Porsche has indicated the potential return of its GT2 RS, the most powerful variant in its 911 lineup, according to details in the company's latest financial report. The German automaker also disclosed plans for a new gasoline-powered SUV that could launch before 2030.
The financial documentation included references to the continued development of the 911 series, specifically mentioning "highly emotive derivatives" and "high-yield and exciting limited-edition models." Porsche also described an upcoming flagship vehicle that will "raise the bar even further in the sports car segment" – language that points toward the revival of the GT2 or GT2 RS nameplate. The previous GT2 RS was part of the 991.2 generation and produced 700 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque from its twin-turbocharged flat-six engine.
Should the GT2 RS return to production, industry analysts expect it to maintain its traditional characteristics: rear-wheel drive based on the 911 Turbo platform, enhanced aerodynamics, and track-focused performance capabilities. While no specific timeline has been confirmed, the specialized model could arrive as soon as 2026 or 2027.
Separately, Porsche confirmed it is developing a completely new SUV model featuring both conventional combustion and hybrid powertrain options. This approach differs from that taken with the Macan, which is transitioning to an all-electric platform that will eventually replace the gas-powered version. The new SUV will reportedly align with Porsche's performance-oriented philosophy while leveraging components from existing models, with a possible market introduction in the latter part of the decade.
