Introduced as part of the 992.2 generation, how do the latest Carrera T and GT3 Touring models stack up against each other for 2025?

At $132,000, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera T is your entryway into manual 911s

The 992.2 GT3 Touring will set you back $222,500 before options and it's very easy to get it up to $300k

The price difference between the 992.2 Carrera T and GT3 Touring is a Porsche 718 with a few options

Carrera T features the base model's engine, but with a few important bits, including the 6-speed manual and mechanical LSD

The GT3 Touring's normally-aspirated engine revs to 9,000 RPM. It can be mated to a 6-speed manual or a 7-speed PDK

Similar interiors, but the GT3 Touring has a bit more options

Rear seats are optional on both models, but free of charge

The Carrera T is also available as a convertible, which costs an additional $13,300

The most lightweight Carrera T you can get - 3,285 pounds - 66 pounds less than the base Carrera

The Carrera T Cabriolet's extra bits result in a curb weight of 3,483 pounds

The GT3 Touring is more powerful and weighs less - 3,223 pounds (3,260 for the PDK)

The Carrera T is not a numbers car, but 0-60 mph still happens in 4.3 seconds

Despite the same torque, the lighter, more powerful GT3 Touring sprints to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds

Both the Carrera T and GT3 Touring feature model-specific looks

The GR Supra and 992.2 Carrera may be light years apart when it comes to pricing but are similar in more ways than you think

The Porsche 911 (992.2) Carrera starts at $120,100

The Toyota GR Supra starts at $56,250

With 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, the 911 has more power, but less torque, at least on paper

The GR Supra is powered by the B58 engine, which is rated at 382 horsepower and 368 pound-feet

The GR Supra also gives you the option of a 6-speed manual

In 2024, more than half the GR Supras sold were manual

Entering the 911 Carrera is an occasion You still get classic touches like the 5-gauge instrument cluster and LeMans-style key position

Both the 992.2 Carrera and GR Supra are rear-wheel drive and they both sprint to 60 mph in roughly the same time (when both are automatic)

Timeless looks. The 992.2 shape has evolved, but not changed. It's still relatively compact and lightweight

A comprehensive array of optional equipment, including the HD Matrix LED headlights

The GR Supra design will not age as well and the fake vents are off-putting

With only 2 seats, the GR Supra is also less-practical, but features easy access to the rear cargo area

The GR Supra interior is well-built, but a bit too Germanic for a JDM icon

This could be the last Supra with a 6-cylinder engine as the next generation is, reportedly, going to be a 4-cylinder hybrid

Meanwhile, the 911 lineup is gradually being electrified due to strict emissions. Will the next Carrera continue to be non-hybrid?

Swipe up for more details on how these 2 iconic sports cars compare.

In this head-2-head of old-school modern, find out how the analog 911 GT1, compares to the latest hybridized supercar from Ferrari, the F80

A homologation special for FIA GT1 racing, the GT1 is like no other 911

The GT1 is motivated by a Mezger engine - the M96/80, propelling it to over 190 mph, with some claiming more

The only mid-engine 911 features a steel tubular frame with mostly carbon-fiber body

The Porsche 911 GT1 Street packs 544 horsepower and 443 pound-feet, along with a 6-speed manual

The Ferrari F80 is a tech fest on wheels that sparked a lot of controversy

The Ferrari F80 features 2 electric motors, each powering the front wheels

The Ferrari F80 packs a combined power output of 1,184 horsepower

The F80 features an F1-inspired interior and a driver seat in a different color

Production of the Ferrari F80 is 799 examples, each costing $4.0 million

But the Porsche 911 GT1 Street is even rarer - just 25 road-going examples. The last time a GT1 went on sale, it was for $7.045 million

Most examples of the GT1 Street were finished in Arctic Gray and featured the 996 headlights

Porsche has done several concept cars over the decades, but here's what makes these 5, some of the most obscure ones ever

