Cayman T Rumours

[SpannerMan]

Was reading about a new 718 model that is hinted to be making a debut for the 2019 model year, could be interesting.  

 

"New documents submitted to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration reveal clues about what Porsche has in the pipeline for the 2019 model year. Specifically, we could soon see a Porsche 718 Cayman T.

 

News on the potential new variant comes from a Thursday AutoGuide report, which published VIN decoder documents submitted by Porsche to the NHTSA.

 

The documents outline the potential for a 718 Cayman T.  The "T" badge stands for "Touring" and dates back to the 1968 Porsche 911 T, which the brand revived for the 2018 model year 911 Carrera T. It also represents a more purist take on the driving experience and focuses on driving pleasure.

 

The 718 Cayman T could fill the gap between the base model and the pricier Cayman S while offering a similar ethos to the Carrera T.  The document does say the Cayman T will pack a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, though output is listed as "TBD."

 

Included in the documents is also confirmation of a 911 Speedster model. Expect the 911 Speedster to serve as a going-away party for the current 991-generation 911."
