PASS THE CUP

A new Carrera Cup racer is coming.
Testing in public has begun at the Lausitzring is Germany ahead of the car's arrival in the Supercup competition in season 2026.
There is nothing official yet but the new car, called Generation 992.2, is likely to become the front-line Carrera Cup racer in Australia in 2027.

"Work on the new competition vehicle began at Porsche Motorsport in Weissach in January 2024," says Porsche.
"Among other things, development focused on improving the aerodynamics of the front end, which has a positive effect on drivability.
"In addition, there are numerous improvements in areas such as safety and electronics, brakes, power transmission and the six-cylinder boxer engine, as well as vehicle handling."

Michelin will continue as the tyre supplier and Porsche is also continuing its focus on eFuels for the new car.
Testing began at Weissach on the Porsche test track, with Monza also on the timetable including the Lausitzring.
“We are already operating at a very high-performance level with the current 911 GT3 Cup,” says Jan Feldmann, Project Manager for GT racing cars at Porsche Motorsport.
“This has allowed us to focus more on feedback from the global one-make cups and develop a racing car that has been refined in many areas compared to the current Cup 911.”

The new program continues the Carrera Cup development that began in 1990, building rapidly to the current program with 23 Porsche-sanctioned Sprint and Endurance Challenges and Trophies using the 911 GT3 Cup car.
The current – but outgoing – has hit a production total of 1130 cars, with a 992.1 911 taking slightly less than eight hours to build.
The overall total of Cup cars is 5381, likely a world record for one-make cars based on a production model.
