As is necessary in the highly competitive sports car market, the Porsche 911 (991) is due for a mid lifecycle refresh. While it may be considered a performance benchmark for many, there's always some way to improve upon it.
And if there's one thing Porsche is known for, it's detailed changes that may appear minor; however, do add up to significance. That's exactly what we're seeing here.
Caught fully in the buff, the car pictured is a 911 (991) Mark II Turbo S. While it looks awfully similar to what currently exists you'll note that there's been modifications to the front clip, side skirts, rear clip and cooling for the rear-based motor.
On the inside, it's very apparent that the interior will remain largely the same. There are TWO differences though: First, an all-new steering wheel is fitted but if you've seen the 918 Spyder, Macan and 2015 Cayenne you won't be surprised. Second, the BIG news is the all-new infotainment system. If you click over to see the spy shots, it is a massive screen that looks very similar to an iPad that's been integrated into the center stack.
We're assuming there will be updated software and an easier-to-navigate graphical user interface (GUI).
Lastly, we're speculating that Porsche will make minor modifications to 911s engines to squeeze out even better performance and eek out more fuel efficiency. Considering the likes of what Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren are up to, it has no other choice.

...Blink and you'll miss it, but this is the facelifted Porsche 911 Turbo, revealed in our spy shots. The minor revamp is part of an update for the whole 911 range that will go on sale at the end of the year, and the Turbo gets subtly redesigned exterior details and a revised interior.
You'll have to look closely to spot the bodywork changes, as they're restricted to updates to the grille and front bumper design to improve cooling, as well as tweaked front lights with new internal graphics and LED running lenses...
