Porsche is a brand renowned for its unremitting evolutionary approach, but the appearance of lightly camouflaged prototype of what looks like an updated 991 Turbo only three months after the car went on sale in Europe and just as it arrives in North American and other dealerships around the world, has caught us by surprise.
We recognize that automakers begin work on completely new or revised projects years before they arrive on the market, but it’s not at all common to see facelifted prototypes of a model that just went on sale.
These photos of the 911 Turbo come about a week after another camouflaged 991 tester, which is believed to be the 911 GTS, was spied in Europe.
In both cases, there seem to be styling changes hidden behind the covered bumpers and the taillights, which our scoop photographers say that up close, looked bigger than the ones used on the current model and appeared to feature a similar “3-D look” to those on the Macan crossover.
It’s still too early to have information on any engine updates or changes to the cabin, but if Porsche continues to circulate these prototypes, we should find out more soon.
