Explain the numbering system?

Can anyone explain what the numbering convention for Porsche is?
I'm talking the 964, 993, 996, 997, 991, 992... What happens next? the 99...8?
Or isn't there really one?
I know Ferrari had / have a vague connection to the engine - 355 3.5ltr 5 valves per cylinder..
But I can't find anything, however tenuous that might connect the numbers to the models with Porsche (Except maybe the 914 / 916 which had 4 cylinders or 6! :D ).


Just wondered.. :thumb:
