Porsche’s plan to completely update all models across its range was recently highlighted. Over the next five years, we can expect to see new editions and facelifts for all Porsche models.
Following on the heels of this year’s launch of the completely new 911 edition, next year will see us able to get behind the wheel of the 2013 Boxster. In the same year, new Caymans will start to roll out of the showroom floor. Both of these models boast interior and exterior restyling for improved visual appeal. They will offer the same engine and gearbox options and start to be available from £35,000.
For new fans of Porsche, or converts to the luxury SUV niche, there will also be a face-lifted Panamera next year. This should mark a radical improvement in the looks of the four-door supercar. A long wheelbase model will be produced, primarily for foreign markets such as China. A Cabriolet version will also be produced, for more traditional markets which adore a soft-top Porsche like Europe and America. It is envisaged that this radical redevelopment should keep fans satisfied for some time to come. The longevity brought about by these design options will certainly give most people something to covet for a while.
In 2014 a 911 Targa will become available. Other 911 variants will also be produced, but exact dates have yet to be released. These include a light-weight 911 Clubsport, Turbo, Turbo S, GT2, and GT3 and should follow the precedent set by the 997 generation.
2016 should give us a new four-door coupe ‘sportsback’ Cayenne.
In 2017, current development could yield models such as the Pajun, a sporty saloon car which may be the smaller equivalent of a Panamera, the 918 Spyder, and the Audi Q5-based Macan small two-door 4×4 crossover.
For now we can look forward to the imminent arrival of all the 911 variations, with the Carrera 4, 4S, Cabriolet 4, and 4S.
