I wonder whether this endeavour will actually succeed. Former VAG CEO Matthias Müller has abandoned the operation. Not necessarily a good sign.

So it's kind of like a Touring version of the Turbo....

Digging the wheels.

... And priced like a 911R.

I always wished they would offer Turbo with manual, so maybe this bodes a manual version for .2 Turbo like how 911R predicated the touring.

Will this relegate the GT3 Touring Package to runner-up on "My Favourite 992 List" ?

Pretty much. No one is going to buy this car to daily. It will be like a pokemon card for the very wealthy.

Used 992 GT3 are currently listed for 40-50% over list price. Expect the Sport Classic to resell for collectors level money.

Speaking of "What's Next ?"...

Any news on Porsches' (potentially ICE Panamera-replacing) "Landjet" entry ? Now that Audi has recently presented its' Grand Sphere, I would think that Porsche (and Bentley) would soon follow with their own derivative concepts.

Just yesterday I saw spy pics of a second refresh for the Panny expected for 2022.

So far, the strategy with the Panamera seems to be the same as with the Macan. Which leads me to believe there won't be another ICE Panamera.

I should have articulated it more clearly: I meant the BEV entry that would replace/retire the ICE Panameras.

The Taycan stole the show and the Panny has lost most of its glitter. These two cars IMO should be combined and have one successor.

At least theoretically, that very well may be the plan come 2026-27-ish.

I believe there is room for a more upmarket EV above the Taycan. I think Porsche said the same a while ago. A more luxury alternative so to say.

Could the Panny be given a 2nd facelift for another 3 years of life before being discontinued?

A Bentley BEV?

But who will buy it? The facelift won't bring it on the level of the new S class or the upcoming 7er, so most of the die hard ICE customers are already lost.

A Bentley BEV?

I seem to recall having read that the Bentley "Landjet" BEV derivative will be a large elevated ride-height, shooting brake similar, sports activity vehicle. It appears that original plans regarding a J1 (Taycan/eTron GT)-based 4 door sedoupe have long been scuttled.

People who like to drive rather than be driven??

This makes a lot more sense than that stupid car Mercedes is trying too build, it's a damn shame Porsche didn't look at making this into a production car.
