People always joke that Porsche has just been making the same car, the Porsche 911, with marginal improvements for decades, but that just isn’t true. It actually makes a seemingly infinite number of variants of the 911, and it’s gotten so confusing the company produced a video to educate us.

If you’ve long been a fan of the wider rear ends of the all-wheel drive and GTS Porsche 911s, you’re in luck when the all-new 992 generation drops next year. According to a report from Car and Driver, Porsche’s going to keep things simple on the next 911 by making them all widebody.

The upcoming 2019 Porsche 911 992 generation won’t look vastly different from the outgoing 991.2. I know this because I’ve seen the mules already. So have you. They’ve been running around Ann Arbor, Michigan, the Nürburgring and now, apparently, Salt Lake City, Utah. What’s weird is that Porsche is still taping them…

Turns out all those European car magazines and our staff psychic were wrong: the new 992 Porsche 911 will not use a transverse, two-stroke diesel V4 front-wheel drive layout after all. Instead, it’s a 911, it looks like a 911, it sounds like a 911, and it goes nuts on the Nürburgring the way a proper 911 should.

Hey, remember earlier this week when we saw the mid-engine 2020 Corvette hustling around the Nürburgring in all that camouflage, and everyone was wondering if it would end up looking too much like a Ferrari or a McLaren? Evidently the Germans can’t even be bothered to disguise the all-new 2019 Porsche 911 at all,…

If you looked at the test mule above and went, “Oh, that’s just another Porsche 911,” then you’d be right. It definitely is another Porsche 911, but it’s also probably the new 992-generation 911.

In a world of constant change, the Porsche 911 is our rock. Our foundation. Our guiding North Star as the darkness threatens to surround us completely. No matter what happens, it will always be there to give us premium speed, good noises and a flat-six engine in the back. But as an all-new one looms, even Porsche…

An Instagram post from a user named ninastegmaier (since deleted) appears to show what sure as hell looks like the next-generation Porsche 911, the 992. Like all 911 revisions, the aesthetic changes are fairly subtle and evolutionary, but this is clearly not the current 911.
