Porsche is gearing up to unveil the latest 911 GT car on October 18 through a livestream event. The company recently shared a teaser photo of the new 992.2-generation model, giving us a glimpse of a car with a striking rear wing in a shadowy side profile.
This upcoming debut will feature two variants, hinting at the arrival of the new GT3 and GT3 Touring models. Earlier this year, Porsche introduced the 992.2-generation 911 with the Carrera base model and the GTS featuring the new T-Hybrid powertrain. However, more 992.2 cars are on the horizon, with the first GT model set to be revealed at 12:30 p.m. ET on Friday.
The teaser photo reveals key details such as the swan-neck design of the rear wing, reminiscent of the 991.1-gen GT3, along with a visible roll bar and a helmet-wearing driver, indicating the car’s track-focused nature. Porsche’s statement accompanying the photo mentioned the introduction of two variants, possibly the GT3 and GT3 Touring models.
The event will be led by Andreas Preuninger, director of the GT model line, alongside brand ambassadors Walter Röhrl and Jörg Bergmeister. Viewers can catch the livestream on Porsche’s YouTube channel to witness the unveiling of a car promising “more individuality and feature innovative details.”
As we eagerly await the reveal on Friday, Eric Stafford’s passion for automobiles shines through his work as a writer for Car and Driver. His journey from a childhood dream of amassing a car collection akin to Jay Leno’s to becoming an automotive journalist reflects his deep-rooted love for cars. With a journalism degree and experience at a daily newspaper, Stafford’s dedication to the automotive world has led him to his current role at Car and Driver.
In his garage, Stafford houses a 2010 Acura RDX, a manual ’97 Chevy Camaro Z/28, and a ’90 Honda CRX Si, showcasing his diverse automotive interests. His expertise and enthusiasm for cars will undoubtedly translate into engaging coverage of Porsche’s upcoming GT model debut, providing readers with insightful commentary and analysis. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly-anticipated event.
