I have not seen any "928" spy pictures float around on the net. Hence I would be surprised if they managed to get a new model out that no one knows about
My bet is on a 911 (special) edition...

Audi S5 cabrio in Ibis White with black leather interior.

Yes, I am wishing too ...but don't have my hopes up for a gorgeous modern 928 at the Paris auto show. Given the importance of such a model and how open Porsche has been with the latest launches drip feeding information and intentionally building excitement with web specials, pictures, etc. It would be strange if they pulled the cover of a new 928 that no one heard of.

It will be a concept car based on the Panamera, like some sort of shooting break. I know, nothing to do with that gorgeous classic 911 in terms of spirit but that's the surprise.
And what's with this 380hp-Cayman, you were talking about recently?
Concering the Panamera shooting break, I think this car could be very successful.
The major letdown of the Panamera design is its bulbous back. A shooting break could sort that out.

I was totally wrong . 380hp does sound way too much. My inside friend is more on the race car side of things.
New cayman for end of this year.

This sounds like 991 C4 and C4S Coupe/Cabriolet, Cayenne S Diesel and that ominous Panamera model study.
Not really any surprises I'm afraid. I really hope there is more...

"Another Porsche product highlight will be in the spotlight at this year’s motor show as well."
Perhaps they are talking about the 918?
I doubt it. The 918 is already official and they would use the model designation.

Man that is absolutely stunning!!! Hopefully the response in Paris will be positive so Porsche gives it the green light.
Also, I just watched Chris Harris review the new MB CLS55 AMG Shooting Brake and he loved it. I mean he LOVED it in every respect and went on to say that this is a new sub-niche as well as a true collector. If Porsche gives their shooting brake concept the green light it'll slot into the same niche but hopefully outperform the Benz

THANK YOU PORSCHE!!!... Now, do it!!!!
This is just a concept but it carries some design elements of the facelift and brings a perspective to the next generation.
No, I don't really like it but the interior is nice (not sure how functional it is though) and I like the front lights (maybe a tad to large) and the rear lights, which make the car look smaller.
