A facelift of the 992-generation Porsche 911 has been spied during cold weather testing. 

    Our spy photographers caught both the convertible and coupe versions in the snowy conditions sporting changes to the front bumper, headlights, rear bumper, and tail lights. 

    The updated front bumper sees a revised look compared to its predecessor. 

    Headlights on the convertible versus the coupe seem slightly different, although it’s possible these differences are down to the haphazard nature of most development mules. 

    Daytime running lights and indicators also feature a refresh to their LED design. At the back Porsche has updated the tail light design with a more minimalist approach. 

    A new bumper features a central exhaust, directly underneath the licence plate, similar to the Porsche 718, Spyder, and GT4. 

    The air intakes for the engine also look to be updated. 

    While we are yet to see the full interior and dashboard on the facelift there are some changes expected, including fully digital dials on the instrument cluster. 

    Porsche tends to expand its 911 range across the life cycle, offering an array of variants to cater to all manner of customers.

    The current generation comes in 911 Carrera, Carrera T, Carrera 4, Carrera S, Carrera 4S, Carrera GTS, Targa, Turbo, Turbo S, GT3, GT3 RS, and Dakar forms, for reference.

    We would expect this new iteration to follow a similar template. 

    While we are yet to see the latest on the rest of the range it seems Porsche will be also adding design updates to the Turbo, GT3, and Dakar within the 911 range, all having been spied in various testing conditions in the last 12 months. 

    At this stage, it is unclear when the 992.2 generation will be released. 

    Porsche released the current generation of the 911 in 2019. Carrera variants are usually first to appear, followed by Turbo and Targa models, GT3 variants, the Carrera GTS, and finally the track-focused GT3 RS.
