While I won't be able to confirm a fit off-hand I can give you some fit dimensions that you can compare with the OEM roof rack on your 2013 Porsche 911 to determine fitment on your end.

The Thule UpRide # TH599000 was designed around the Thule WingBar Evo dimensions of 3-1/8" wide x 1" tall. If your OEM crossbars are under those dimensions then the clamps for the UpRide will be compatible no problem.

If you have channels on top of your crossbars for mounting accessories then you just need to make sure that they are no larger than 20 mm x 20 mm (about 0.787") for the channel mounts to fit properly.
