SPY SCOOP: THESE are the very first pictures of the future Porsche 911 Carrera – snapped by our spies a few days ago at the German race and test track Nürburgring.

It looks like the current 911 Carrera – but it is the next generation car. Under the cleverly disguised body, the prototype carries the complete new mechanics including new engines and new chassis.

If you study the pictures closely you’ll recognize the hoods placed over the front and rear wings, disguising the true shape of the new car. However, yet today it is clearly visible that the next generation 911 will get circular headlamps while flashers and fog lights will be mounted in the bumper rather than built into the headlight units.

After strong critics for the shape of the headlights of the current 911, Porsche is returning to the conventional, typical 911 front for the new model.

Like their predecessors, 911 and Boxster are developed in combination and will again share major components, although the design will feature much more distinguishing marks compared to the two current models – the close relationship of which was regarded as a big mistake in the beginning of the era of the Boxster.
