I frankly don’t care, by the time we get the 994 full EV thing I will have moved on from this hobby. They can build it but I won’t buy it. It’s ICE or nothing for me.
Let’s enjoy this wonderful time we are living in where there is still an abundance of ICE sports cars and sedans of so many types

If you somehow missed the Vision 74, it's going to production, purportedly in 2026.

Given that all has been revealed about the 992.2, I figured that it's time to get the speculation going on what the 994 will bring. These are my predictions for the next generation of the 911.
- Double-wishbone front suspension for all 911 trims.
- New platform architecture that is designed to support hybrid, and pure EV drivetrains.
- To offset the weight of those powertrains, the new platform will be substantially lighter -- the hybrid will weigh less than the 992, EV version will come in at well under 4000 pounds.
- Hybrid version will be capable of EV only mode for short distances/city driving. The hybrid 911 becomes a PHEV with a bigger battery.
- No back seats for the 994. The space will be used for batteries.
- The pure EV version won't be making an appearance until the 994.2 -- just in time for the 2035 target set by many countries.
- EV 911s will have an evolution of the Porsche Sport Sound from the Taycan. Also, don't be surprised if Porsche includes things like fake gears, etc like the Hyundai Ioniq 5N -- IMHO, that car will be the most influential EV sports car of all time.
- The digital dash will grow to be the full width of the dash to be a flat dash throwback to the old cars. The 911 gets a passenger display in the process.
- GT cars will go hybrid for the 994 and the EV GT3 will be too quick for enthusiasts to ignore.
- If a 3 pedal "manual transmission" is available, it will be simulated, ie not physically connected to the transmission.

There will be an auto-pilot mode. For those times when you can't be bothered to fake shift your fake transmission to hear fake sounds.

It’ll have bike pedals to help with fuel economy.
“Enthusiasts” will complain there isn’t a third bike pedal.

Koenigsegg does a simulated manual transmission...

The EV Ioniq 5N simulates a DCT...

I think that it's quite likely that this is where Porsche is going as well.

No matter how fast an EV 911 (or GT3) is, I’m never going to be interested.

I'm not convinced that 80% of the automotive press today can even drive a manual. And don't get me started on the elementary level drivel they call editorial content...
