Porsche is rumored to be working on a modern take on the 911 2.5 S/T of the 1970s, using the latest 911 GT3 Touring as the basis.
. The next in the series is thought to be a modern take on the 911 2.5 S/T track car launched in 1971., though there are unique elements like the double-bubble roof, a feature Porsche also used on the 911 Sport Classic, as well as a new front fender vent design hidden beneath a makeshift panel.
There's also a small lip spoiler attached to the 911's standard integrated rear spoiler, and the engine cover has a roundel similar to the one bearing the"Porsche Heritage" inscription on the 911 Sport Classic. While the 911 Sport Classic is based on the 911 Turbo S, the 911 GT3 Touring as the basis for the modern 911 S/T is fitting given the original 2.5 S/T was a light, track-focused model developed for customer racing. It was first offered in 1971 and available in limited numbers only.
And while the 911 Sport Classic features extensive mechanical mods compared to the 911 Turbo S from which it's derived, we don't expect the same for the 911 S/T. This means it will likely keep the 911 GT3 Touring's 4.0-liter flat-6 and the engine's stock 502-hp rating.The 911 GT3 Touring offers the choice between a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic or a 6-speed manual, and it's possible only the manual will be fitted to the 911 S/T in keeping with the car's retro positioning.
