It will be interesting to see how Porsche updates the design and technology of the 911 2.5 S/T for modern times while maintaining its distinctive look and feel.
The Heritage Design series is about blending the best of Porsche’s past with its present, so we can expect the new model to be a thrilling combination of old-school style and modern performance.
It’s worth noting that while the sighting of a prototype is exciting, Porsche has not officially confirmed the development of this model. So we’ll have to wait and see if and when Porsche announces it.
What will it get?
Based on the information, several distinctive features on the prototype in the spy shots differentiate it from other Porsche 911 models. The double-bubble roof and front fender vent design are unique touches that haven’t been seen on other 911 models, and the minor lip spoiler and roundel on the engine cover suggest this may be a unique edition model.
It’s also interesting to note that Porsche had used the double-bubble roof feature before on the 911 Sport Classic, a limited edition model highly sought-after by collectors. This indicates the new prototype is also intended to be a limited edition model or a particular variant of the 911.
Without more information, it’s difficult to say precisely what the new model will be, but based on the spy shots and the unique design elements have been spotted, it’s clear that Porsche is working on something special for its iconic 911 model.
Inspiration
The Porsche 911 S/T is a track-focused model inspired by the original 2.5 S/T from 1971. The modern 911 S/T is based on the 911 GT3 Touring, known for its lightweight construction and performance-focused engineering.
The 911 S/T will likely keep the GT3 Touring’s 4.0-litre flat-6 engine with its 502-horsepower rating, as Porsche has not indicated any plans for significant mechanical modifications beyond the GT3 Touring’s design. However, Porsche may adjust the 911 S/T’s chassis, suspension, and other components to enhance its track-focused performance.
6 or 7 Speed
Porsche 911 GT3 Touring. The car will have a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission. Only the manual option will be available for the 911 S/T to maintain its retro positioning.
Porsche will launch this new car on an important date for the brand as it marks the 75th anniversary of registering the first Porsche sports car model. It will be interesting to see what other features and specs the new 911 GT3 Touring will offer.
