Porsche refreshes the 911 lineup and a new batch of spy photos captures testing the 911 GT3 Touring in the snow. The car looks bare-bones, but the automaker uses a deceptively black cladding to hide the coupe’s styling changes.
The new photos reveal that the 911 GT3 Touring will receive many of the same updates as the regular GT3 also in development. The Touring’s front end is exposed, looking unchanged, but that doesn’t mean Porsche plans to leave it alone. The car is in the early stages of development and frontal modifications may appear later.

Most of the camouflage on this test vehicle is on the rear. The car wears a black bumper cover which hides the design changes. Porsche will probably redesign the bumper, but it couldn’t hide the massive rear diffuser with more prominent vertical elements than the current car. However, the round dual-exhaust tips remain.
The new images don’t show the interior of the car, but we did see the interior of the facelifted 911 Carrera. This car gets a new digital instrument cluster that should proliferate across the lineup, including the GT3 Touring. However, it looks like the new screen will be the biggest change to the cabin.
The GT3 Touring debuted in 2021 with a naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine. The engine produces 502 horsepower (374 kilowatts) and 346 pound-feet (469 Newton-meters) of torque, and it’s unclear if the current powertrain will carry over to the new car. We know the company intends to introduce a performance-focused 911 hybrid, but the details are hazy. Porsche offers the current Touring with either a six-speed manual transmission or a PDK transmission.
The revamped Porsche 911 is in the early stages of development, so we’ll be waiting a bit for the official debut. Porsche will likely start unveiling the model with the 911 Carrera before rolling out the other variants, but the automaker might surprise us. We doubt we’ll see the new cover for the 911 station wagon before the end of the year, so expect big things for the iconic model in 2023 from the brand.
