SPY PICS: Porsche renews 911 Turbo

These spy photographs taken in mid-winter Europe depict the Turbo version of the next-generation Porsche 911, which is expected to debut at this year's Paris motor show.

The new 911 Turbo is not expected to be introduced concurrently with base 911 models; word is it won't be seen until the end of 2019, with deliveries beginning in 2020.

The changes across the whole 911 range – the new model will be dubbed 992 – aren't dramatic, but they are enough to distinguish it from the current ‘991.2' series.

While the Turbo is readily identified by its bulging (even larger) wheel-arches, gulping front-bumper air intakes, enlarged rear spoiler and re-shaped inlets set into the rear guards, there is commonality in the extended, sharper-edged bonnet and the slim tail-light array.

There's nothing definitive about the next Turbo engine, although a power boost for the Turbo S to around 450kW -- about 23kW above the current Australian-spec Turbo S -- is being suggested.

A zero to 100km/h time of around 2.6 seconds is being touted too, and all-wheel drive will naturally carryover.

Inside, it's being said by those who might know that some Audi digital display technology will be adopted too, along with matrix LED headlights.