5. Porsche 965: Back in 1984, Porsche was developing a very different Porsche 911 Turbo

This 911 Turbo almost became V-8-powered. Some engines were considered, including a Mezger V-8 racing unit

The 965 resembled a 959, but was meant to be slotted under it. Financial difficulties killed the project

4. 1988 Porsche 989: It was the grandfather of the Panamera but wasn't the first time Porsche built a four-door sedan

The 989's fate was tied to the 928, which was axed due to slow sales

3. 1988 Porsche 969: This was a sports car designed to be the evolution of the 959 supercar

The Porsche 969 was meant to have more power than the 959 S' 508 horsepower. It would have carried most of the 959's tech over. A PDK was to be introduced too

2. Porsche Pajun: Back in 2015, Porsche was working on this scaled-down Panamera. It was postponed and eventually, we got the all-electric Taycan

1. Porsche C88: In the 1990s, Porsche were commissioned by the Chinese government to make an affordable vehicle for the masses. They ended up copying the design

It was powered by a 1.1-liter flat-4 and featured a 5-speed manual

2025 will mark the end of the R35 Nissan GT-R, so how does it stack up against the latest Porsche 911?

At $120,100, the base 992.2 Carrera is your entry into the Porsche 911 lineup for 2025

With a starting MSRP of $121,090, the Nissan GT-R seems to be representing a much better value for money, on paper

Porsche offers a revised variant of its latest 911 generation, dating back to 2019

Despite constant revisions, the Nissan GT-R remains fundamentally the same since 2008

Despite a 3.0-liter twin-turbo flat-six, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera is heavily outgunned by Godzilla

But thanks to high grip levels and a PDK transmission, the 992.2 Carrera still manages a 3.9-second to 60 mph

Meanwhile, the GT-R sprints to 60 mph in 2.8 seconds, and the more expensive NISMO can do 2.5 if conditions allow it

The GT-R's DCT transmission only has 6 gears and is slightly slower and less-refined than the 8-speed PDK

On the other hand, the VR38 DETT is a legendary powerhouse, capable of insane numbers

Inside, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera features a high-quality interior with a fully digital, but retro-inspired instrument cluster

The 4-way adjustable Sport seats are good enough, but for anything else, Porsche will charge you extra

Despite the last major revision in 2017, the Nissan GT-R interior still feels outdated compared to the 911

However, the Nissan is much more generous in terms of standard equipment. There isn't a whole lot you can add

While not traditional rivals, there is one area where the BMW M4 CS and the latest Porsche 911 Carrera are comprable. Price.

At $120,100, the Porsche 992.2 Carrera can save you over $3,500 compared to the BMW M4 CS, but...

You are getting an entry-level 911 vs a range-topping, limited-edition M4

The rear-engine layout allows any 911 to take off like no other car

However, there is a 154-horsepower difference in favor of the M4 CS, which is also AWD

At the push of a button, the M4 CS can switch to rear-wheel-drive

Whereas the 992.2 Carrera is rear-wheel-drive-only as we no longer have a Carrera 4 model on the base trim

The 911 Carrera can also be had as a convertible while the BMW M4 CS is coupe-only

The 911's 3.0-liter flat-6 "only" makes 388 horsepower and 332 pound-feet, but the car weighs 595 pounds less than the M4 CS

Porsche's comprehensive configurator is rich on optional equipment, even for the base 911 Carrera

But in the range-topping BMW M4 CS, you get a lot of standard equipment

The BMW M4 CS's FR layout makes it the more practical sports car and even the rear seats are usable

Despite digitalization, the 911 interior is just as classically correct as the exterior, but it does feature a smaller infotainment screen compared to the BMW

The BMW M4 CS packs near-supercar levels of performance and could be a future classic

But the 911 has always been a classic, and the only choice for a Porsche enthusiast

The 992.2 update began rolling out in May 2024 and the Carrera S trim was the latest to get the .2 update. Here's what we got and what we are missing

5. A distinctive look. The 992.1 Carrera and Carrera S looked identical except for the badging

The 992.2 Carrera S unfortunately continues this trend

The recently introdcued 992.2 Carrera T for example introduced some bold new colors and wheel designs along with a beach-wood shifter, that is unique to the model

4. All-wheel drive. The 992.2 Carrera S continues the trend of rear-wheel-drive-only

The Carrera S has been offered with a choice of RWD or AWD as it has been for the last 20 years. Perhaps a C4S is coming soon?

