The prototype for the Targa shows new internals for the headlights, a revised taillight design, and new front air intakes.<\/p>\n
According to our photographer, the interior of this prototype was also covered, suggesting some changes will probably be made to the dash. An updated infotainment system is a strong possibility, and the instrument cluster is expected to go fully digital this time, just like in the Taycan and the updated 2024 Cayenne<\/a>.<\/p>\n 2025 Porsche 911 Targa facelift spy shots – Photo credit: Baldauf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n It isn’t clear what’s planned for the powertrain lineup, but there are rumors a new engine might be introduced with this update, specifically a bigger, naturally aspirated unit. The current Targa comes with a twin-turbo 3.0-liter flat-6 with hp starting at 379.<\/p>\n There is some substance to the rumors. Frank-Steffen Walliser, the former chief engineer for the 911, said in a 2020 interview that new emissions regulations planned for Europe mid-decade will cause bigger engines to return<\/a> in favor of downsized versions. Apparently, the revised rules are aimed at matching lab-tested fuel economy with real-world results.<\/p>\n As mentioned above, hybrid technology is also expected to be introduced to the 911 with this update. The yellow sticker on this prototype, a requirement in some parts of Europe for electrified vehicles testing on public roads, indicates it likely features some form of electrification.<\/p>\n 2025 Porsche 911 Targa facelift spy shots – Photo credit: Baldauf<\/p>\n<\/div>\n In 2022, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume said the 911’s hybrid setup will be like the system in the former 919 Hybrid LMP1 race car, and not a plug-in hybrid system like in the 918 Spyder hypercar. That means there won’t be a plug, and one or more electric motor-generators will only be used to aid the internal-combustion engine and recover brake energy.<\/p>\n The first members of the updated 992-generation 911 range should appear later this year, meaning they’ll likely arrive as 2025 models in the U.S.<\/p>\n Also out testing are updated versions of the regular Carrera<\/a>, Carrera Cabriolet<\/a>, Carrera GTS<\/a>, GT3<\/a>, Turbo<\/a>, and Turbo S<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Porsche is working on an update for the current 992-generation 911 range, and the latest prototype to be spotted is for the 911 Targa.
