There are several models which are set to blast in the next year...First off , there will be a cab version of both basic and S-version..these are supposed to be unveiled in Detroit... a few months later will appear a new GT3 which is said to get just under 400hp...not much but considering the performance of the regular S-version there is no wonder that this GT3 is anticipated to overshadow the 996 turbo performance wise - even in a straight line.
The
997 turbo might come later that year having 460hp while its S-version will have full 500hp as the latest info suggests...another possibility is that there will a regular turbo with 480hp only...

But the biggest single factor in the Turbo’s increased performance is a new four-wheel-drive system, which incorporates electronic differentials that allow the drive to be apportioned independently to the wheel with the most grip. Further developments planned are a reworked six-speed manual gearbox with a shorter shift action, PASM (Porsche Active Suspension Management) with continuously variable damping, 19-inch wheels and tyres and PCCB (Porsche Ceramic Carbon Brakes).The new car will also adopt an optional dual-clutch gearbox.
