New fun 911 announcement on 14/4 - Page 2 - 911/Carrera GT - PistonHeads UK

Anyone heard any whispers as to what that might be? https://newsroom.porsche.com/en/2026/products/pors...

Roadster. Lightweight open topped car.

Isn’t there meant to be a GT3 Convertible or Roadster on the way?

I was speaking to a sales guy from Porsche Bristol last night and he said it is going to be the cabriolet version of the Porsche ST.

Leaked photo's.

I am sure whatever it is it will be fantastic but there was a time when one use to get excited about new launches, a car you could buy or a car you could aspire to buying but that ended a long time ago. Porsche ownership apart from the initial out lay to buy use to be relatively cheap ie servicing ( use to be no more than VW/Audi ) now £1k just to change the oil lol I remember seeing exclusive models in the wild as they were driven ie back in 2000 I saw my first 996.1 GT3 out in the wild even in 2011 an RS4.0 which were very low numbers compared to today’s specials, but now you rarely see the specials as all hidden in garages only to come out for cars and coffee. Such a shame

So there’s gonna be a Targa too? From Porsche UK website tonight…

So it’s another speedster then, or am I being unkind. I actually spotted a 3.2 speedster yesterday. Personally I thought that it looked ugly compared to the cab and of course the coupe, which in my opinion is the best looker. Of course, speedsters are particularly collectible though.

neilf said: So there s gonna be a Targa too? From Porsche UK website tonight I think those are the classic 911 SC and SC Targa rather than soon to be launched GT car. That list has a few of classic models on it though it seems random as by no means all are on there. Further down there’s the RS America (early 90’s US only look a like of the 964 RS), 911 Clubsport from the 80’s and from right at the bottoms three 912 models which date back to the 60’s.

GT3 S/C it is then…

What is is for?... I am a longterm Porsche buyer including 3RS, and I get those as basically track cars. OTOH I never understood high-performance convertibles. I once drove a 911 convertible out in the empty Arizona desert on deserted roads and let it rip many years ago. The noise and wind and very high speed was not at all comfortable and that was at only 100 MPH or so. I cannot imagine what much higher speeds would be like. So, not really a track car and difficult for me to understand why the performance would be needed.

GT cars, so they bring out another GT car that probably no one wanted, but it's a GT car so it will sell.

I am far from alone with this opinion also. Edited by APOLO1 on Tuesday 14th April 14:48

The only driving it will see is from one garage to the next as it joins the flipper merry go round or cruising to a cars and coffee meet lol. Love it but if I was buying a GT3 engined convertible it would have to be the SpyderRS, 911s imo should be coupes it’s just a shame the SRS didn’t come with a stick

I might need some migraine tablets to get over those seats

Only Porsche could charge an additional £1700 for Guards Red on a £200k car

I much prefer the SRS over this. Although would prefer the SRS had an automated folding roof like this car.

Could that video be any more cringe. What's all the pretending to be surprised rubbish about. There's film crews,sound teams and blooming drones on a closed road....so cringe

That's definitely going to need PPF, especially on the sides.

I’ve never wanted a cabriolet of any sort up until now, but this is probably the one car that could change my mind: - I never tracked my previous (991.1) GT3, so the fact that this car is slightly less capable on track is irrelevant for me - manual gearbox - roof down to enjoy the engine - perfect for weekends away and Sunday drives - bucket seats in cohiba leather to lift the interior and align with the ST All irrelevant as I won’t be offered one and probably can’t afford one at the moment anyway, with all the house developments I’m doing!

Nice that the buckets have a choice of colours

Djit said: Nice that the buckets have a choice of colours I wonder if that option will make its way onto the normal GT3 and touring.

This will do me: https://porsche-code.com/PVRFYLX0 That’s said, I’d still have the Coupe / Touring at £42k in my back pocket! Edited by Sport_Turismo_GTS on Tuesday 14th April 20:23

MDL111 said: GT4P said: Super Sonic said: Roadster. Lightweight open topped car. Lightweight at 1500kg dry DIN weight 90kg heavier than a SRS which would be even lighter if given a manual box

Can’t afford the car, I can probably manage a door handle key ring.

I must be getting old but despite being a GT3 fanboy, this leaves me cold. An open top GT3 needs to be a Speedster for me

I am far from alone with this opinion also. Totally agree. Hope to be offered one of the rare ones. Continuation of the 992.2 Touring. Always wanted an SRS but couldn’t get my head fully around. So wanted a Speedster too! Edited by APOLO1 on Tuesday 14th April 14:48
