2011 Porsche 911 spy photos

By Matt Brogan | January 27th, 2010

Here are the latest spy photos of the new Porsche 911 undergoing cold weather testing.

This time the prototype has the real lights in both front and rear and we can also see the LED day-driving lights and the LED indicators.

The shape of the rear is still camoflagued by a big fake rear spoiler. The new 911 also looks very long, but it could also be the cammo that is fooling us.

WOW

Looks so different to all the other 911 over the last 40 years…..

Long is good/better, more [leg] room in the back seat is always good.

Keep up the scoop photos guys!

I often wonder why Porsche even bother masking up a ‘new’ 911. The average punter wouldn’t even be able to tell the difference!

I dont really notice the differences between models either, though if you see a newer one against an superseded one, the older one looks pretty shabby in comparison (at least, as shabby as a porker can look). I’m sure an enthusiast would be able to tell the changes in a flash.

Mmm, much the same.

I like what I see

Front guards look a lot more pronounced and curvy, creating a nice curvy beltline from nose to tail.

I reckon it looks a bit more pumped up and tough.

I suspect the sucess of the Nissan GT-R might see a bit of a step up in performance for the 911 throughout the range…!

Cant wait to see this thing – sure it looks pretty similar to previous models, but driving a 911 changes your perspective on them pretty quickly!!!!

When you constantley re-set the standard by which every other sports car on earth is measured, you don’t have to worry about making it look different.

If you want to pose or pick up hookers, buy a Ferarri.

If you want to drive, buy a Porsche.

Why change on perfection is the argument as to why Porsche design remains constant. This is one marque I have accepted that any new variation to a model they come up with will look, well very close to the previous it replaces.

are you idiots kidding me? how is this the same to all Porsches in the last 40 years? even a child can tell the difference between a 30+ year old porsche and a 2010 one. they obviously arent the same. so what the hell are you talking about?

it does look familiar to recent 911s like the 996, but what the hell do you expect? what car DOESN’T look the same to the most recent model after a little facelift? should they radically the whole looks, give it a Lambo shape or something?? wtf?

look at every generation of 911s and you’ll notice each one differs from the other. the difference is even grater when you compare recent ones to very old ones. so whats your point exactly?

in your mentality porsche should make totally different designs with each new model. make it look like a lambo this time, for the next model give it an aston martin look, for the one after that make it look more like a mustang…

for the love of jesus….think before you speak/type

Maybe you should follow your own advice there.. All they were saying was Porsche design hasn’t changed dramatically over 40 years. It has evolved from the original 911 unlike many other iconic models that will change in the blink of an eye. If Porsche designers are lazy in their current styling that is because they designed the perfect car from the start.

mmm no they said the new 911 looks the same as all the other 911s, and it doesn’t

Hi guys just thought I will let you know. I live in South Africa and saw 6 Porch Panamera doing Africa test conditions. I saw a very funny looking Black Porch 911 and now I know after seeing the spy shots that it was the same Porch with that ugly rear end. So they are doing tests with the 2011 Porch 911 in South Africa also. Date of seeing them is 22 January 2010. Place: South Africa; Gauteng; Johannesburg; Roodepoort.

Thanks
