Just like in the animal kingdom, color has quite a significance in the automotive world. Let’s take the gray hue on the spied Porsche 911 prototype above. This is a warning that tells fans the revamped 911 is approaching its debut, since all the spied prototypes so far have been dressed in Black.
This is also a good occasion to spot a few fresh details, such as the door handles, a nod to the 911 generations of the past, as well as the redesigned engine compartment lid grille, which also spells “classic”.
Once you get to know every member of the 911 range, this appears to be rather simple to comprehend, but this is as far from the truth as the engine of the car is front the front axle. Thus, there’s a deep aura of mystery surrounding the upcoming mid-cycle refresh of the car.
For instance, the latest rumor suggests November’s Los Angeles Motor Show could see the 911 GTS making its debut, with the car set to switch to the 992 chassis code, instead of the expected 991.2 designation. By the wat, you can regard the GTS as a halfway point between a normal 911 and a GT3.
Nonetheless, the greatest expected change shall be burried deep within the car, as the 911 facelift is expected to kick off Porsche turbocharged flat four revolution. Yes, the Zuffenhausen carmaker doesn’t face the same emission targets as, say, Volkswagen, getting away with a small volume producer exemption.
Alas, Porsche still has to watch its tailpipes and the carmaker will introduce turbocharged 911 models outside the Turbo or GT2 badge. Flat fours, to be more specific.
Did we say GT2 above? Well, nobody, perhaps not Porsche itself, is sure if there will be a new GT2. Until we get to find out, Porsche will quench our thirst with the GT3 RS, which has leaked via a scale model.
By the way, have you noticed how relaxed the Porsche employees in the car are? Of course, they know the secrets.
