Porsche Teases A New 911 Variant

Of course, the Porsche 911 is one of the world’s most recognizable and celebrated sports cars. As ubiquitous as it is, though, there is nothing else quite like it. With an unmistakable silhouette and a rear-engined layout that has lasted many generations and over 60 years, the Porsche 911 isn’t just a charming and fun sports car to drive; it’s also a powerful performance machine that represents the cutting edge of performance engineering innovation with each new generation. Currently, the Porsche 911 showcases incredible lightweight construction and aerodynamics in the form of the GT3 and GT3 RS, while the Turbo variants and the Carrera GTS feature a new approach to power with the innovative T-Hybrid system. However, a new Porsche 911 variant is coming, and with its full reveal set to take place on April 14, Porsche says that it’s a “particularly fun” variant of the sports car legend. Just over a week ahead of the reveal of the new car, Porsche has shared that the new Porsche 911 variant will be presented in the form of a film. In the film, automotive experts, who don’t know about the new model, are tasked with taking the new car on its first test: a drive through the mountain roads of Tenerife. The most populous of the Spanish Canary Islands off the coast of Morocco, Tenerife is known for its carnival in the city of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, and for Mount Teide, the highest point in Spain and the third-largest volcano in the world. With stunning vistas, gorgeous mountain roads, and incredible biodiversity, Tenerife is a stunning destination for the new Porsche 911 to show off its performance prowess and driving pleasure. In just over a week, the world will get to see the incredible abilities of the latest Porsche 911 variant. View All Porsche 911 For Sale Image Source: Porsche

Porsche Brings Together 5 Variants of the 935

In March 1976, the Porsche 935 was homologated, and 50 years have passed since then. In that time, the 935 has become one of the most important race cars in the Porsche lexicon, winning races and championships throughout its tenure. To celebrate that anniversary, as well as the 75th anniversary of Porsche Motorsport, five variants of the 935 have been gathered together for the first time for “Porsche Heritage Moments.” The project sees Timo Bernhard and Norbert Singer, a legendary racing driver and former racing engineer, in conversation guiding viewers through individual episodes about the cars, sharing memories and anecdotes along the way. The five cars are the original 1976 Porsche 935, the 935/77, the “Moby Dick” 935/78, the 935 “Baby,” and a prototype that went on to be a part of a cycling record attempt. Based on the 911 and made for Group 5 racing, the 935 was introduced in 1976, and Singer remembers having to work incredibly hard to make sure the car met the standards of the FIA. In 1977, the car was evolved to make use of a twin turbocharger, which alleviated some of the faults of utilizing a single large turbo. Designed for sprint races, the Porsche 935 “Baby,” had a 1.4-liter engine that placed in the two-liter class. However, the “Moby Dick” 935, in contrast, was built with Le Mans ambitions. It won the world championship, but only two of them were made in a short-lived career for the car. The 935/77 test car was a prototype that only saw one race. However, it fulfilled a different purpose, serving as a pace car for cyclist Jean-Claude Rude’s attempt to eclipse 240 kmh on a bicycle. With an incredible legacy shared across the five cars that gathered together, the Porsche 935 and its 50-year legacy is one of the most important chapters in Porsche’s 75 years of motorsport.

Petrolicious’ Latest Film Spotlights Owner With Two Porsche 996 GT2s

Mention “widowmaker” in any Porsche circle, and the conversation usually shifts to the 930 Turbo. But those who know the German marque inside out will quickly tell you that the list is much longer and there are plenty more that fit that narrative. Think models like the 904/8 Bergspyder, 911 GT2s (993, 997.2), and you can also throw the Carrera GT in there for good measure.  Right in the middle of that conversation sits the 911 GT2 (996), a car that Petrolicious has just brought back into focus with a new film that follows owner Kamil Dubiel, who owns not one, but two GT2s, with one being a standard GT2 and the other the much rarer GT2s equipped with the ClubSport Package (the black car) features a fire extinguisher, six-point harnesses, and racing bucket seats. It is believed that only 80 were equipped with the Clubsport package. His perspective highlights a simple truth: the 996 GT2 rewards skill. Built between 2001 and 2005, Porsche introduced the 996 GT2, which went against the brand’s own trajectory toward refinement and usability. It did away with traction control and stability systems entirely, pairing rear-wheel drive with a 3.6-liter twin-turbo Mezger powerplant (M96/70S) that produces 462 between horsepower and 476 on the facelift model.    The result was a car that relied entirely on driver input, without electronic intervention. Even its standard carbon ceramic brakes put a focus on performance, reducing unsprung weight and sharpening feedback. Overall weight savings add up to 220 pounds. Also, for years, the 996 carried the burden of being an outlier. It introduced water cooling and controversial fried-egg headlights that divided enthusiasts, often leaving it overlooked in the shadow of earlier and later 911s. That perception is now shifting, as collectors begin to recognize the significance of the generation, especially its most extreme variants.  The GT2 stands at the sharpest end of that spectrum, representing the rawest expression of Porsche’s engineering during that era. With fewer than 1,300 examples produced worldwide (963 pre-facelift), including a small number of aforementioned Clubsport variants like the black example seen here with race-inspired equipment, the 996 GT2 carries both rarity and significance.

