Are the two models you list available at this time? Can you even order one? Have they replaced the 911 on the showroom floor? They may eventually replace the 911 but that is no guarantee as they may be a Porsche like the 918 that is only available to the wealthy. How many Caymans and Boxsters do you see racing in the GT categories in the Le Mans series? The motor in the new 911's has been moved forward for better stability and eventually Porsche will concede to mid engine design and that was my original point. So why are you confused or are you just arguing for arguments sake?
I'm still confused. The 960/988/FeFi will be their flagship model. It will be mid-engined. They know that. It will cost more money, be faster, and I believe will be their successor to the 911RSR for teams to race in WEC.
So what's the problem? It will be everything everyone wants, a mid-engined flagship Porsche model (below the 918 and its successor halo model), and the 911 will be second tier,
So what am I missing here? The mid-engineed fans will have their dream come true. A new flagship model, above the 911 in the lineup, faster, stronger, taking over the dominate role in racing.
What else you want?
