The day Porsche fans have been waiting for has arrived. Matthias Mueller, CEO, Porsche has confirmed company plans to bring an all-new supercar into production. Aiming to annihilate the competition, namely the 458 Italia, the luxury German automaker is planning to situate the new model between the iconic Porsche 911 coupe and limited-edition Porsche 918.

The new Porsche supercar will be cost 250,000-400,000 euros ($360,000-$580,000). As you can probably tell by the pricing, it will likely not hit U.S. soil. Though, there is still time enough for the Bavarian masters to change their mind. And, Porsche of Hawaii, serving the greater Honolulu area certainly hopes they do.

In an interview with Car and Driver magazine, Mueller shared, "It always  irritated me that the (most expensive) 911 tops out at 250,000 euros  ($360,000) and then the 918 continues starting at 750,000 euros ($1,080,000). In between, Ferrari cavorts around relatively comfortably without any competition. That is where we need to be. There is still space for larger sports cars, one like the 959 that we built in the 1980s."¹

In addition to their plans to steal market share from their Italian foe, Porsche has set a lofty sales goal, which outlines over 200,000 units in sales, by 2018. Among the other forthcoming cars that will help Porsche to achieve this target are the mid-engine roadster based on the 550 Spyder, small Cajun SUV, and a more compact version of the Panamera GT.
