The all-new Porsche 911 is available in only two
flavors so far, the Carrera S and Carrera 4S models, which customers can have
both in Coupe and Cabriolet body styles. Mind you, plenty of new versions
are in the pipeline, and we’ve already seen spy shots and leaked images of the
upcoming 911 GT3 and 911 Turbo range-toppers. Now it’s time to see another new
version that we don’t know much about.
Carscoops photographers recently spotted this unidentified
911 prototype which features plenty of differences compared to the existing 992
Carrera S/4S, the most obvious of which is the massive fixed rear wing. It’s not quite as big and
menacing as the one seen on 992 GT3 prototypes, but it gets pretty close. The
adoption of this aero element results in some changes at the rear end, as the
third braking light changes position and is now attached to the base of the
wing while the ventilation grille above the engine has a slightly different
design.
The wing is not the only change. A closer look reveals
new trapezoidal tailpipe trims that are different from the round exhaust tips
of the 992 Carrera S/4S. The bumpers are different as well and feature a
sportier design, with the position of the rear license plate being changed as
well (it sits upper). The wheels seem to feature the same design as on the 992 Carrera S/4S
but are painted in a gold hue. Finally, another detail is the sunroof which is
not made of glass but is body-colored instead. Which might point to it being a
lighter version, or it could just be a feature of this particular prototype.
Either way, the fixed rear wing and beefier exhausts
suggest this unidentified 911 version should be more powerful and probably more
track-oriented than the 450 PS Carrera S and Carrera 4S, though maybe
not as radical as the GT3. We’ll come back with new details on this intriguing
911 version as soon as we have them.
