Default Next Porsche Hypercar?

The 918 was announced in 2010. The industry seems to make a hypercar about once a decade.

Any rumblings regarding Porsche’s next hypercar?

My money is on that one. Otherwise, we have no rumors or grumblings about anything whatsoever and we’re getting close to them needing to come up with something to compete with Ferrari and others with.

Cleaning lady says it's based on the 918 platform.

That, and it'll have four wheels and a porsche crest.

Okay the second comment is just a swipe. First one left me wanting more. Hope I'm proven wrong.

I hope it isn't fully electric. They have the Taycan Turbo for that. A further optimized hybrid would be the best of both worlds

I agree, Porsche could introduce a new coupe in the vein of the rumored 960 mid engine supercar as an electric car (basically a shortened Taycan with less weight, more performance and a more aggressive design) or better yet a new 928 as the Taycan Coupe.

I doubt they would, I think the speculation is correct and the 918 successor would be electric, as seen with previous halo models (918, Carrera GT, 959) Porsche likes to demonstrate it’s fully potential in these cars.

The person taking this picture was polite, energetic and excited to share a picture with his father. I gave him a few blips of throttle before I went on my way. May you be his father? Small world.

Yes Sir!!
I must say, it's always reassuring to hear that your kid is paying attention to what you're trying to teach them...
As a parent I usually get the indifferent "Grunt" from him, lol...
He was very excited to share the photo and video with me as he knows a CGT is my dream car!!
One day....

It's done - go back and grab the biggest displacement available with sounds of glory.
Geek Squad in some far away place will update the car at night and sell the data before coffee.
IMO only good thing about an electric sports car is laughing when some kid yells to the owner rev it.
