Depends on specs I suppose. Will it be a GT, a race car, heavy pig?

It will probably share a platform with the next R8 and Gallardo. Regardless, it will be interesting to see how the three corporate cousins are positioned.

If they make an RS version of some sort though, maybe not.

"Porsche is developing a new mid-engined supercar slap bang in Ferrari 458 Italia territory. Don't confuse this with the range-topping Porsche - the new Porsche 960 supercar will sit below the new 918 hybrid hypercar but above the maximum-attack 911s at launch in 2015..."

They all look really different... The first looks like a Cayman and a F12 had a baby, the second looks like papa Cayman, and the last looks like a non-hybrid 918 - BTW, I love the idea of a non-hybrid 918

Recently Porsche executives have spoken on developing a car to compete with the 458. They said, "No need; the 991TT and TTS compete with the 458 now."
Makes sense given VW also has Lambo and Audi in its stable.

I guess if Porsche is trying to keep the 991 as the quicker platform, that's fine by me.
Why would one want a two-seater that's slower than 911 and costs 50% more?
Oh the genius of marketing.