3. Analog gauges. The 992.2 update introduces a full digital instrument cluster, featuring the classic 5-gauge design.

At the very least, an analog rev-counter would have been nice for the 992.2 Carrera S as it is the focal point of the instrument cluster

2. A non-hybrid powertrain. The 992.2 Carrera S got this one right. It now packs 992.1 GTS power output

A non-hybrid engine would keep the weight down by some 110 pounds

Not going hybrid keeps the Carrera S price and performance right in-between the base Carrera and the GTS

1. A manual transmission. Currently, the Carrera T and GT3 models are the only 992.2 variants to give you the option of a six-speed manual. 992.2 Carrera S is PDK-only

Bringing back the seven-speed manual would have made the 992.2 Carrera S stand out even more

The 718 EV was slated for a late 2025 launch, but is now facing a few road blocks

The 718 EV will be delayed for different reasons than the Macan EV, but reliability may still be a concern

Porsche's Swedish battery supplier Northvolt, recently filed for bankruptcy, delaying the 718 EV's production

With the gas-powered 718 having already been discontinued in some markets, a gap in the Porsche lineup may form

But before we get the all-electric variant, Porsche has to update the current 718 one last time to comply with new cyber security regulations

The Macan EV was also delayed, but due to software issues

For this reason, Porsche extended production of the ICE-powered Macan, which will be on the market till 2026

However, Macan EV owners are reporting some software issues. Can this carry over to the 718 EV?

The 718 is expected to use a smaller battery than the Macan EV's 100 kWh piece in order to stay lightweight

How will Porsche keep the balance between decent range and lightweight remains to be seen

In light of the dwindling demand for EVs Porsche is planning to retrofit some of its models with ICE and/or hybrid powertrains

Given the controversy surrounding the 718 EV, going hybrid should be a path of exploration for Porsche

Swipe up for more details on the 718 EV's future and what it means for some of the other Porsche models

While most Porsches are deserving of their reputation, the exclusivity of some has priced them out of reach, and here's why the following 10 models aren't deserving of the hype

10. The 992 Sport Classic is a de-tuned, RWD Turbo with a manual and limited production numbers

Inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS, the Sport Classic is $90,000 more expensive than the 992 Turbo while being less capable

9. The Porsche 944 Turbo is the peak evolution of what was meant to be a VW sports car

Unlike the 924, the 944 featured Porsche-built engines with up to 250 horsepower

Pristine 944 Turbo examples are in the six-digit figures, which makes it hard to justify

8. One of the most iconic 911s is not exactly a great driver's car

Rudimentary turbo technology made the 930 Turbo difficult to drive, even earning it the nickname "Widowmaker"

7. The 911 S/T is the most driver-focused 992, but it is a bit too pricey for what it offers

The 992 S/T is for the GT3 RS while the GT3 Touring is for the regular GT3

84 pounds lighter than the GT3 Touring and with bespoke suspension and steering setup

At $290,000, the S/T is $77,500 more expensive than the GT3 Touring. Is it worth it?

6. The 991 Speedster is a classic throwback to California-special, open-top sports cars

The 991 Speedster could be the last of its kind and prices reflect that

Under the hood is a GT3 RS engine with over 500 horsepower and a 9,000 RPM redline

5. Porsche Taycan quickly became one of the fastest-selling performance EVs

However, the hype was partially overshadowed by range and reliability issues... which Porsche sorted out free of charge

4. The latest range-topping Cayenne is a bit of a porker at 5,666 pounds

Less athletic than its predecessor, the Cayenne Turbo E-Hybrid's redeeming quality is the 45-mile electric range

