New 2025 Porsche 911 Turbo 992.2 spied without camouflage

The new 992.2-generation Porsche 911 Turbo S has been spied with almost no camouflage ahead of its reveal in the coming months. This is traditionally the flagship version of 911 and has long been the first model in the range to get new tech – and this updated version will be no different. 

Porsche has already confirmed that the new Turbo S will integrate a similar T-Hybrid system to the GTS. But in the new car, it will be paired with a much more powerful version of the iconic flat-six engine. 

Although the new spy shots don’t confirm what’s under the skin, they do reveal what the 992.2 Turbo S will look like. Starting with the nose, we can see the new front end features vertically oriented active vanes that sit either side of a large central opening. 

While the test car does have silver strips on the bumper mimicking indicators (as on the current generation), we know that all 992.2 models have their full lighting set-up integrated into the main headlight units, giving the lower bumper a cleaner look. 

The wheel design is new and features a centre-lock mechanism that reduces unsprung weight. Behind are the typical yellow calipers of Porsche’s ceramic braking system.

The rear end arguably features the biggest collection of changes, including a brand-new lower bumper with a large grey plastic insert that incorporates a set of double-oblong exhaust finishers. Turbo S models have typically featured the oval exhausts from Porsche’s Sports Exhaust option, but it looks as if the new Turbo S will feature a more distinctive design that helps mark the Turbo out from lesser 911 models. 

The new car features the same active rear wing as before, but what’s lurking underneath is still a mystery. Previous 911 Turbos have typically run a larger 3.7-litre engine with twin variable-vane turbochargers rather than the 3.0-litre units found in the base Carrera. But given that the new GTS features a brand-new 3.6-litre unit, we suspect this might also appear in the new Turbo. 

The difference between the two cars will likely be the turbocharger set-up. The new GTS, with its single large turbocharger, is assisted by having a small electric motor integrated in the turbocharger housing. This essentially eliminates turbo lag, fixing the problem that a Turbo’s complex and expensive variable-geometry turbochargers do mechanically. 

As a result, this brings into question what technology the new Turbo S might include, especially taking into account the small gearbox-mounted e-motor that will also likely be integrated into the overall system. 

Regardless of the actual layout, the 911 Turbo S will be all about a big output – above the current car’s 641bhp. As with all modern Turbos, this will power an all-wheel drive system through an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission. 

The new car will also feature lots of high-end chassis technology, including Porsche’s active ride-stabilisation system, the aforementioned ceramic brakes, the firm’s torque-vectoring rear differential, and an active front splitter to balance out the large rear wing. 

However, there is also a rumour that Porsche will be adding a new ‘Touring’ model to the range, which will feature a manual transmission and do away with lots of the chassis tech, and the side intake. This will create a model similar in principle to the 911 Sport Classic, and offer an additional series-production model for those after a new combination of 911 engine, gearbox and chassis tech. 

We’ll know more in the run-up to the car’s formal debut in a few months, with this potential ‘Touring’ model possibly arriving a few months later.
