The Brits from Autocar have extensive details regarding the future generation Porsche 911 which according to them will debut next year.
They say the 2012 Porsche 911 will come with the same rear-engine layout, a refreshed exterior that will feature slightly redesigned headlamps and tail-lights incorporating LEDs, exterior mirrors that are positioned on the doors, wider wings that will be able to accommodate 20 inch alloys and higher quality interiors.
As you can imagine the German automaker will continue to concentrate on saving weight, meaning the 2012 Porsche 911 is likely to loose around 45 Kg, while the car’s suspension and handling will also be improved.
The range topping Porsche 911 Turbo model which is expected to be out in 2013 will come with an electrically operated rear wing and improved aerodynamics.
The new info regarding the 2012 Porsche 911 also states that the car’s reworked bonnet will cover an increased boot with a capacity of 140 liters, while engine options include a 3.6-litre 365 BHP 295 lb-ft unit for the Carrera and a 3.8-litre plant delivering 415 BHP and 325 lb-ft for the Carrera S.
It remains to be seen if the German automaker is also developing a 2012 Porsche 911 hybrid, so stay tuned for official details as soon as they get released.