How Porsche’s Latest Patent Could Preserve the Manual Experience

At a time when the manual transmission is quietly fading from modern cars (fewer than 30 models in the U.S. can be bought new with a manual in 2026), Porsche has taken an unexpected step. A recently published patent suggests the company is not ready to abandon the gear lever just yet.  The patent filed with the German Patent and Trademark Office on August 30, 2024, and published on March 5, 2026, outlines a shift-by-wire system. In this system, there is no mechanical linkage between the lever and the transmission. Instead, sensors interpret movement across multiple axes, where forward and backward inputs determine gear selection, while lateral movement defines gate positioning, recreating the structure of a manual gearbox. Essentially, you have a single gear selector with two operating modes, where in one, it behaves like a conventional automatic, while in the other, it replicates a traditional H-pattern manual, complete with tactile feedback through the driver. Within Automotive, we have seen such systems being implemented with steer-by-wire systems, where the steering wheel no longer relies on a direct mechanical connection to the front wheels. The Tesla Cybertruck has such a system.  The same principle has also existed in aviation for decades through fly-by-wire systems, where pilots do not directly control vital surfaces through cables in many modern aircraft. Instead, their inputs are processed by computers and software that then command the aircraft’s systems with precision. But coming back to Porsche, why preserve the manual at all? Porsche’s PDK delivers faster shifts, improved efficiency, and simplifies homologation. Meanwhile, each manual variant requires separate testing cycles, validation, and certification, and for low-volume configurations, the economics no longer make sense. Having said that, the absence of a manual transforms the experience, especially for a performance car. In a car like the 911 or 718, the act of selecting and going through the gears yourself adds to the fun factor.  The spacing between gates, the resistance through the lever, even the slight notchiness when cold all contribute to the experience. Besides this, if we look at the current collector car market, record-setting modern exotics from the past 30 years routinely feature a stick and three pedals. Even historic models going all the way back to the 917 have famously featured a wooden gear lever for the manual transmission. Engineers are now attempting to replicate that interaction without a physical linkage. Other manufacturers are exploring similar solutions to retain the engagement factor, including Toyota, which has been developing a manual-style interface for electric vehicles, aiming to simulate clutch engagement and gear changes despite the absence of a traditional gearbox.  Hyundai has already introduced its simulated gear shifts in the Ioniq 5 N, where programmed “gear shifts” and staged power delivery recreate the sensation of a multi-gear transmission. While there is no confirmation about when this system will reach production, even the intent in itself should be promising for enthusiasts who seek driver engagement from Porsche's future models.

Porsche 963 to Run Historic Mobil 1 911 GT1-Inspired Livery at 12 Hours of Sebring

Porsche has just unveiled a striking new Mobil 1 livery for both its 963 prototypes ahead of the 12 Hours of Sebring, marking 30 years of technical collaboration with ExxonMobil.  Compared to the traditional red and black colors, the Sebring livery adopts a predominantly white base, accented by bold blue and red striping inspired by the 1996 Porsche 911 GT1. It is cleaner, more retro in tone, and deliberately tied to a defining moment when Porsche and Mobil 1 first aligned on both racing and road car development. <- Gallery -> “The close and highly trusted partnership between Porsche and Mobil 1 has produced countless unforgettable moments and lasting innovations.” - Thomas Laudenbach, Vice President, Porsche Motorsport. With Porsche having withdrawn its factory effort from the FIA World Endurance Championship after the 2025 season, historic venues like Sebring on the IMSA race calendar now carry greater importance and weight within Porsche’s global motorsport program. The 3.74-mile circuit, built on a former military airfield in Central Florida, remains one of the most punishing venues in endurance racing. Around 30 percent of the surface consists of concrete slabs, creating sustained vibration and stress across the gruelling 12-hour race. It is a track that rewards durability as much as outright speed. Last season, Porsche Penske Motorsport secured both the IMSA GTP manufacturer and team championships, supported by victories at Daytona and Sebring. A one-two finish here confirmed the 963’s ability to combine pace with consistency. “In the tightly contested IMSA series, the smallest details make the difference,” - Urs Kuratle, Director Factory Motorsport LMDh. Porsche enters as the benchmark. The #7 car, driven by Felipe Nasr, Julien Andlauer, and Laurin Heinrich, leads the championship after victory at Daytona in January this year. The sister #6 entry sits fourth, while Porsche leads the manufacturers’ standings. Beyond GTP, Porsche fields multiple 911 GT3 R entries across GTD Pro and GTD, alongside seven 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport cars in the Michelin Pilot Challenge. The new 992.2-based 911 Cup car also debuts in North America this week. With 19 overall Sebring victories, Porsche holds the event’s benchmark. This weekend, the 963 carries that legacy forward at a moment when the German marque’s endurance future is being reshaped around North America. View All Porsches For Sale Images: Porsche Motorsports
