Porsche FeFi is coming late 2015 Porsche FeFi is coming late 2015
Porsche will launch in late 2015 the 960 four door coupe, internally known as Porsche FeFi (Ferrari Fighter) which confirms the market the new model will be targeted towards. 3.8H, 610ps, 745nm. It will use Volkswagen's brand new MSB-M mid-engined rear-wheel-drive platform that has now been given the green light by Volkswagen.
Places above the Panamera, 250.000€ starting price.

MSB - How would you like your rear-wheel drive?
(RWD/AWD, front-, mid-, or rear-engine architecture)
Conspicuously absent from VW Group's other two platforms are the group's halo brands - with the exception of the Cayenne and the EXP 9 F, it seems that Porsche, Bentley, and Lamborghini are missing out on VW's engineering revolution. (Of course, it is assumed that Bugatti will continue to use its own bespoke engineering.) That is why Porsche's engineers are the masterminds behind the MSB platform that will underpin all of the group's rear-wheel drive based cars. MSB will come in three flavors, all depending on where the engine is places: front, mid, or rear.
MSB-M - mid-engined, rear- and all-wheel drive
Porsche 960, a four-door coupe due in late 2015. The 960 will be the lead car for the new MSB-M platform; it has been dubbed "Fefi," for Ferrari fighter, and will use a twin-turbo flat-six not a V-8.
VW Bluesport/Audi R5/Porsche Speedster, no confirmed timeframe yet to the on-again/off-again nature of the project; however, the most recent reports say that the "Mimo" project is still very much alive and kicking.
Next-gen 982 Porsche Boxster/Cayman -- despite the current 981-generation Boxster just debuting at the Geneva show (and the Cayman yet to premiere) the next-gen is already well underway.
Lamborghini Aventador replacement - similar to the Boxster/Cayman, the current Aventador is only just out of the gate. Expect this to be one of the last new models from the first round of MSB-M cars, given the long average lifespan of the Raging Bull's V-12 flagships.
Eventual follow-ups to the still-to-be-renewed Audi R8 and Lamborghini Gallardo.
At least the R8 is getting a facelift next year to help keep it fresh.
MSB-F - front-engined, rear- and all-wheel drive
Starting in 2017, we'll see the third-generation of the Bentley Continental range. All three models (GT coupe, GTC convertible, and Flying Spur sedan) have been renewed again.
Baby Porsche Panamera: known so far as the Pajun, the BMW 5 Series-rivaling Porsche could also spawn a smaller Bentley sedan, though that car has yet to be confirmed.
Second-generation Porsche Panamera -- you'll have to wait a while for this one, as the current Panamera only just finished rolling out its full model line at the end of last year with the Panamera GTS, and the facelift for the range will start no earlier than late next year.
MSB-H - rear-engined, rear- and all-wheel drive
Surprise! At this point, the rear-engine is and will remain to be exclusive to the Porsche 911 and its 20-something variations. The MSB-H will underpin the follow-up to the just-released 991-generation 911, so don't expect to see this any time before 2017.
