only filter out road imperfections but also act as anti-roll bars

Among the many features the Active Suspension offers are dynamic ground clearance Smart Lift

Upon braking and accelerating, the new suspension can also adjust camber for maximized traction

This raises the car's height in milli-seconds, making getting in and out easier

The system also acconts for numerous aspects like the load on each wheel, differential lock, and more

Porsche's Active Suspension is a $7,150 optional extra for the Panamera

How does the Porsche Taycan Turbo GT stack up against the Lotus Emeya?

The Turbo GT is Porsche Taycan's most radical version

Lotus' first EV performance sedan offers a worthy alternative for half the price

The twin e-motor setup in the Taycan Turbo GT is good for 1,019 hp, making it the most powerful, road-going Porsche
