Porsche is developing an all-new 911 GT model that will focus primarily on driver involvement unlike the other GT models. This new model will be a complete detour from the current GT series models, including the GT2 RS, which is believed to be in the pipeline.

The GT model is expected to emphasise on simple driving pleasure and is engineered in a way radically different from the track-based RS models and the standard GT cars designed for everyday use.
The new car may get the narrower body of the base 911, and miss-out on the aerodynamic add-ons that have become synonymous with the model range. It will the return of the manual gearbox to the GT range since it was phased out in 2011, along with the older-generation models.

The new 911 GT is expected to be powered by Porsche’s 3.8-litre flat-six naturally aspirated engine from the current 911 GT3.

There is no information regarding the new model's name and though the company did recently trademark the GT5 badge, it is not expected to feature on this model. The badge is likely to be worn by a model that will be positioned below the Cayman GT4.
