Will the new Porsche 911 have a more aggressive variant than the Turbo S?

The new Porsche 911 Turbo S could start arriving at dealerships next spring, but will we see a much more aggressive version of the Porsche 911 with a duck-tail rear spoiler?

The Stuttgart brand offers a dizzying variety of variants of the new Porsche 911, and it seems to be working on a new special edition. Test units have been running around Spain and Germany for several months, but the latest images give us a better look at the high-performance model that could be based on the Porsche 911 Turbo S.

There isn’t much to see from the front, but the prototype has been fitted with Turbo-spec bumpers and centre-lock wheels from the Turbo S. It also has a high-performance braking system with yellow calipers and huge carbon-ceramic brake discs.

Porsche 911: what will the new generation bring?

While much of the car is carried over, the rear has us intrigued, as the most notable change is the duck-tail rear spoiler that features an integrated third brake light. It immediately brings to mind the spoiler on the Porsche Carrera RS and that of the limited-edition Sport Classic from 2010. The latter is highly sought after and sold for around €590,938 earlier this year.

Since this is probably a special edition, we are not entirely sure what it will be called. However, the model may revive the nickname Sport Classic or Turbo RS. We will still have to wait a few months to see it and even get behind the wheel.

Whatever it is called, it will likely have a 3.8-litre twin-turbo six-cylinder engine. Reports have indicated that the powerplant could produce a whopping 650 CV and 799 Nm of peak torque already seen in the Turbo S, and it will be paired with an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission that sends power to all wheels. According to reports, this will allow the coupé to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 2.5 seconds and reach a top speed of 330 km/h.

Unfortunately, fans will probably have to wait several months to learn more about this duck-tail model, as the standard Porsche 911 Turbo is not scheduled to arrive until next spring.

What makes the future Porsche 911 Turbo S special?

As we have mentioned, the future Porsche 911 Turbo S is in its final stages of development. Looking at the front, you can see that it no longer has the typical black vinyl wraps but also already features its definitive elements, as well as the bumper with its moldings and side air intakes.

At the rear of the sports car, you can still see the vinyl wraps covering the details. For now, the rear light clusters resemble those of the Porsche 911 Carrera. Will they end up like this?

The bumpers follow the line of previous models, and the exhaust outlets will be dual and square-shaped. According to the brand, this will mean a much more powerful engine inside, capable of reaching between 600 and 650 CV. As for the exterior, it keeps the same configuration, including even more prominent bumpers, multi-spoke wheels and the characteristic spoiler.

The official presentation date is unknown, but everything points to the new Porsche 911 Turbo S becoming the big showcase for the Stuttgart brand. Given the absence of interior photos, it cannot be said whether this prototype has a manual gearbox like its predecessor, but we hope it does, even as an option. Everything points to it possibly featuring a seven-speed PDK dual-clutch gearbox. In any case, the engine could remain a naturally aspirated flat-six, as it is preferably called, which in all likelihood could have a displacement of 4.0 litres.
