Default Porsche to Unveil New Model Soon

On one of it's Social Networking Stream's on August 21st Porsche Announced the Unveiling of a new Model. Of course there is a photo of the car under a fabric sheet.

I know most of us hope it will be the 960 Fefi. At the moment I cannot find the photo but once someone has we can ascertain if this car isn't a current update like the GT4 Cup; for which the lines do not remind me of.

Can't remember if it's under Instagram or Twitter but one can find the photo under #PECATL!

New model? Or maybe the "purist 911" they were talking about?

Why not just the facelift 991.2? Debut next month at Frankfurt.

Does that car have the lines of a 911?

Closer to 918 but I would be double dipped in, well, you get the idea if Porsche makes more 918s especially after saying they were only going to make 918 of them. But weirder things have happened. For sure mid engined with that front-end being so low in the middle.

Now which Ferrari is Porsche trying to fight? The 458 or it's succesor? Didn't Chevy use the 430 as a measuring stick when they were developing the new ZR1? That's all well and good but I would be aiming to beat the replacement.

When I picked up my RS last week, the GM shared some futures with me. He mentioned (2) projects:

A Porsche 458 Killer - Pics support that
Smaller Sedan - Pics don't support that

Anxious to see.

How much $1MM?

They've been talking about a smaller car for awhile with 4 cylinder's!

As for the Gulf 918 it will be the one to have just like the Ford GT and the Premium on the one's with the Gulf get-up!
