Spy Shots – Porsche 911 Cabrio Facelift

Our spy at the Nürburgring has photographed another prototype of the facelifted Porsche 911 Cabrio, now showing off all the modified features like the newly shaped front air intakes as well as the production exhaust system with the two tailpipes placed much further to the edges than in earlier pictures.

This model comes with the new front bumper design, which has vertical slats in its air intakes. The latter has also been changed from what can be found on the ongoing model, but it would not have been possible to integrate the vertical (and active) slats otherwise.

The rear bumper will also be modified with the facelift, especially in its lower part. Tell-tale is the fact that the mentioned area is covered in camouflage. The same can be said about the rear air outlets of the engine cover.

Taking a close look at the exhaust on the prototype of the 992.2 generation model, it will resemble the one on the Cayman GT4 GTS 4.0 model, which is also featured on the corresponding Boxster GTS. Both models come with a naturally aspirated, 4.0-litre flat-six motor.

AUTOMEDIA

Company insiders who wish to remain anonymous have claimed that the 911’s base variant will return to naturally aspirated motors. It is believed that the base model might have an engine that is derived from the 4.0-litre mill but with a smaller displacement. Unfortunately, it is impossible to tell from photos alone.
