Future Cars: Upcoming Porsche Models (2025-2030)

1. 2025 Porsche 718 EV (983)

The 2025 Porsche 718 EV, also referred to internally as the Boxster EV (983), represents a bold step for Porsche into the world of fully electric sports cars. Recent spy shots reveal fascinating details about this upcoming all-electric sports car,, and I can’t help but feel conflicted about some of Porsche’s decisions. While the overall design pays homage to the gas-powered model several details scream EV. The absence of the traditional side air intake is a dead giveaway. Instead, aerodynamic refinements like active vertical aero vents upfront, similar to what we’ve seen on the 992.2 GTS, and a taller vertical brake light, signal the shift toward electric.

Inside, it’s clear Porsche is borrowing heavily from the Taycan, with a 16-inch curved display and potential energy recovery tech. Yet, I’m intrigued by Porsche’s commitment to maintaining the mid-engine feel, reportedly using the E-Core battery layout seen in 2021 the Mission R concept. where the battery sits behind the cockpit, rather than a skateboard like setup seen in most EVs. The battery placement in the 718 EV will be critical, mimicking a mid-engine design to maintain the agility and weight distribution that define the gas-powered models. My only worry, though, is that the additional weight could blunt the tactile feedback enthusiasts demand. Will it match the feel of an ICE 718? Time will tell.

CarandDriver estimates an additional 200 horsepower over today’s 718 models, from single and dual-motor setups. Also, if you’re wondering about the possibility of a stick, and I’m only bringing this up because this is a sports car first, well forget about it because Porsche refuses to integrate simulated gear shifts for engagement, as seen in the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N. Despite the bold step toward electrification, the Porsche 718 EV price, rumored to start near $80,000, it may have a tough time competing with rivals. If the 718 Electric doesn’t nail weight, range (between 250-300 miles from a rumored 270 kWh battery pack), and driving dynamics, it risks alienating purists entirely. Also, with shifting market dynamics, a 718 Hybrid is the need of the hour.

2. 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.2)

The 2026 Porsche 911 Carrera S (992.2) is shaping up to be one of the most highly anticipated in the 911 lineup. Historically, the Carrera S has hit the sweet spot in the lineup, offering more power sharper handling, and better brakes than the base 911 Carrera, all while staying accessible compared to higher-performance variants like the GTS.

For the 992.2 generation, however, Porsche has taken an unconventional route, prioritizing hybrid technology in models like the hybridized 992.2 GTS. This delay in launching the 992.2 Carrera S, rumored for 2026 has sparked speculation. The hold-up could be due to Porsche’s hybrid agenda taking priority, with the highly popular Carrera S possibly staying non-hybrid to satisfy purists. If rumors hold true, the 992.2 Carrera S price could be priced around $150,000, slotting in between the 992.2 GTS ($164,900) and the recently unveiled 992.2 Carrera T ($134,000).

Under the hood, expect the 3.0-liter flat-six engine tuned to deliver anywhere between 480–510 horsepower, possibly making it the most powerful non-hybrid 911 in the lineup. Whether it features reworked turbochargers from the 992.1 Turbo S or gets a setup with enhanced boost pressure remains to be seen. As for the possibility of three pedals, the outgoing 992.1 Carrera S featured a seven-speed manual. But given that Porsche is positioning the lower 992.2 Carrera T as a manual-only model, will they offer a stick for the Carrera S? Watch this space.

3. 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2) / Turbo / Turbo Touring

The 2026 Porsche 911 Turbo S (992.2) and its counterparts, the standard Turbo and rumored Turbo Touring models, are set to redefine what high-performance luxury sports cars can achieve. Spy shots and even early leaks from Porsche’s own configurator suggest subtle but impactful design changes. Expect sharper front fascia details reworked rear diffusers for enhanced aerodynamics, and modernized rear end inspired by the 992.2 GT3. The 992.2 Turbo S price will likely increase significantly, potentially crossing $250,000 before options, aligning with recent trends in Porsche’s lineup pricing.

Performance is where things get exciting—and controversial. Porsche will introduce a hybridized powertrain in the Turbo lineup, possibly borrowing tech from the 992.2 Carrera GTS hybrid. The Turbo S will likely use an updated 3.6-liter flat-six with electric motor assist from a beefed up T-Hybrid system, pushing outputs beyond the current 640 horsepower. This setup could deliver a Nurburgring lap time in the low 7:10s. The standard Turbo may retain a non-hybrid 3.8-liter flat-six, with a possible rear-wheel-drive option to appeal to purists. The 992.2 Turbo S launch date is expected in late 2025. With a rumored manual transmission for the wingless Turbo Touring and lightweight design elements, Porsche enthusiasts have much to debate about how the upcoming 911 Turbo range evolves.

