While Porsche's next-gen 911 Cabriolet might be high
on body cladding, this marks the first time we've gotten to see it with its top
down. This prototype was spotted in relatively cold weather, while continuing to hide its true appearance from us with the help of
some light yet effective camouflage.
Visually, we're seeing the same things all over
again when it comes to these prototypes. The Mission E-inspired taillights, the
new bonnet, which appears to run all the way to the front of the bumper, and
the "flap-type" door handles, which we haven't seen on a 911 ever
since the 997.
Since this prototype is a convertible, we should
mention that its "rear hunch" is somewhat similar to that of previous
models, although the body panels are different. It's also possible that the
edge of the rear-end light strip won't reach as far forward towards the fender
as it did on the 991 - but we'll need the camouflage to come off in order to
confirm this theory.
Compared to the current-generation 991 model, the
new car (rumored to be dubbed 992) is believed to have a longer wheelbase and
wider tracks, although overall length will remain unchanged.
Inside, we can expect certain tech and design traits
to be brought over from the second-generation Panamera (such as the new
high-res displays, touch-sensitive commands, sharper sound system etc), while
the engine range should feature slightly updated versions of the automaker's
turbo flat-six units.
The all-new 2019 Porsche 911 Cabriolet, along with
its Coupe sibling, is expected to make its debut later this year, followed by
the Targa version at a later date.
