So will the 911 Turbo be a twin turbo?

I wouldn't care if this didn't make used 911s even more overpriced in the future. I love me some natural aspiration, but unfortunately most of the porschephiles do too.

I think this will make the incomprehensible 911 range even more incomprehensible.

I'm okay with it because it means I will some day be able to get a turbocharged 991 Targa.

Jeremy : I get confused with 911s . I don't know where they all go. Is that a turbo? Richard : No, that's not. That is normally aspirated. Jeremy : So wait a minute, the GT2 's a turbo... Richard : Yes. Jeremy : ... and the Turbo 's a turbo, obviously... Richard : Yes. Jeremy : Why is a GT2 not a Turbo if it is a turbo? Richard : But it is a turbo. Jeremy : Yes, why is it called a GT2 and not a Turbo? Richard : Because the Turbo's called the Turbo. You couldn't have a - Jeremy : You see? Does anybody here understand the 911 range? [silence] No? They're bored, aren't they. Audience : Yes.
Jeremy : They've been making the same car for a hundred and twenty-thirteen years, and all they think to do is, "Well, we'll call that one a GT3 and that one a GT2, have a Turbo, the GT2, have a GT1, a 959, put the engine in the back." God, it must be fun going into a Porsche dealership, "Can I have a 911?" Be like ordering breakfast in America. [face in hands] "I just want eggs!"
For posterity's sake...

I knew this two weeks ago. Jalopnik is late as fuck on this stuff. I could have posted this last week and no one would have cared; Jalopnik posts it and everyone turns to K-Roll.

Too late.
This is the end of Porsche.
Porsche is abandoning enthusiasts*
*enthusiasts who are too poor to buy a fucking Porsche and instead rely on people with actual money to buy the car in the hopes that they can own one used in 5-10 years at which point they'll start saying "HOLY SHIT PORSCHE IS AMAZING THEY CARE SO MUCH ABOUT ENTHUSIASTS"

As long as the cars threaten to kill the unworthy with an uncontrollable surge of boost if they stab the gas, I'm okay with this.
