Porsche revealed the Mission S concept in New York, a mid-engined sports car positioned above the 911 in its lineup. Unlike limited-run halo cars such as the Carrera GT or 918 Spyder, Porsche says this will become a regular production model as part of a broader turnaround strategy dubbed 'Sportwagenschmiede '35.'
New York City's emergency 911 system failed to connect roughly 1,700 calls following a recent software update. City officials have not detailed how long the outage lasted or how many callers were affected during the disruption.
Porsche's updated GT3 Touring carries over the model's original concept of pairing the track-honed GT3 hardware with a deployable rear spoiler instead of the fixed wing, preserving the classic 911 profile. The 992.2 version retains the 9,000 rpm naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six, now rated at 502 hp and 331 lb-ft, sent to the rear wheels via a seven-speed PDK or six-speed manual. Big brakes, rear-axle steering, GT3-tuned suspension and an active sport exhaust all carry over as standard equipment.