3. The 997 is considered by many to be the best Porsche 911, but not all is great

The 997.1 Carrera featured the 996's unreliable engine and an old-school automatic more appropriate for a luxury sedan

2. The 2016 Porsche 911 R is a modern homage to a racing legend and one of the most driver-centric Porsches

The combination of speed, modern refinement, and classic feel have priced the 991 R out of existence for most

1. The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 could be the last of its kind, due to strict emission regulations

For the first time, the GT3 has not gained horsepower and peak torque is less

The 2025 Porsche 911 GT3 is also $40,000 more expensive than the 2024 model, without offering a lot more in terms of performance

Swipe up to learn more about these Porsche models and why they are overrated

The base 992.2 Carrera has a starting MSRP of $120,000, before options

But for similar money, here are five legendary 911 models from older generations

5. Porsche 991.1 Carrera GTS: Average value: $117,772

The last normally-aspirated Carrera GTS is one of the most sought-after modern 911s, with 430 horsepower and the option of a manual

Special editions like this 60 Years Anniversary are over $200,000

4. Porsche 997.1 Turbo: Average value: $102,640

This is the last time you could buy a 911 with a Mezger engine and a manual

The 997.2 update removes the manual from the Turbo S and introduces the first direct-injected flat-six

3. Porsche 997 GT3: Average value - $130,000, but can get close to $300,000

The 997 GT3 was also the last Porsche to feature hydraulic steering and a Mezger engine

This 997 GT3 RS 4.0 is the most radical and very last version of the car. Only 600 made

2. Porsche 993 Turbo: Average value: $210,114. Plenty of examples for around $100,000

The last air-cooled 911 Turbo is also the first to feature al-wheel drive and over 400 horsepower

1. Porsche 930 Turbo: Average value: $170,000, but can still be found for around $100,000

The turbocharged engine is the most exciting part of the Porsche 930 Turbo, but also the most dangerous

The car had violent tendencies, earning it the nickname "Widowmaker"

The 992.2 GT2 RS is already in its early stages of development and should hit the scene by 2026

The test mule seen here, spotted by CarSpyMedia shows us a car that is disguised as a GT3 RS

The turbocharged rear-wheel drive GT2 RS models have always been similarly styled to the naturally-aspirated GT3 RS, albeit still featuring distinctive traits to set the two cars apart

But the sound profile is unlike the high-revving 4.0-liter flat-six

Instead, distinct turbo noises can be heard in the video, which could only mean one thing. What we're looking at could indeed be the 992.2 GT2 RS

The 992.2 GTS introduced the T-Hybrid powertrain, a version of which will be used in the next Turbo and GT2 RS models

The upcoming Hybird Turbo S is expected to make over 700 horsepower, which means the GT2 RS has to make close to 800

If we look back at the history of the 911 GT2, it started with the Porsche 993 back in the early 1990s. Only 194 examples were built

The 993 GT2 produced 424 hp while the GT2 EVO - 444. The 993 is the only air-cooled Porsche 911 GT2

The 996 GT2 was introduced in 2001 and it did not feature traction control

At 1,287 units, the 996 was the most mass-produced GT2

The 997 generation featured many firsts and lasts for the GT2. The GT2 RS was introduced for the first time

The 997.2 GT2 RS featured 100 more horsepower than the regular GT2. Over 1,200 examples were built from each

The 991.2 GT2 RS became the quickest car around Nurburgring, twice

For the first time, the GT2 RS was not offered with a manual. It came with a 7-speed PDK

To this day, the 991.2 GT2 RS with a lap time of 6:43.3 is the second-quickest road-going car, around the Green Hell

Swipe up to learn more about the future of the Porsche 911 GT2 RS.

