There’s no question that the Porsche 911 has the most varied lineup of all sports cars on sale around the world, with the German luxury brand offering no fewer than 22 variants.
From the base 911 Carrera to the 911 Turbo and from the coupe to the convertible and the Targa, the 911 offers an unrivaled variety of powertrains and body styles so that everyone (who can afford it) can buy the 911 best suited to their needs.
Porsche’s website currently lists a total of 22 variants for the 911, but you can make that 23 already because a new one is coming on April 14.
Is This the First-Ever Porsche 911 GT3 Cabriolet?
Porsche’s YouTube channel will host the digital world premiere of a mysterious new 911 model on April 14, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. CEST (10 a.m. EDT). The automaker is being secretive about the new model, sharing only a teaser image of the car completely covered in a black tarpaulin.
Porsche says the new 911 variant will offer "pure driving pleasure" and will be presented in an entertaining film that will see well-known car experts put it through its paces on the spectacular mountain roads of Tenerife. Interestingly, the experts won’t know which car they will be driving, which suggests that the video will feature a camouflaged prototype.
Now, the teaser image may not reveal much, but those with a keen eye for detail will immediately spot the four-point LED daytime running lights, which is the unique front lighting signature of the 992.2 GT3 and 992.2 GT3 with Touring Package. This is a strong clue that the new model is a new 911 GT3 variant, but what could it possibly be?
The most logical variant would be the facelifted 992.2 GT3 RS, but seeing as the car in the photo lacks a rear wing, that’s very unlikely. A closer look at the teaser image may hold the key to this, as above the windshield we can spot a small seam that’s a strong indication this could be a convertible. A 911 GT3 Convertible, though?
While that may seem like a stretch—Porsche never built a drop-top 911 GT3 before—there are some precedents in the company’s recent history. As recently as 2019, Porsche offered the 991.2 Speedster, which was essentially a 911 GT3 without a fixed roof.
Add to this recent spottings of a convertible 911 GT3 test prototype, and this seems like the safest bet as to what new 911 GT3 iteration we are dealing with here. The 911 GT3's 502-hp naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine with a six-speed manual and the open sky above the head seems like the stuff of dreams for any 911 enthusiast, so we only have three words to Porsche regarding this: bring it on!
