New Porsche 911 Cup (992.2) set for 2026 Supercup debut

Porsche presents the 911 Cup based on the 992.2 generation for the 2026 season, with enhanced aerodynamics, eFuel use, and global series deployment.

Porsche is preparing to unveil the next-generation 911 Cup race car, based on the updated 992.2 platform. The official debut is expected in the summer of 2025, with its competition rollout scheduled for the 2026 season in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup and selected Carrera Cup championships worldwide.

The development process began in January 2024 at Porsche Motorsport's Weissach facility. Like its predecessors, the car merges production technology with dedicated motorsport engineering, but this iteration places even greater emphasis on handling and aerodynamic precision. Notably, the redesigned front section improves overall drivability, according to Porsche engineers.

The new model underwent real-world testing on three demanding circuits: Italy's Monza, Germany’s Lausitzring, and the in-house test track in Weissach. Test drivers included former Porsche Junior Bastian Buus (2023 Supercup Champion), Klaus Bachler (2024 FIA LMGT3 Endurance Trophy winner), Laurin Heinrich (2024 IMSA GTD Pro Champion), and seasoned racer Marco Seefried.

A standout element of the testing programme was the exclusive use of eFuel — the same synthetic fuel used in the Porsche Mobil 1 Supercup. This racing blend complies with the FIA's updated “Advanced Sustainable” regulations and contains 79.7% renewable components, such as methanol-to-gasoline (MtG) fuel sourced from HIF’s Haru Oni pilot plant in Chile. Compared to fossil equivalents, the blend enables a 66% reduction in CO₂ emissions.

Porsche sees the integration of sustainable fuels as central to the future of motorsports. Following the Supercup’s transition, other series like Carrera Cup Benelux have also adopted renewable blends, signalling a broader shift toward climate-neutral racing.

The Porsche one-make cup legacy stretches back more than three decades, beginning with the 944 Turbo Cup in 1986. Today, the global programme spans over 30 countries and hundreds of circuits, with more than 5,000 dedicated race cars built. The new 911 Cup continues that tradition, offering a refined and forward-looking platform for privateer teams around the world.