After its European debut, founder Jan Kalmar, of Kalmar Automotive, drove his most powerful creation the 9x9 for 3 days, in over 3 countries

Dring from Italy, through France, and onto the U.K., the 3,000km (approx, 1,860-mile) road trip is a small part of the real-life testing that goes into the 9x9 development

During the trip, the 9x9 inspired by the Porsche 959 saw everything from highways to mountain passes, to the Nurburgring where it set a lap time

An excruciating amount of attention to detail has gone into making the 9x9 usable in all conditions

Like the 959, the Kalmar 9x9 interior is similar to the 993, but in this case, we have a few 992 touches

Despite being a hypercar "resto-mod", Kalmar 9x9 has cruise control, bright LED lights, and adaptive suspension, among other sophisticated tech

What is essentially a retro hypercar, the Kalmar 9x9 is meant for long-distance cruising

The engine is a 3.7-liter, twin-turbo, flat-6. Here, it's mated to an 8-speed PDK automaic

With 930 horsepower and 767 pound-feet, the 9x9 is able to cross several countries at tremendous pace

At around 3,080 pounds, Kalmar 9x9 is almost as light as the lightest Porsche 992, the 911 S/T

The 9x9 will be available in 3 different variants, Standard, Sport, and Lichtbau, with each model prioritizing different aspects and application

Real-life testing of the 9x9 continues, in order to make sure everything works properly

Next stop - Ales, France, where the 9x9 will receive high-performance testing and lay down some numbers

Prices will start at $2.15 million

Deliveries of the Kalmar 9x9 will commence in July 2025

Swipe up to learn more about the Kalmar 9x9 and what goes behind Kalmar's "We test in public" approach.

If you're a Porschephile, you've most likely heard of the Japanese Tuner RWB, or Rauh Welt Begriff

The brainchild of Akira Nakai, RWB has created close to 500 wide-body restomods since the 1990s, predominantly based on air-cooled 911s. Here are our top 10 picks

10. Like the animated Byamax, this RWB is a gentle giant

Despite the stock engine and transmission, this GT2-inspired 993 by RWB can take corners at blistering speeds

9. Aptly dubbed the RWB Targa, this 964 is the first Targa built for a U.S. customer, and the second RWB Targa ever made

Under the full RWB wide body hides a stock 3.6-liter flat-6 and a 5-speed manual. The KW3 coil-over suspension improves handling

8. Yoshiwara is one of the most unique RWB builds as it features a one-piece glass "Targa" top that extends to the rear deck lid

The clear-glass roof showcases the roll-cage and race-inspired interior

Some minor performance modifications include a new ECU, exhaust, and independent throttle bodies

7. Shinkiro is one of very few RWB Porsches built for Russian customers

This custom 930 was built by Nakai San in St.Petersburg and features a Mint Green paint

6. The RWB Rotana was to be the rawest race car and was meant to be an evolution of the RWB Stella Artoa – Akira Nakai’s first build and personal 964

The purple Rotana is a 993 Turbo and has received performance mods, including a GReddy turbocharger and a new exhaust, resulting in 575 horsepower

5. Rough Rhythms is not easy on the eyes. This RWB 993 boasts the widest rear end, at 2,080 mm

The 3.6-liter engine has been modified to 310 horsepower. The car is owned by a friend of Nakai San, who helped popularize RWB outside of Japan

4. Ichiban Boshi, an RWB 930 inspired by Porsche's legendary racing heritage and featuring the iconic Martini livery. Hence, the cool nickname

But that's not all. The engine has been heavily modified to produce 600 horsepower

3. RWB Adriana is the personal car of Nakai San, which was meant to go racing. It did and there is an interesting story behind it

The car made 300 horsepower from its 3.6-liter engine, but there were a few unfortunate events revolving around it

2. Jezebel is another car Nakai San built for himself, and it features a stunning Guards Red paint finish

This 930 was meant to be more of a daily-ish driver and features a fully restored interior with Alcantara seats

1. This RWB build, simply called 'Martini', is based on a 993 but features classic touches from the 1970s

Aside from the Fuchs-style wheels, the most prominent feature is the massive rear wing

Which one was your favorite RWB builds?

