Porsche Will update now 911 in 2023, with refined styling, chassis tweaks and potentially a more advanced, fully digitized cabin.
Our scouting photographers spotted the upgraded vehicle (codename 992.2) in the terrain Safari Decoration, with increased vehicle height and plastic bodywork. Aside from these Safari-specifics, apparently the revision Mercedes-AMG The GT’s rival will receive slight design tweaks to the upcoming car.
The biggest change is at the front, where the 992.2 brings a new front bumper with a cleaner grille layout and integrated LED lights. The next-generation 911 will likely use the current model’s Matrix LED headlamp technology, with Porsche’s signature four-point daytime running lights design.
Elsewhere, this version of Safari seems to have GT3Stylish bonnet vents flank the Porsche crest, although this may be a distinguishing feature of the all-terrain variant.
We expect a selection of new wheel designs and the car will be offered with an optional Porsche paint scheme. This test car also looks set to get the optional SportDesign rear bumper, though it’s not yet clear if this will be an option with the facelift or part of a redesign. The rear spoiler has also been subtly redesigned.
Inside, the 992.2 is expected to keep the same basic layout as the existing car, with Porsche’s latest PCM 6.0 infotainment system, which has just been updated to include Spotify music streaming, no Android Auto wire and improved voice assistant.
However, the improved 911 can forge ahead with an all-new digital instrument panel, like the one of Taycan EVs. The current model uses an analog tachometer on either side, but this could be replaced by a slim curved screen that can display driving mode information, maps for navigation and power. data from the car’s night vision system.
The next 911 could also receive an improved set of sensors for more advanced driver assistance technologies. A host of chassis and handling improvements are also expected to deliver 992.2 sharper feedback when the driver is in full control.
Porsche has improved the 911’s suspension and steering as part of previous mid-life updates, so it’s more likely there will be a tweaked electric power steering and chassis setup. Revision. Faster calibration for eight speeds PDK gearbox is also possible, although the 992.2 is unlikely to receive significant powertrain modifications.
However, it will get a new hybrid variant. The long-awaited electrified 911 will be part of the 992.2 lineup, although the option could be added after the facelift launch. Electric-assisted 911 can generate more power 911 Turbo S 641bhp to become the most powerful 911 available.
