最近谍照记者在欧洲拍到了正在山路进行测试的下一代保时捷911敞篷版。下一代911仍一眼就可以辨认出来，仍以现行版911为基础进行渐进式改款。车头采用超细窄LED日间行驶灯。侧面的车顶轮廓更顺滑，富有曲线感轮拱换成了棱角更分明造型，更类似当今的运动车。车尾的主动扰流器扩大到整个后部，位于Mission-E风格尾灯组上方，尾灯组现在也横贯整个车尾。这次共拍到两辆敞篷车进行测试，或许一辆是卡雷拉，另一辆是动力更强的卡雷拉S。其中一辆采用分立两侧的双排气尾管，另一辆是单排气尾管。新车入门级车型搭载的3.0升水平对置六缸引擎功率很可能会提升至276千瓦/370马力。预计下一代911将于明年下半年亮相。

Next-Gen Porsche 911 Cabriolet Spied Enjoying Mountain Roads

We last saw the next-generation Porsche 911 Cabriolet when the droptop was testing in a snowy forest. A new batch of spy photos reveals the convertible under development in a more appropriate place – a sunny mountain road in Europe.

The next-gen model is still identifiably a 911 and is an attractive evolution of the current 991-designated model. Up front, the fascia features ultra-thin LED running lights. In profile, the roof has a sleek shape even with the top up. The curvaceous fenders are a welcome alternative to the angular styling that many sports cars use today. At the back, these photos highlight the active spoiler that spans the entire rear. It sits just above the Mission-E-inspired taillights that also stretch across the back end.

These images show two models of the Cabriolet under development, possibly the Carrera and more powerful Carrera S. One car has dual exhausts exiting from each side of the rear. The other vehicle has a pair of single pipes that are closer to the center of the tail.

As with the current model, turbocharged engines would come on even the lowliest versions of the 911. Power likely grows from the 370 horsepower (276 kilowatts) that comes from the base trim of the current 3.0-liter flat six.

We expect the next 911 to debut the latter half of 2018. Before then, Porsche has one more variant of the current 911 left to premiere.