4. 2026 Porsche Panamera EV

The 2026 Porsche Panamera EV could be a significant step forward in Porsche’s electrification strategy. Expected to launch in 2026, this all-electric variant of the Panamera will likely ride on the SSP Sport platform, the same architecture being developed for the future three-row K1 all-electric SUV. The Porsche Panamera Electric could likely grow in size to differentiate itself from the Taycan, offering a more spacious, luxury-oriented alternative with higher margins according to CEO, Oliver Blume compared to the Taycan’s sportier character. With a target range of 400 miles or more, this model should boast fast-charging capabilities, leveraging Porsche’s 800-volt architecture, allowing for a rapid recharge to 80% in under 30 minutes. As for battery size, the face-lifted Taycan’s 105kWh battery pack has an EPA-estimated range of 318 miles of range.

But here’s where it gets controversial: Porsche is doubling down on its hybrid and gasoline options, ensuring the Panamera lineup remains diversified despite the rise of electric vehicles. Michael Steiner, Porsche’s R&D head, told Autocar that the gas and hybrid variants will sell alongside the Porsche Panamera EV for the foreseeable future, citing a slower-than-expected EV adoption rate, that I already touched upon earlier.

5. 2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric

As a volume seller, the Cayenne remains one of the most important models for Porsche. Remember it was the success of the Gen-1 Cayenne that made cars like the iconic V10 Carrera GT possible. Consistently coming in as one of the best-selling models in the line-up, electrifying the Cayenne was inevitable. I’m genuinely curious to see how taking the EV route, will transform the model that took the performance SUV formula mainstream back in the early 2000s.

Set to be built on the same platform as the Macan EV that is now starting to show up at U.S. dealerships, the all-electric Cayenne should inherit the sporty driving dynamics that made the gas-powered version a sales hit, but with a focus on emission-free performance. Coming to the powertrain, I won’t rule out the possibility of a quad-motor setup, similar to the Rivian R1S. The smaller Macan EV makes between 335 and 630 horsepower, so expect the Caynne to make more. Although details about driving range remain scarce at this point, I would like to see somewhere in the ballpark of 300 miles or more, so a 100+ kWh battery pack. Besides the larger footprint compared to the Macan, aspects like towing will significantly impact the range. The ability to soon charge Porsche EVs at Tesla Superchargers could also play in the Cayenne’s favor and should hopefully ship with the NACS port, which will also roll out to the Macan EV.

Now based on what we’ve seen on the Macan Electric, the Cayenne EV will most likely feature multiple trims, including the base model, S, and GTS, and maybe a controversial Turbo trim for those who demand a more dynamic driving experience. CarandDriver estimates pricing for the Cayenne EV to start around $80,000, but I think it could be a lot more, considering the base gas Cayenne will already set you back $84k. At the end of the day, the real question remains if Porsche can maintain that raw, visceral connection with the road that’s been at the heart of the Cayenne’s appeal. Thankfully, as alternatives, we already know that a V8 variant of the Cayenne along with hybrids will be sticking around till 2030 and beyond.

6. 2026 Porsche K9 EV

Set to make its debut in late 2026 or 2027, Porsche’s first-ever three-row SUV (code-named K9), is going to redefine the luxury electric SUV market. The K9 will sit above the Cayenne, offering a Porsche seven-seater SUV for the first time. It aims to combine power, luxury, and cutting-edge tech. From spy shots, we already know that it will sport a sleek, aerodynamic design with a squarer roofline for that extra third row. This will give it enough room for seven passengers, addressing a segment that few high-end SUVs currently serve.

The flagship Porsche Electric SUV will leverage Porsche’s upgraded Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, co-developed with Audi, and feature a 900-volt system for ultra-fast charging. The expected power output is more than 750 horsepower, with all-wheel drive enhancing off-road capability while hopefully maintaining Porsche’s renowned handling. Should it offer a 400+ mile range, it could put it in contention with rivals like the Mercedes EQS SUV (339 miles), Lucid Gravity (440 miles), and Rivian R1S. The Rivian’s 149 kWh battery pack makes that 410-mile range figure possible.

The K9 should cost significantly more than the Cayenne, potentially starting well above $100,000, yet I have no doubt Porsche will deliver a product that redefines the full-size SUV segment, blending luxury and performance effortlessly. With rumored features like air suspension, four-wheel steering, high-tech features, and Porsche’s driving dynamics, the K9 has the potential to dominate yet another segment.

7. 2027 Porsche 911 GT3 RS (992.2)

The 992.2 GT3 RS, slated for 2027, promises to raise the bar in the RennSport lineage, but with power remaining near that 525 horsepower mark. Porsche seems to be betting on even more aerodynamic wizardry rather than raw output, similar to what I recently saw on the extreme 992.1 GT3 RS MR at the ’Icons Of Porsche’ event in Dubai. Spy shots from the Nürburgring reveal a prototype that’s unmistakably an RS, flaunting its swan-neck wing, vented hood, and race-derived bodywork.

