Porsche 911 Speedster Rumored To Be "Exactly" Like Concept Car

That means a center-mounted fuel cap and leather straps for the hood.

Just last month, Porsche showed off the 911 Speedster Concept, which looked fairly close to production aside from a few small details. Porsche hasn't officially confirmed that the Speedster would enter production, but we spotted a test mule on the Nurburgring, pretty much confirming that the Speedster will reach production. We are still waiting from an official announcement from Porsche, but sources close to the project have just leaked some details on the Spike's Car Radio podcast.

The podcast is hosted by Spike Feresten, a writer, comedian, and Porsche enthusiast. Feresten is best known for his work on Seinfeld, having written the famous 'Soup Nazi' episode. He is also good friends with Jerry Seinfeld, one of the world's greatest Porsche collectors. Feresten didn't say who his anonymous source was, but it could be Seinfeld, who claims he influenced Porsche to build the 911 R. In any case, we trust that Feresten may know a thing or two about the upcoming Speedster. For starters, Feresten said on his show that the car would be "exactly" like the concept.

This means those crazy side mirrors and centrally mounted fuel cap will remain on the production car. We find this hard to believe, but we certainly wouldn't object to it. More importantly, Feresten confirmed that Porsche will build 1,948 examples of the Speedster, to celebrate the company's 70th anniversary. Porsche only built 356 examples of the previous 997 Speedster, so perhaps this new car will be slightly more attainable.

Rumored Porsche Models Include Cayenne Coupe And 928 Revival

If the rumors are true, when can we expect these new models?

Automotive rumors don't always pan out, but it is still fun to speculate on what new models will be coming from certain manufacturers. Porsche has been unveiling new versions of cars left and right, with the new Cayenne E-Hybrid its latest revelation. But when it comes to completely new models, the company doesn't like to stray far from its core offerings. It's hard to predict what a company like Porsche will release in the coming years, but German site Autobild has attempted to predict what the German automaker will release up until 2022.

The first model on the docket is a coupe-like version of the Cayenne SUV. Porsche would be smart to compete in the lucrative SUV Coupe segment, which includes the BMW X6 and Mercedes GLE Coupe. This new model will likely share drivetrains with the standard Cayenne, but come with a more coupe-like design and a higher price tag. We could see the Cayenne coupe this year in 2018 at the Paris Motor Show. Porsche will likely reveal a facelifted version of the Macan in 2018 as well as the highly anticipated 718 GT4, which is rumored to borrow the 4.0-liter flat-six engine from the 911 GT3.

One of the most supprising rumors is a revival of the 928 name. A new 928 would be based on the Panamera platform, of course with two doors instead of four. The 992 generation 911 should debut sometime in 2019, along with the Mission E. Finally, an electric version of the Macan is rumored by 2022 when it will arrive with three outputs: 215 horsepower, 322 hp, and 430 hp. Of these rumors, the prospect of a new 928 makes us the most giddy. Which rumored Porsche model are you most excited for?
