Next generation 911 Cabrio hits the Nürburgring
Next generation 911 (998) Coupe was first seen on the Nürburgring last week. Today the convertible version of the next-generation 911 made it to the extreme Nürburgring.
On these new photos we can see that this prototype has a small spoiler above the rear window right below the canvas.
Spy shots: Next generation 911 prototype hits the Nürburgring
On Tuesday we saw the next-generation 911 prototype with a new rear window spoiler.
Now Porsche has taken this prototype with new body modifications to the extreme Nürburgring, to see how the car behaves on high speeds around the track.
Latest photos of the next generation Porsche 911 prototype
Even though Porsche just introduced a facelifted 911 they have been working for a while on the next generation model. Last time we brought you photos of these prototypes were from snowy Sweden where Porsche had a whole fleet of 911(998) prototypes.
Now Porsche is back home and testing the next 911 in Germany.

It’s still extremely cold and snowy in the Northern Sweden for another month or two, so automakers are taking the maximum from these extreme conditions when it comes to testing new models.
Below we have a new set of pictures of the next-generation Porsche 911 (998) Coupe and Cabrio that will replace the current 911 (997) in 2011.

In addition to the first spy shots of the next-generation 911 (998) Cabrio, we have also managed to get new shots of the 998 Coupe. As we have already told you don’t get confused by the fake rear lights and spoiler.
We like the way front lights are standing more upright and it seems that the body is a bit stretched giving it a bigger look compared to the current 911.

These are the first crystal-clear shots of the next-generation Porsche 911 – internally called the 998 – that will replace the current model in 2011.
Few days ago we reported that this here (same car, but from a farther distance in heavy rain) was the new 911 Turbo, but on these pictures you can see that the side air-intakes in front of the rear wheels are fakes – and so is the huge rear wing which hides the shape of the smaller spoiler of the standard 911s.

Spy pictures: Porsche 911 (998) test mule
This here is most likely the new Porsche 911(998) test mule. Compared to the facelifted 997 the car has bigger wheel cases.
The all new Porsche 911(998) will most likely have a 345 hp flat-six engine for the Carrera model or 385 hp flat-six in the S model. Production is set to begin end of this year.
The new 911 codenamed 998 should debut in 2010.
Future additions to the model line will include Targa version for the Carrera and Carrera 4 lines. Surely GT3 and Turbo variants will also follow after some time.