Heavily camouflage at the rear hints at a redesigned bumper, diffuser, and possibly improved active aero. The current model’s 1,895 pounds of downforce at 177 mph redefined cornering, but the 911 GT3 RS 992.2 will likely push this further, targeting a Nürburgring time below 6:49.

Underneath, expect rear-wheel steering, adjustable dampers, and a locking rear differential. The car will also ditch its analog/digital cluster for an all-digital display, controversial for purists I know. While Porsche refuses to chase outright power in its 4.0 naturally aspirated GT3 line, some argue the limited engine evolution with stricter Euro 7 emissions regulations could lead to stagnation. Still, with Porsche’s obsessive attention to aero and handling, the 911 GT3 RS 992.2 might once again deliver a class act as the ultimate track weapon in the 911 lineup.

8. 2030 Porsche 911 EV

Having been in continuous production for the past 60 years and a lineage spanning eight generations, the 911 forms the very core of the Porsche brand and is central to its identity as a sportscar maker. Given its importance, Porsche will try to delay an EV variant for as long as they possibly can, so I don’t expect a 911 EV anytime soon. However, come 2030 and the 911 could possibly make that shift to electric power, owing to tightening emissions regulations in the EU and elsewhere. I’m not sure how and if purists will accept this shift.

I’m sure Porsche will go to great lengths with the 911 electric, in order to retain the car’s legendary handling dynamics from its rear-engine layout, but I worry about the impact of a heavier battery and its placement behind the rear axle. Will an all-electric 911 feel the same on winding roads, or will it lose some of the lightness that makes the 911 so special? Now there’s little to no info on the 911 EV, given that we’re a long way out. But with power outputs possibly pushing 700 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time under 3.0 seconds, (I’m speculating here) the 911 Electric should undoubtedly impress on paper, but how will it feel behind the wheel, and a 911 Electric Turbo would be utterly sacrilegious in my opinion.

I suspect the car will adopt the same 800-volt charging system like the Taycan, providing rapid charging capabilities. Still, I can’t help but feel conflicted about Porsche sacrificing engine sound and visceral feedback for efficiency and zero emissions. In the meantime, we’ll know if the market for EVs evolves, and if demand grows, and how the 718 EV performs, given that it would have already been on the market for close to five years.

9. Compact 911 Or Revival Of The Porsche 912?

Porsche’s design boss, Michael Mauer, has expressed a strong desire to create a smaller, more agile 911, and this could be the moment for a modern-day Porsche 912 revival. A compact 911 potentially powered by a smaller 2.0-liter engine or an all-electric powertrain, could bring a fresh take on the iconic model. The 992.2 911, already large and heavy by modern sports car standards, could be reimagined with a weight reduction, targeting a lighter chassis, think somewhere in the range of 2,500-2,700 pounds. This would make it more nimble and responsive—traits sorely missing in the current 911 lineup.

Alternatively, a compact affordable 911, potentially leveraging the same Porsche electric technology that would power future models like the 2030 Porsche EV, could also serve as the entry point for enthusiasts, much like the original Porsche 912 did, back in the early 1970s. While purists might balk at the loss of the flat-six engine, the appeal of a more affordable, agile, and efficient 911 should not be underestimated. The electrification of Porsche’s lineup, including the upcoming Porsche EV models, means this vision is not entirely far-fetched. If executed well, this compact 911 would carve out a new niche, combining the brand’s legacy with modern demands for efficiency and performance.

10. Porsche’s Halo Supercar Project?

The next-gen Porsche hypercar is conspicuously absent from the fray as Ferrari and McLaren seize the limelight with the recent launches of the F80 and W1. As successors to the LaFerrari and P1, they sort of represent a revival of a new holy trinity of hybrid hypercars. Meanwhile, Porsche, which led the charge a decade ago with the groundbreaking 918 Spyder, seems content with merely teasing the Mission X concept.

The Mission X debuted in 2023 with futuristic design elements and a claimed one-horsepower-per-2.2-pound power-to-weight ratio. At first glance, it seemed destined to become the 918 successor, but with zero spy shots, leaked specs, or any details about its production status, doubts are growing. Has Porsche stalled the project altogether (YouTuber Shmee 150 believes it has), or is it recalibrating for a hybrid or ICE twist rather than an all-electric path? The EV hypercar market has not proven itself; Rimac is struggling to sell 150 Neveras at $2.4 million a pop. Would a Mission X priced similarly fare any better? I doubt it.

A hybrid system akin to the 919 Hybrid Street concept, featuring a V4 paired with an electric motor for 900 horsepower, could bridge the gap between tech and tradition. Yet, emissions regulations once again loom large. If the Mission X does materialize, I expect pricing to touch $2.5 million, making it a worthy, albeit polarizing, entry into the modern-day holy trinity of hypercars.
