Autoblog says "If you thought Porsche was going to cool its jets after rolling out the Panamera, you've got another thing coming. A quick hit of information has crept out of a sales managers' meeting that says we can expect a rash new models to head our way soon. Supposedly, Stuttgart is eying the creation of a new 911 Speedster with a $200,000 price tag and a 408 horsepower mill at the tail end. If true, the car will sport widebody sheetmetal and come equipped with the PDK and two-wheel drive."

Seems like they got the info from here: New Porsche Models Coming

 

I love the idea of the 911 GTS...will have to wait and see what actually comes true. I'm still wondering if we'll see a Panamera GTS (PTT front end, extra HP), but the idea of a factory WB C2S with the Power Pack is very intriguing.

 

400+HP carrera = nice

 

They really need to make a Cayman spyder with a GT3 engine.

 

Wouldn't a Cayman Spyder just be a Boxster? I thought spyder in auto-speak means convertible?

 

JTaylor,

Spyder is Similar to a roadster but originally with less weather protection. The term originated from a small two-seat horse cart with a folding sunshade made of four bows. With its black cloth top and exposed sides for air circulation, the top resembled a spider. Nowadays it simply means a convertible sports car.

So I assume your correct going by the definition.

 

I doubt Porsche will build anything that challenges the 911's dominance of the marque.
