Porsche is building a new flagship.

In a historic expansion of its traditional sports car lineup, Porsche announced on Thursday, Oct. 15 a permanent, mid-engine hypercar model positioned above the iconic 911 supercar that’s priced from $137,850 to $256,650.

Porsche has produced one-off, mid-engine hypercars in the past like the all-wheel-drive, plug-in V8-powered 918 from 2013-15.
