Porsche is preparing to take its future model range in a new direction. The German luxury carmaker has outlined its roadmap under the Sportwagenschmiede ’35 strategy, which includes plans for a Porsche new supercar positioned above the 911, a new SUV with combustion engine and plug-in hybrid powertrain options, and all-electric 718 Boxster and Cayman models.

The aim is not only to introduce new products but also to strengthen Porsche’s premium positioning, expand personalisation options and improve profitability.
The central idea of the company’s new strategy is ‘Value over Volume‘. This means that Porsche will focus on high-value models, personalization options and better profit margins rather than simply selling more cars. The brand is also exploring opportunities in new high-end segments while maintaining its existing sports-car identity.

Porsche Mission S Could Preview a Porsche New Supercar
The most exciting development in Porsche’s upcoming product plans is a new mid-engined supercar platform. The company has confirmed that it is developing the platform for a super sports car positioned above the iconic 911. This future model could find a home among the brand’s range-topping performance cars.
According to reports, Porsche may reveal the first glimpse of this project on October 15th through a concept called the Mission S. However, the Mission S’s final production name, technical specifications, and launch timeline have not yet been officially confirmed.
If this project reaches production, Porsche will have the opportunity to develop a new flagship supercar family after the 918 Spyder. The 918 Spyder has been an important example of the brand’s hybrid performance engineering. The new model could help Porsche re-establish its presence in the ultra-high-performance segment.
Porsche has not yet shared power output, engine configuration, or electrification details. So, for now, this should be viewed as a planned supercar platform rather than a confirmed production car.
Porsche New Supercar to Offer Combustion and Plug-in Hybrid Power
Porsche is also planning a significant addition to its SUV range. The company has announced plans to introduce a new SUV in 2028, which will be available alongside the all-electric Macan. This upcoming model will be offered with internal combustion engine and plug-in hybrid powertrain options.
This decision makes it clear that Porsche doesn’t want to rely solely on electric powertrains for its SUV customers. Luxury SUV buyers’ requirements may differ depending on the market, so petrol and PHEV options could give the brand more flexibility.
The PHEV version could be useful for buyers who want to cover daily commutes on electric power, but also prefer the convenience of a combustion engine for long-distance journeys. But Porsche has not yet revealed battery capacity, electric-only range, engine options, or performance figures.
The company is also exploring another flagship SUV, which could be positioned above the Cayenne. Codenamed K1, this project is reportedly coming first with a combustion powertrain, while an electric version may arrive in the future. The final launch timing and powertrain lineup for this model are not yet confirmed.
Porsche 718 Boxster and Cayman Will Move to Electric Power
A major change in Porsche’s strategy involves the next-generation 718 Boxster and Cayman. According to the company’s roadmap, both sports cars will move forward with all-electric powertrains. Porsche expects the 718 range to support sales during its first full production year in 2028.
This move will be important for enthusiasts who appreciate the Boxster and Cayman for their lightweight character, responsive handling, and traditional sports-car feel. With the electric platform, Porsche will also face the challenge of balancing instant torque and handling through battery placement.
The company has not yet confirmed the final range, charging speed, battery capacity, or power output of the production versions. Therefore, it is important to wait for official technical information rather than speculating on these details.
Porsche’s broader plan is to combine combustion, plug-in hybrid, and electric powertrains depending on the market and model. This does not mean that every Porsche model will follow the same electrification path.

More Bespoke Porsche Models and Exclusive Performance Options
Personalization is another important pillar of the Sportwagenschmiede ’35 strategy. Porsche aims to offer customers more customized vehicles through its Sonderwunsch and Exclusive Manufaktur programs. The company aims to significantly expand the top-end Sonderwunsch business in the medium term.
Such programs give customers scope to choose unique paint finishes, special materials, individual cabin themes, and bespoke design details. Limited-run models and one-off builds can strengthen the brand’s exclusivity and have the potential to generate higher margins compared to regular production models.
Porsche has also increased its stake in Manthey Racing to 67 percent. This provides scope to expand performance upgrades, track-focused packages, and exclusive customer experiences. This strategy targets buyers who want not just premium cars, but also personalized ownership and a performance-focused experience.
Porsche Wants Better Profits Through Fewer, Higher-Value Models
Financial pressure is also a key factor behind Porsche’s product strategy. The company’s operating profit fell from EUR 5.64 billion to EUR 413 million in 2025. Following this sharp decline, Porsche is focusing on controlling costs, simplifying the product range, and improving per-vehicle value.
The company wants to reduce model variants by approximately 20 percent in the medium term. This could reduce production and development complexity, while concentrating sales on fewer variants is expected to improve efficiency. Porsche has also set a target of reducing materials costs by around 10 percent.
Platform and component sharing with Audi and the Volkswagen Group could also play a role in cost reduction. However, Porsche maintains that despite shared technology, each brand’s individual character and driving experience will be maintained.
Beyond the Headlines
Porsche’s Sportwagenschmiede ’35 strategy is more than a simple product expansion plan. The company is advancing the all-electric 718 Boxster and Cayman while continuing to make room for combustion and plug-in hybrid SUV options.
At the same time, the planned Porsche new supercar above the 911 and a growing range of bespoke models could further strengthen the brand’s exclusive premium identity. This approach reflects Porsche’s aim to balance electrification, performance and exclusivity while improving long-term profitability.
For buyers, this practically means that Porsche’s future range could be more diverse in both powertrain choice and personalization. However, many projects are currently in the development or planning stage. Only after the Mission S preview, final specifications of the new SUV, and technical details of the 718 EVs are released will a clearer picture of the company’s actual product direction emerge.
The real test for Porsche will be whether it can reduce costs and improve profitability while preserving its performance-focused identity. If successful, the Porsche new supercar and next-generation lineup will represent not just new models, but a major shift in the brand’s business model.
