SPY PICS: New Porsche 911 Turbo undisguised

Pictured here in all its glory – both outside and in – is the all-new 2021 Porsche 911 Turbo less than a month before its world debut at the Geneva motor show next month.

Due on sale in Australia by the end of this year, the new-generation 911 Turbo and Turbo S will crown the latest 992-series 911 range, which will further expand next year via replacements for the 911 GTS, the track-focussed GT3 RS and the top-shelf, $650K GT2 RS.

Before it arrives, at the other end of the scale, Porsche Cars Australia will finally introduce a seven-speed manual version of the entry-level 911 Carrera, which should lower the base 992 PDK’s current admission price from $229,500.

For now, all eyes are on the new Porsche 911 Turbo and Turbo S, which have huge shows to fill given the outgoing 991.2-series Turbo S has delivered an epic 427kW and 750Nm from its twin-turbo 3.8-litre flat six since 2016.

That was enough to propel the most iconic 911 (which was last priced at $482,700 in Turbo S Cabriolet form) to 100km/h in a claimed 2.9 seconds, although for once Porsche admitted its official acceleration time was conservative and that the Turbo S routinely achieved 2.7sec passes, so the new model could crack 2.5sec.

To do it, the new Turbo and Turbo S are expected to bring more power and torque from an upgraded version of the same engine, matched to an eight-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission and all-wheel drive, with outputs expected to top 447kW (+50kW) and 485kW (+58kW) respectively.

Of course, as you can see from the fully undisguised shots here, the new Turbo models are based on the all-new 992-series 911, bringing a completely new Panamera-style interior and even wider rear haunches.

The same will apply to the 992-series GT3, which will pack a naturally-aspirated 4.0-litre flat six with up to 400kW and was recently teased in a Superbowl TVC, but isn’t expected to debut until later this year.

These fresh spy shots show the next Porsche 911 Turbo will run staggered 20-inch front and 21-inch rear wheels, active front and rear spoilers, and yellow brake callipers gripping carbon-ceramic rotors in a PCCB set-up borrowed from the Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.