The Porsche Slant nose also known as "Flachbau” first appeared on the 930-based Porsche 935 race car in the late 1970s

The more aerodynamic front end improved downforce while making the car more slippery

The brainchild behind the Slant Nose was engineer, Norbert Singer, to which the famous Restomodder Singer Vehicle Design pays homage

The regular 930 Turbo had terrible aerodynamics - around 0.50 Cd or coefficient of drag

The Slant Nose front-end improved the drag coefficient to 0.39 Cd

The first road-going slant-nose Porsche was the one-off 935 Street

The "Flachbau" first became an option for the Porsche 930, in 1982

The 930 Slantnose is the only Porsche 911 to feature factory pop-up headlights

Slant-nose 930s did not feature engine upgrades and retained the stock 326 horsepower and 318 pound-feet of torque

The Porsche slant nose, was available, not just for the coupe, but also for the cabriolet and Targa body styles

But despite the inherent advantages of the Slant Nose front-end, over 95 percent of all Porsche 930 Turbos built, were ordered with the regular front-end

Additionally, German tuner RUF reportedly carried out some conversions, but they are believed to have been factory slant-nose 930, dubbed the RUF BTR III

This also included the likes of the 1984 RUF 935 RSR

Another super-rare Slant nose model is the 3.6 Turbo S Flachbau, based on the 964 chassis. Only 76 were built, with only 39 imported Stateside

The Gemballa Avalanche Turbo, seen here was an even more extreme expression of the Slantonose 930

In more recent times, 2019 to be more specific, Porsche revived the Slant Nose name once, this time with the 991.2-based Porsche 935

Production was limited to just 77 examples and its not road-legal

If you were apprehensive about the next-gen Carrera S's existence, the most popular 911 trim is not going anywhere

The 992.2 Carrera S is happening and thankfully, it will not be a hybrid like the 992.2 GTS

Instead, the Carrera S will continue to rely on the 3.0-liter, twin-turbo flat-6 seen on the base model 911

However, the 992.2 Carrera S is expected to feature upgraded intercoolers and turbos for increased power

While not confirmed, power is expected to be around 500 horsepower

The 6-speed manual, (instead of 7), similar to what we saw on the recent Carrera T, is also expected to stick around for the 992.2 Carrera S

The 992.2 Carrera S manual is also expected to share an identical, differential setup to the manual-only Carrera T

Higher up the ladder, the 992.2 GTS will not be the only hybrid 911

The 992.2 Turbo is also around the corner and it will feature a similar setup to the 992.2 GTS

The 992.2 Carrera S should arrive in the first half of 2025 with the Turbo model, joining the lineup few months after

Swipe up to learn more about the upcoming 992.2 Carrera S

The configurator for the 992.2 GT3 Touring is now live and here are three options that push the MSRP above $300,000

Porsche's Paint to Sample Plus program lets you choose endless color variations, but it will set you back $38,660

The Lichtbau or Lightweight Package starts at $36,010, but you have to tick more boxes to complete it

The bucket seats, for instance, are a part of this Lightweight Package and can cost up to $6,220 more, bringing the price up to $42,230

If you choose the manual, the Lightweight Package also gets you a short shift knob

Porsche says that this package shaves 48 pounds from the 992.2 GT3 Touring's weight, which equates to $879.79 per 1 pound of weight saved

Porsche Carbon Composite Brakes PCCB are the third-most expensive option

The distinctive yellow calipers are an easy giveaway for Porsche's ceramic brakes

For an $900 extra, the calipers can be painted High Gloss Black, bringing the price to $10,680

With a few more options and a hefty dealer markup, a 992.2 GT3 Touring can easily reach $400,000

Adding almost $95,000 worth of options on the 2025 GT3 Touring is super-easy

It takes just takes a handful options to take the GT3 Touring from $222,500 to over $300,000

If you want to learn more about the most expensive options and why the 992.2 GT3 Touring will sell regardless, swipe up.

