Once the standard Carrera and Carrera S models arrive at the end of this year, we're expected to see the 911 Cabriolet next featuring a stylish soft-top. The end of 2012 should bring Porsche's next generation Carrera 4, bringing four-wheel-drive to the Carrera and Carrera S models. It's believed that the C2 and C4 will feature a 3.4L engine with 350-bhp and 280 lb-ft of torque, while the C2S and C4S will pack 400-bhp and 325 lb-ft of torque from a 3.8L.
By 2013, the new 911 Turbo will arrive, featuring a fun-filled 3.8L, 520-bhp power plant. The standard 911 Turbo should be followed up by a soft-top variant in 2014. 2013 should also bring a new GT3 model, featuring a high-revving naturally aspirated flat-six engine.
Way down the road in late 2013 or early 2014 will be Targa and Speedster versions of the 991-generation 911. Rumor has it that Porsche's product planning department looks to bring back the MkII targa, which featured a folding removable top and a heated glass backlight. Though the Speedster variant hasn't been confirmed yet, it wouldn't surprise any of us to see Porsche create a Speedster based on the 991 Cabriolet.
Last but not least, a 911 hybrid should be in the works as well, thanks to Porsche's success with their 911 GT3 R Hybrid. We'll stay tuned for upcoming, official releases from Porsche but for now, we have plenty to look forward to with the new 991 generation.
