Wonder what it will be.

A re-imagining of the 968 would be nice

Exactly - this has been talked about for months (years?), so not sure why this is suddenly news (from Jalopnik, I mean)?

Plenty of pics on line of artists's impressions etc.

Plenty of details / general supposition in Car+ section.

992 released in 2018, 960 in 2019.
Competes with 488 etc i.e. above the Turbo S.
Basic chassis architecture shared from within VW group. All wheel drive an option to exploit power. Does that mean R8 / Hurracan perhaps? 2wd around 1400kg, 4wd around 1500kg.
All wheel steering not an option.
Engine- quad turbo 3.9 litre flat 8 - 650 bhp. 0-100 kph in 2.5 seconds.
Variable compression ratio - yes really. Achieved by adjusting the con rod length.