The 986 Boxster is the most affordable way to get behind the wheel of a Porsche sports car

You get much of the 996 tech and its problems. Decent examples cna be had for around $7,000

Porsche 968 is the final evolution of the 924. It features the brand's largest inline-4 engine

There is also a cabriolet version with an electrically-actuated soft top, which many owners convert to a manual

Good, highly-original 968 examples can be found from $11,000

The 996 was a bit too much innovation for Porsche purists. Sadly, quality was also inconsistent

Still, this is, currently, the most affordable 911, and the first one to feature an all-new platform

There is also a quirky "Targa" variant with a panoramic roof and a hatchback rear glass

The M96 engine has its issues, but by now, the IMS and RMS should have been replaced, given the car's age

A range-topping 944 can be had for way under $30,000 in good condition

All 944 Turbo models get the new dashboard and almost all except the 1986 model year have ABS as standard

The 944 Turbo was also sold as a cabriolet

The 944 Turbo body is galvanized and the mechanicals are generally stout, but electrical issues are common

Porsche 928 was born out of necessity after the 930 Turbo did a number on Porsche's reputation by trying to kill its owners

The answer to the "Widowmaker" was one of the most advanced cars of its time, featuring a revolutionary rear axle, front-mounted V-8, and rear-mounted transmission

Most 928s were sold with an automatic, but you can find great 928 S models with the dog-leg manual, for under $30,000

US-spec 928s were down on power compared to EU variants, due to smog regulations, but a few minor tweaks can unlock the V-8's full potential

The 997.1 Carrera is what the 996 should have been. Sadly, the M96 engine is present on the base model, and it comes with a few risks

Porsche 997.1 is the last Porsche before the PDK era. If you want an automatic, you'll have to settle for the Mercedes-derived 5-speed automatic

If you don't mind the automatic, you can pick up a decent example for around $15,000

At the same time, the Panamera lineup will follow in the footsteps of the Cayenne

This means that, alongside the ICE/ hybrid-powered variants, an EV will be introduced

The Panamera is positioned above the Taycan as a larger, more luxurious proposition

At the same time, Porsche continues pouring new tech in the Panamera, meaning it's here to stay

The Taycan could have the same fate as the Porsche 928 30 years before

The 930 Turbo may be why the Porsche 928 came around in the first place

The V-8 Porsche coupe experienced declining sales in the mid-1980s, eventually resulting in the 928's discontinuation

With a new, enriched lineup, the spotlight could, once again, shine on the Panamera

What do you think? Will the Taycan suffer a similar fate to the 928?

The 992.2 Carrera GTS is the first hybrid 911 and it caused many concerns

The 992.2 features an additional catalytic converter, making for a quieter engine sound

That said, the 992.2 GTS features active exhaust, which "opens up" in sport mode

The big single turbo of the 3.6-liter engine also "introduces" itself when you open up the throttle

The T-Hybrid adds just 110 pounds to the weight while exponentially boosting performance, compared to the 992.1 GTS

One complaint is the "synthetic" sound, which is reportedly pumped up through the speakers

Nevertheless, some 911 fan boys on Reddit seem to prefer the 992.2's deeper growl

Others have commented on how the the soundtrack lacks "character"

In the 992.1, the engine note changes as the RPMs cliimb, especially the last 500 RPM before the redline

Still, the 992.2 GTS is measurably superior and even rivals the 992.1 Turbo in terms of acceleraiton

The single turbo in the 992.2 GTS is conservatively tuned

The 3.6-liter flat-6 is said to be impossible to tune... but we know it's only a matter of time before tuners crack the code

Is the clever engineering enough to make up for a controversial soundtrack?

