最近谍照记者在纽伯格林赛道拍到了正在进行测试的下一代保时捷911GT3，按照谍照记者的说法，测试车驾驶员将这辆原型车开到了极限。这辆车看起来有点古怪，这到并不是它怪异的后保险杠伪装，主要是由于它的轮拱。有迹象表明，保时捷准备进一步提升前后轮距的宽度。该车没有配备尾翼，而第三刹车灯明显是后装的。这辆车远非最终量产版，甚至连该车的排气尾管都是临时安装的。而在车头，前保险杠看起来是取自低端版本的911车型，所以看起来不那么具有侵略性。可以看到该车尾部采用了车头同宽LED尾灯组，而这更多的是出现在992那一代车型上，同时车身在过弯时显得非常低。根据传言，911GT3最大变化是引擎。虽然保时捷几个月前承诺将尽量延长车辆使用自然进气引擎的时间，但似乎车厂已经无法抵御采用涡轮增压引擎的欲望。如果真像传言所说的那样，新车将搭载涡轮增压引擎，功率513马力，扭矩710牛米。不要指望该车会很快发布，保时捷将首先推出992系列衍生车型。这些车将在年底前发布。

 

Spied: 2020 Porsche 911 GT3 caught testing at the 'ring

The cat is pretty much out of the bag when it comes to the design of the regular Porsche 911 (992) versions, but we’ll have to wait more to see the GT3 without the disguise. The next iteration was spotted this week hard at work around the Nürburgring where the test driver was pushing the prototype to its limits, according to our spies.

 

It looks a bit odd not just because of the weirdly camouflaged rear bumper, but also due to the reason there’s something going on with the wheel arches. It could be a sign Porsche has plans to make the front and rear tracks a bit wider, although it’s too early to know for sure at this point. An obvious omission is the big rear wing, while the third brake light looks like an afterthought.

 

These are all signs the prototype seen here is far from being the finished product, and even the exhaust looks like a temporary setup. At the front, the bumper looks as if it was taken from a lesser 911 version since it’s not all that aggressive. We do get to check out the full-width LED taillight strip we’ll be seeing more of with the 992-gen model, and also how the work-in-progress vehicle rides extremely low while tackling the Green Hell’s numerous corners.

 

If we were to rely on the rumor mill, the biggest change the 911 GT3 will be going through has to do with the engine. Even though Porsche promised just a few months ago to keep the naturally aspirated mill alive for as long as possible, it looks like it won’t be able to resist the temptation of adding a turbo. Should the reports pan out, the next-gen model will be turbocharged to roughly 513 hp and 524 lb-ft (710 Nm).

 

Don’t expect the 911 GT3 to come out anytime soon as first Porsche will introduce the more attainable derivatives of the 992. These are expected to be unveiled before the end of the year.
