2025 Porsche 911 spied with almost no camouflage

Porsche engineers are testing prototypes of the updated 911 line, and the latest test car has finally got rid of camouflage gear.

Earlier we provided spy shots of the prototypes of the updated 911Turbo, 911Turbo S and 911Carrera Cabriolet. Our latest pictures show what the updated 911 Carrera coupe looks like.

The current generation of the 911 992 appeared in 2019 as a 2020 model, originally introduced as the carrera and turbo. Known internally as 992.2, this updated 911 will appear in the 2025 model. The debut will take place in the near future, and the appearance of the showroom should last sometime next year.

The design changes are minor, the prototype is equipped with a large air intake with a vertical flap, which is likely to be active. There is also a new interior for the new front headlights, and the turn signal will be integrated with the headlights, and not be on the front panel, as in the current design. This is a great place to start.

Moving backwards, the taillights will have a new design with a double bar. We also note the design of the new rear diffuser and the tip of the exhaust pipe attached closer to the center. The movement of the exhaust tip is associated with rumors that a new engine may be introduced in this update, especially in the 4.0-liter flat-6 line, a more powerful atmospheric unit, like the Porsche 718, with a capacity of 394 horsepower. The current Carrera model comes with a 379-liter flat 3.0 twin-turbocharged engine with a capacity of 6 hp.

The rumors are well founded. Frank-Steffen Walliser, chief engineer of the Porsche 911, said in an interview in 2020 that new emission standards planned in Europe around the middle of the 10-year period will bring back larger engines in favor of smaller units. The new rules are clearly aimed at comparing real indicators with laboratory-tested fuel economy.

We also expect this update to add hybrid options to the Carrera. The updated turbo also requires a hybrid option.

The interior shots show a revised dashboard design. Porsche plans to add an enlarged infotainment screen and a new dashboard that will be fully digitized, like the Taikan. The current design uses analog sensors for tachometers installed in the center. It seems that the current shift lever of the dual-clutch automatic transmission has not been redesigned by analogy with an electric shaver.
