Not the Detroit show car. Probably
Porsche is expected to show off a new supercar at the Detroit motor show in January, marking a return to the US show after a four-year absence.
"We'll have something spectacular to show there," Porsche spokesman Hans-Gerd Bode told financial website Bloomberg on Friday, though Porsche is remaining tight-lipped as to the exact nature of what it will reveal. "You'll have to wait and be surprised," said Bode.
It's widely expected that the mystery Detroit star will borrow significantly from the universally praised 918 Spyder unveiled at the Geneva show earlier this year.
The smart internet money, however, is currently speculating that, unlike the hybrid 918 Spyder (which is getting its own limited production run), the Detroit show car will be a more conventionally powered car.
A 'sister' model to the 918 would make sense, as it would allow Porsche to capitalise on the warm reception and high demand it has experienced for the 918 Spyder. We'll just have to wait until January to find out for sure...
