The upcoming Porsche 911 turbo and turbo S have recently been spotted carrying out their winter testing phase, and these latest prototypes are the most revealing yet, and give us a good idea how the next generation vehicles are going to look.
Up front the most obvious change is the addition of the vertical slats installed in front of the two outer radiators, similar to what first appeared on the carrera prototypes. These active shutters open during acceleration to allow more air into the radiators, and close while cruising to improve airflow and fuel efficiency.
There's also a redesigned center radiator with an updated radar sensor module mounted in the middle
The new headlamp lenses have a cleaner and more simple design, and the lights themselves feature a redesigned five-dot matrix system. Also, the daytime running LEDs in each assembly now function as turn signals.
There's still a fair amount of camouflage covering the front, but other than the new vertical shutters, the front of the 992.2 turbo will look mostly the same as the 992.1 turbo.
The rear of the car has received a much more significant update. The exhaust system has been redesigned and now features quad exhaust tail pipes which have been relocated farther outboard to accommodate a larger center air vent. The lower side vents have been deleted, giving the car a cleaner look, and the rear reflectors have been extended and relocated higher up.
Two bulky plastic plates cover the bottom center of the rear fascia, and conceal a newly designed air vent.
The rear lightbar assembly has also been redesigned, with the lower horizontal light strips stretching deeper towards the center, and flanking the repositioned porsche lettering, which is covered by tape, The lettering is rumored to light up when the headlamps are turned on.
For the past couple years people have incorrectly been reporting that the Turbos S will be a hybrid, this is because Porsche has been testing hybrid prototypes based on the Turbo S platform. We know these are hybrids because of the yellow sticker on the rear window, which lets fire responders know the car contains electrical components such as lithium batteries that require special fire retardant chemicals if they catch fire.
but the actual Turbo S prototypes have been spotted and there is no yellow sticker, or any evidence of the cars being powered by anything other than an internal combustion engine.
The first 911 hybrid will most likely be the 992.2 GT2 RS, and we likely won't be seeing any other hybrid or electric versions of the 911 for several years, as Porsche has stated they are going to keep the 911 naturally aspirated for as long as possible, and we have at least until 2035 when Europe will begin banning the production naturally aspirated engines. But this date will most likely be pushed back. So we're looking at at least another decade of internal combustion 911s.
The most up to date information we have states that the 992.2 Turbo and turbo S will be powered by a smaller but more advanced twin-turbo 3.6-liter engine. Porsche states that the current Turbo and Turbo S produce 572 and 640 horsepower, respectively, and we can expect these numbers to increase between 10 and 15 horsepower for the upcoming models.
The chassis, fenders, doors, hood, windshield and rear spoiler will remain unchanged, and from the very limited interior photos we've seen, the only real difference seems to be the all digital dash, but these pictures are about a year old now, so more modifications could have been made since then.
Most people reporting about the 992.2 turbo are referring to it as a 2025 model, but unfortunately, it'll be much longer before it hits the market.
The 992.1 carrera was revealed back in November of 2018 and the Turbo S was revealed nearly a year and a half later in march of 2020, with the reveal of the standard Turbo happening 4 months later in July of 2020.
we can expect the base model 992.2 carrera to be revealed mid to late 2025, and if Porsche follows their standard release schedule, we may not see the Turbo until 2027, but porsche can be unpredictable from time to time so hopefully the turbo will be revealed some time in 2026.

Lots of people hate the front Gills but I like them. It looks super aggressive
Surely the 911 is one of the best platforms to run a hybrid set up. Harvest off the from axles under braking and then dump it into the rear axle to boot you out of the corner.
Please Porsche, give this thing a major redesign! No more nip tucking!
Pretty sure your timelines are way off. .2 turbo/ turbo S will be introduced/unveiled in early 2025 w/ deliveries starting Q4/2025

2020 /22. Look the most beautiful Turbo’s ever made. I had a 1998 model 😊and that was fantastic in always keep up the excellent work with these lovely. sports cars.. All the best to Porsche company.
78-79 930s are Porsches beasts and beauty's...
Still love the late model 930 turbo as my favorite Porsche....but nothing else compares to a Porsche. Even love the Taycan EV.
I love the turbo s
However it comes, we are ready for optimization 🙌🏻
The first generation 911 Turbo shown is by far the most wicked looking 911 Turbo ever!!! Coolest rear spoiler, slick front lip, classic Fuchs rims (still the best looking rims ever put on a Porsche), nice black trim over chrome, great rear flared fenders without ugly holes for cooling, dig the 5 analog gauges and the sound of the engine revving brings back sweet memories. This is the best Porsche info channel.

wondering if this will be more ballistic than ever
I really don't like the added complexity of hybridization. Nor do I think the digital gauge makes sense (deleting the analog tach). And I think the Taycan style light up "PORSCHE" logo is straight up goofy and for the Starbucks drinking mouth-breathers who lease a base 911. My other concern, and this is an issue with my 992 with RAS, is the cost of the battery - the standard Lithium battery for my car is $1,600 for the battery alone, what's going to be the cost for this new hybrid battery when it does eventually fail (like all batteries ever made)?

the digital gauges I don't get at all why they delete them, its such a crazy interior downgrade... and it's not like its a budget car where cutting corners is the biggest priority AT LEAST, if you want to have a digital screen, make it have the "outer case" of the gauge still physical to give it a coherent look... having a flat screen is pathetic, just like touchscreen buttons on the steering wheel
But the current 991.1 the last car with analogue arrow display
Re: Hybrid, Ive seen the next GTS in person last October. It was indeed a hybrid. Not at all far fetched that turbo S will be hybrid, maybe turbo is not.

When they released the 992.1 turbo s the government forced them to disable the sport plus mode which provides over boost for more HP due to the emissions output exceeding the legal limit. So I doubt that they will be able to exceed 700hp with even tighter emissions regulations coming up

There will already hybrid models with the Carrera and Turbo models
They keep getting the front grills wrong . The old 70s Centre RS type Front mouth is the way forward. Too busy with three mouths
That’s good leave the 911 alone
What I do know….all that power is a waste of money on the street and 99% of drivers won’t take it to the track and if they do, won’t be able to drive it at it’s potential.
I would love to see Porsche build a front engine GT car as a true successor of the 928. Something that competes directly with cars like the Ferrari 812 or Aston Martin GT cars.

Those rear lights.. 🥴 dont like it. Already didnt like a entire lightbar when the 992 introduced. But I think they work on the regular GT3 and Turbo S. Still, 997.2 and 991.2 are the best looking 911's for me. And ofcourse that wide 930 turbo

Compared to similar cars you get a lot for your money
Uh Yeah, I do believe my wang is huge-afied by the turbo S.
From response of many others the emotional passion for the 911 design died in 1990. The new 911 version looks like the old lady on Botox, the front end looks like the bumper is missing after an accident, none of the newer designed rear spoilers hold up as a classic design, the holes in the fenders for cooling look like black head pimples, the video screen dashes are ugly and will be even dumber in 10 years. Don't get me started on the 718 being designed after a bar of dial soap. Solution: buy a classic 911 in Europe along with a house with the extra money saved by not buying a new 911. I have owned 4 911 Porsche and the thrill is gone. By far my 67' 911s was the most fun to own and drive. So what if it didn't do the quarter mile in 10 seconds.
Wow these things are ugly. Glad Chevrolet makes corvettes that perform just as good but look way better.
