I have not made any market research on 911 customers, but I am sure Porsche has, and that is the 991 GT3 has no manual is a result of that research. Thus most should be buying the 911 for its badge, rather than for its driving characteristics. Too bad, because I'm sure Porsche would like to "kill" it.




Were I head of Porsche, I'd do something like this:

550: Entry level sportscar at Porsche powered by Flat4 Turbo, instead of the current 981.
911: Called "911" but is basically a Cayman/Boxster but with power/engines of 911, namely high-output Flat6 Turbo and NA. Of course have all the version, 4WD, Targa etc...
928: Mid-front engine GT with 2+2/4 seats, more practical, instead of the current GTish 991.
959: Mid-rear supercar with Flat8 Turbo to go against F12 and such.


Porsche sports cars would have numerical nomenclature, and Porsche "utility/luxury" cars would have names as nomenclature.
