The model will make its world debut this summer in the Northern Hemisphere and will join the Supercup and Carrera Cup competitions starting next year.
Porsche is in the final stages of developing the new 911 Cup, a single-make race car based on the current 992.2 generation of the iconic German sports car. The model’s world premiere is scheduled for this summer in the Northern Hemisphere, marking the beginning of a new era in the brand’s high-performance racing competitions.

The new 911 Cup will officially compete in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and selected Carrera Cup championships, including the Porsche Carrera Cup North America, starting with the 2026 season.
Since 1990, the Porsche 911 has been the foundation of the brand’s single-make racing series, beginning with the German Carrera Cup. Just three years later, the format’s success led to the creation of the Porsche Supercup, featured on the Formula 1® race calendar. Today, Carrera Cup competitions are held in more than 12 countries, spanning regions such as Asia, Australia, the Middle East, the Americas, and Europe.
In addition to the main series, 23 Porsche-sanctioned Sprint and Endurance championships also use versions of the 911 GT3 Cup, contributing to a production milestone of 5,381 units — one of the global records for racing cars.
The new 911 Cup is produced at the brand’s main plant in Stuttgart-Zuffenhausen, in the same space where street-legal models are assembled. The current model, the 911 GT3 Cup Type 992.1, launched in 2021, has already seen 1,130 units produced, each completed in a process that takes less than eight hours.
With the new model set to hit the track, Porsche reinforces its commitment to sporting excellence and the tradition of performance that has made the 911 a legend on both the track and the road.
