Porsche is updating the 911, and that includes the convertible. Our intrepid spy photographers have already captured the exterior of the car, but a new batch of spy photos gives a glimpse inside the convertible for the first time. The photos reveal that the 911 convertible will follow the 911 coupe in adopting a digital dashboard.
The screens appear identical between the two body styles, but the 911 convertible hides the rest of the interior behind fittings and cladding. The interior of the 911 coupe spotted earlier this year revealed more of the cabin, showing off a familiar-looking center console, infotainment screen and dashboard.

The exterior of the 911 convertible resembles that of previous spy photos. The front fascia features active vertical slats hidden in the lower inlets, which adapt to the cooling needs of the car. Fake light housings on the outside of the bumper would conceal the real daytime running lights and turn signals.
Porsche hides the rear fascia under a blanket, hiding the finer design details. However, we expect the bumper to get a revamped styling. Porsche can’t hide the repositioned tailpipes, which are closer to the centerline of the car. The car is expected to receive a thorough styling refresh.
It is unclear whether Porsche will significantly update the powertrain lineup. The automaker could carry over the current powertrain lineup without any significant changes. However, we do know that Porsche will be adding a hybrid to the 911 lineup, which the company confirmed earlier this year. We have no idea how much power it will produce, but the powertrain will emphasize performance over efficiency.
There are rumors that the 911 could get the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine from the Cayman GTS and GT4. This could replace the 3.0-liter twin-turbo unit that currently powers the model, as there are rumors that the base 911 will revert to using a naturally aspirated engine.
We don’t know when Porsche plans to launch the revamped 911 Coupe and Convertible, but it should happen soon. Porsche is redesigning several variants of the 911 right now, and we can’t wait to see the updated lineup.