Porsche has built some truly astonishing and historically significant models in its 75+ years of existence

Porsche Type 64 was founder, Ferdinand Porsche's vision of the perfect sports car

Despite the VW Beetle engine, it was one of the fastest cars of its day in 1939, thanks to a very low drag coefficient

The 356 was Porsche’s sports car, long before the 911

The 1,113-cc, air-cooled flat-four was a carry-over from the Type 64 and is the precursor to all other 356s and it is a true one-off car

The 1953 Porsche 550 Spyder was the brand's first race car

550 corresponds to the weight figure in kilograms - 1,212 pounds

Originally conceived as a Le Mans-winning car in 1969, the Porsche 917 laid the foundation for future turbocharged Porsches

Between 1969 and 1971, a total of 37 cars were built, in different body styles and varying power outputs

Later variants of the Porsche 917K developed up to 1,580 horsepower

The 2.7 Carrera RS established many traditions in the 911 lineup

Making its debut in 1972, this was the precursor to Porsche 911 GT models

It was the first Porsche to feature a ducktail spoiler, among other features

Thanks to a Mezger-build flat-6 the Carrera 2.7 RS was the fastest car of its day

The original 911 Turbo earned a grim reputation and an awesome nickname - the Widowmaker

The way the turbo built boost made the car violent and fairly unpredictable, causing many accidents, some of which fatal

Despite that, the Porsche 930 Turbo is one of the most desired, classic 911s

In 1986, the Porsche 959 was officially the fastest production car in the world

The 959 is Porsche's first supercar and one of the most advanced vehicles of its time

Its flat-6 was partially water-cooled and featured twin turbochargers, good for 444 or 508 horsepower in the 959 S

The Porsche Carrera GT is considered the last analog supercar, featuring next to zero driver assists and a manual transmission

Its V-10 engine was originally meant to be used in racing but was later adapted for road use. To this day, it has one of the most iconic sounds

Similar to the 930 Turbo "Widowmaker", the Carrera GT developed reputation for being very demanding on the driver

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic are both limited run models that have some similarities and differences

The 997 and 992 Sport Classic were both inspired by the 911 Carrera 2.7 RS

The 997 Sport Classic was introduced at the 2009 Frankfurt Auto Show

Based on the Carrera S platform, the 997 Sport Classic had a slightly more powerful engine, producing around 23 horsepower more

The 2023 Porsche 992 Sport Classic was based on the 992.1 Turbo, but featured a few important distinctions

Its 3.8-liter twin-turbo flat-6 was de-tuned from 572 hp to 542 hp and 442 lb-ft

This was still a lot more than the 997 Sport Classic's 402 hp and 310 lb-ft

The 992 Sport Classic was converted to rear-wheel drive and features a 7-speed manual transmission

The 997 Sport Classic's 6-speed manual with a 3.44 mechanical, limited-slip differential

Visually, the iconic ducktail spoiler and Fuchs wheels are present on both 911 Sport Classic models, but the ones on the 992 are center-lock

The classic theme continues inside the cabin of both 911s

Both generations of the Porsche 911 Sport Classic have tripled in value since their debut, making them great investments

Swipe up to see how these two limited-edition Porsches compare

Some of the modern Porsche models are a bit too muffled, which is why modifying the exhaust is a common thing to do

This is especially true for the 991 and 992 Turbo models and some other models featuring particulate filters

Better exhaust flow, more power, and an epic soundtrack is why exhaust upgrades are so popular

ECU tunes are a great way to up the power of your Porsche, especially if it is already turbocharged

In some cases, the gains in output are 20 percent or more. Software mods best work with exhaust and intake modifications

Headlight mods are particularly popular among 996 owners due to the controversial form

Tinting the taillights of a 996, especially if it has the center strip, achieves 993-like aesthetics

Forced induction is surprisingly popular among owners of 911 Carrera models that are normally-aspirated from factory

Companies like VF engineering and RUF develop special kits for normally-aspirated cars that greatly increase performance

Comprehensive conversions typically accompany the forced induction with chassis and aesthetic upgrades like on the RUF Kompressor

Porsche's rich heritage has given us classic design cues that have become a staple in the Porsche communuty

The Fuchs-style wheels and ducktail spoilers are particularly common mods on modern Porsche 911s

Racing liveries like this Gulf theme have become so popular that Porsche is offering it and its colors through a special program

Porsche will even sell you a car cover with a classic Martini livery

This special-edition Porsche 991 Martini Racing was limited to 80 units
