At the North American International Auto Show in Detroit (January 10 to 23) Porsche will be giving a new model its world debut.

Earlier this month Porsche spokesman Hans-Gerd Bode was interviewed by Bloomberg where he discussed the firm's plans to unveil a new model at the upcoming NAIAS. Today, the Stuttgart-based sports car maker made it official but did not release any information on the vehicle.

Porsche's debut could be anything from a successor to the 911 series, Boxster or Cayman, to the new Cajun three-door SUV and the production version of the 918 hybrid supercar, which is pictured below.

The show in the traditional venue of Detroit, nicknamed "Motor City", is regarded as a leading international marketplace and forum for trends and opinions that is particularly relevant for the North American market.
