718 Collection

The 718 will have the convertible only Boxster-Line and the coupe only Cayman-Line. The 718 Collection will also include two branches, the manual only GT-Series (GT, GTS, GT-RS) and the PDK only Pro-Series (Pro, S, RS).

The separation of manual and PDK give owners a badge that let’s everyone know which transmission they chose. The GT-Series will have a more aggressive tuning while the Pro-Series will be slightly faster with a more comfort focused setup. Only 2-seaters and Turbo 4-cylinders only.

Boxster/Cayman GT (310hp)- $54,100
Boxster/Cayman Pro (310hp) - $57,400
B/C GTS (350hp) - $66,100
B/C S (350hp) - $69,400
B/C GT-RS (390hp) - $78,100
B/C RS (390hp) -$81,400
Boxster Spyder (410hp) - $87,100
Cayman GT4 (420hp) - $90,400

No AWD or Hybrid options available.

911 Collection

The next 911 will be slightly longer in order to increase usability of rear seats, just a few inches but still a longer vehicle to further separate it from the 718 Collection in terms of usability. The 911 will have two branches, the Carrera-Series and the GT-Series.

The Carrera-Series will go standard AWD and PDK while the GT-Series will be RWD only and manual only up until the GT3. The GT-Series will have the more aggressive suspension setup while the Carrera-Series will be quicker but with a more comfort focused setup. The Turbo models will receive hybrid motors and be called the Turbo-H. This way the Turbo name continues on, but since all 911s are turbos now, it makes sense that the batteries are the new bump up in performance. Turbo 6-cylinders only.

Carrera Series : Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera RS, Turbo-H, Turbo-H S,
Turbo-H RS
GT Series : GT, GTS, GT-RS, GT3, GT3-RS

GT (400hp) - $91,400 (Cabrio optional)
Carrera (420hp) - $94,600 (Cabrio & Targa optional)
GTS (440hp) - $105,400 (Cabrio optional)
Carrera S (460hp) - $108,600 (Cabrio &Targa optional)
GT-RS (480hp) - $121,400 (Coupe Only)
Carrera RS (500hp) - $124,600 (Cabrio & Targa optional)
GT3 (520hp) - $141,400 (Coupe only, PDK optional)
Turbo-H (560hp) - $152,600 (Cabrio optional)
GT3-RS (560hp) - $165,400 (Coupe only, PDK only)
Turbo-H S (600hp) - $177,600 (Cabrio optional)
Turbo-H RS (640hp) - $194,600 (Powered Spyder roof optional, loses rear seats for new top and Turbo V8)

Plus $12,000 for Cabriolet or Targa ($20,000 for Spyder)

Base prices are actually slightly cheaper than current models in order to leave even more room for customization.

The 911 Turbo-H RS will pretty much be a discount version of the 918 Spyder. This allows the next Porsche halo car to be more of a successor to the Carrera GT rather than the 918 Spyder.

Other Collections

The Macan-Collection, Cayenne-Collection, and Panamera-Collection will have the following trim set up:

Pro, S, RS, Turbo-H, and Turbo-H S

Standard AWD on all models, PDK only. Efficiency focused hybrid (rather than performance focused hybrid like the Turbo-H models) will be available as “Pro E-Hybrid and S E-Hybrid.”

The all electric Mission E-Collection will have the following levels:

Pro, S, and RS

Standard AWD and Auto only.

The Pro badge is a bit generic, so for the 718, replace Pro with A, so now it’s 718A Boxster and 718A Cayman, as it calls back the 550A Spyder.

Also, the GT-RS is stretching the badge’s value a bit, so only use R. Now you have the 718R Cayman and 718R Boxster.

Here’s how the 718 should go, then:

718 Cayman/718 Boxster

718A Cayman/718A Boxster

718 Cayman GTS/718 Boxster GTS

718S Cayman/718S Boxster

718R Cayman/718R Boxster

Boxster Spyder

Cayman GT4.

Now, for the 911. Again, do not use GT-RS or RS for the Carrera model, just R. Think of the older 911 designations (911T, 911R). The Turbo does not need an RS version, because the GT2 will do the RS-ing for it.

For the Carrera line:

911 Carrera (base/fleet)

911 Carrera T (911T on the badge)

911 Carrera S (911R on the badge)

911 Turbo

911 Turbo S

911 Turbo R Spyder

Now the GT line should be very simple. GTS is full-spec Carrera R with less weight and Targa/Cabrio optional, GT3 is N/A and manual-optional, GT2 is GT3-fied Turbo S. The 911 Carrera GT shouldn’t be there, because it’d be confused with the actual Carrera GT.

911 Carrera R (911R on the badge)

911 Carrera GTS

911 GT3

911 GT3 RS

911 GT2

911 GT2 RS

911 GT2 RS 4.4 (1000-model limited run; 727 hp, 727 lb-ft, wing fresh off the GT3-R customer racer, manually-actuated PDK, exclusive race program a la Ferrari’s XX programme).

Overall:

911 Carrera

911 Carrera T
