Porsche accidentally revealed the design of the new 911 Turbo on its German configuration tool.
Porsche has a string of new products this year, unveiling several models and special editions, including the base 911 and the 2025 GTS.
Last in line, the restyled 911 Turbo was accidentally revealed on the German market configuration tool. It was Ari, a well-known automobile observer in Germany, who discovered the leak. He noticed that the Turbo model appeared on the visual of the cruise control option for the 911 Carrera, with distinctive features: four exhaust outlets and very wide rear fenders.
Although Porsche has since corrected the error, the image remains viewable on Ari’s Instagram account.
A subtly refreshed design with the 992.2
Unfortunately, only the rear of the car has been revealed and the image quality is not the best. However, a few distinctive details stand out clearly. The rear bumper has been modified with a more pronounced license plate cavity and vertical vents at each end which replace the square air outlets of the 992.1 model. The exhaust tips are now square, and the part containing the diffuser seems more massive.
We find the usual horizontal reflectors, and we expect to see the model sport the new Porsche headlights, including integrated turn signals, as well as subtle adjustments at the front.
Although this refresh seems discreet on paper, it’s clear that in person this new 911 Turbo won’t go unnoticed.
Hybrid engine for the 2025 model
A week ago, Porsche confirmed that the 2025 911 Turbo would use Varta battery technology, already present on the latest GTS model, thus confirming the arrival of hybridization for the 992.2 Turbo.
It remains to be seen whether this Turbo will maintain a classic twin-turbo engine or if it will adopt a single electric turbo like the GTS. However, the first option seems the most likely for this generation, with a more radical new configuration planned for the next one.
With images already visible on certain configuration tools, the official presentation of the new 911 Turbo should not take long. We expect an announcement at the beginning of 2025, or even before the end of the year. In the meantime, Porsche continues to offer the 50th anniversary edition of the 911 Turbo.
