  • 2020 Porsche 911, 2018 LA Auto Show

    A lifted Porsche 911 could be in the cards, according to Detlev von Platen, Porsche's sales and marketing boss. The executive told Autocar India in an interview at Wednesday's reveal of the 2020 Porsche 911 at the 2018 Los Angeles auto show, that a high-riding 911 "could be a good idea." We imagine a tougher suspension and a mild lift for the 911 would culminate to create the niche model. And von Platen said it would, indeed, be a very niche offering. "It won't be a model range but it will be a limited, a very niche product," he added. A 911 Safari of sorts could take inspiration from...

That would peg the target figure at almost 13,000 vehicles in 2025. Palmer told Reuters in a Sunday report that Aston Martin has not seen the same slowdown in many markets that other automakers have complained of. Sales in the...
