There will be two different models, one will be a traditional 911 with a six pot, and another will have an eight cylinder engine.

you're probably right, the 8-pot will be too different from the 911 to be called the same thing...

one thing's for sure... im glad Porsche are increasing their product line... not that i have anything against the 911 and Boxster, the 911 is my favourite car, its just that i love Porsche, and it seems there will soon be more models than ever! long live Porsche!

It wont lose its exclusivity if all the cars it makes are expensive and well-made...

the way you need to look at is Porsche conquering the world!

Ferrari is making 4 at the moment: 360, 575M, 456 GT, and Enzo.
Before the Cayenne Porsche only had 2: 911 and Boxster!
I know there are many different versions of the 911 but its essentially the same car! i think its good for Porsche to expand its model range
