In the weird world of Porsche model naming, I am trying to figure out what follows the 992.....

Any bets?

I wonder why they didn’t use 994 and 995 rather than 996 and 997 ?!

It ends with the 992.2 in 2026 then all 911s will be electric and known by E numbers. Eg. E28, E30, E46. Oh wait.... think soneone else already doing that!
