The facelifted Porsche 911 is starting to reveal its secrets as spy photographers have snapped pictures of the model inside and out.
Starting in the cabin, the 2024 911 is instantly recognizable as key components carryover untouched. However, there’s an update hiding in plain sight as the model now sports a fully digital instrument cluster. That’s a small but significant change as the current 911 has an analog tachometer, which is flanked by two digital displays.
The modest updates continue outside as the facelifted coupe and convertible have a new front bumper that features active shutter intakes with vertical slats that open and close as needed. They’re joined by horizontal accents and updated daytime running lights that are hidden beneath black tape.

The rear end is sporting more disguise, but we can see a new bumper with a higher license plate recess and a dual exhaust system with tips that are now located closer together. There’s also camouflage on the engine vents and this suggests they could be updated as well.
Porsche has been tight-lipped about the model, but we can expect an assortment of familiar engines with possible improvements to increase performance. While that remains to be seen, the current 911 Carrera has a twin-turbo six-cylinder engine developing 379 hp (283 kW / 384 PS) and 331 lb-ft (448 Nm) of torque. The 911 Carrera S increases those figures to 443 hp (330 kW / 449 PS) and 390 lb-ft (528 Nm) of torque, while the GTS packs 473 hp (353 kW / 480 PS) and 420 lb-ft (569 Nm).
However, there have been rumors about a 4.0-liter flat-six and spy photographers have already caught the upcoming hybrid variant on multiple occasions. Little is known about the latter, but engineers are trying to keep the weight gain to a minimum and the model is expected to be focused on performance instead of efficiency.
