1. 4th model comes around 2008. Final decision will be taken around 2003. The new 4th model will be positioned against the Ferrari Maranello and similar cars, price tag beeing substantially higher than on the 911 and production numbers substantially lower.
2. The new Cayenne 4.5 l engine is good for at least 5.4 l and easily 550 HP. Porsche plans to use this engine on the 4th model.
3. Porsche plans a complete Cayenne lineup like Pickups and other variants.
4. The 911 will not get a V8 engine. Period.
5. An all new 911 (type 997) might be presented in autumn 2003 (!), much earlier than expected. Engines will be the same as on the 996 facelift, a 3.8 l engine with 333 HP might be offered later on. If 996 sales stay high, the introduction of the 997 could be delayed by one year.
The new 997 will look almost like the 996 but with different, more classic front lamps. Interior will be changed completely, a much more classic speedo look.
An all new 911 Turbo comes up around 8 months later.
Power is rumored to be at least 460 HP.
6. The new GT3 comes up around spring 2003. Power will be 380 HP, displacement still 3.6 l. This GT3 is available for the US market too.
7. Porsche wants to use an Audi V8 bi-turbo charged DIESEL engine on the Cayenne. Estimate power: around 300 HP.
It is not known if Porsche will offer this engine for the US market.
8. The all new Boxster shows up for MJ 2005 (summer 2004). Engines stay almost the same, only a slight power increase. The rumored Boxster Turbo or RS have been abandoned because of low profit. New: a Boxster Coupe with fixed roof.
