Porsche Teases New 911 Variant for April 14 Unveiling, Likely GT3 Touring Cabriolet or Speedster
Porsche has teased a new 911 variant set for unveiling on April 14. The concealed silhouette reveals potential front lid vents akin to the 911 GT3, suggesting positioning above mainstream Carrera/S/GTS offerings.
