The new 911 Carrera S and 4S offer a seven-speed manual. Some believe that the new Turbo's 590 pound-feet necessitate a stouter gearbox, and think this could fit the six-speeder from the GT3. However, the now-departed GT3 produced only 339 lb-ft, while the new 911 Carrera 4S makes 390 lb-ft. Porsche still has a standard 911 Turbo to reveal, one that dials down the gumption from the Turbo S' 3.8-liter flat-six with 641 horsepower and would get all the bits to play nice. This could be a special take on the lower-output Turbo.
Two more obvious assumptions are that we're either dealing with a new Sport Classic or a new Aerokit. Porsche debuted a 911 Sport Classic for the 997-series 911 in 2010, a limited edition of 250 units just for Europe that channeled the 1973 911 Carrera 2.7 RS. A Turbo-based Sport Classic would be a serious departure, though; neither the original 2.7 RS nor the 2010 Sport Classic were turbocharged. Porsche did create a Sport Design Ducktail Spoiler and a Sport Design Aerokit Package for the 991-series Carrera models that included a new lip for the front fascia and a ducktail spoiler, but they didn't fit the Turbo. For now, all we can do is wait, and enjoy the sound of what's coming.
