The Porsche 911 mystery is back, and this is the best look yet. The model appears to be the Turbo variant of the Nine Eleven but with a duck tail spoiler on the back.
The 911 Turbo S has already debuted, so we’re still not entirely sure why this one is still camouflaged and with a ducktail spoiler on the rear cover. The best guess so far is that Porsche is developing a Sport Classic package that would equip the modern 911 with the styling of older examples of the iconic sports car, particularly the Carrera RS 2.7.
In addition to the ducktail spoiler, Porsche engineers largely camouflage the rear bumper of this development vehicle. This is strong evidence that the company is also working on a different look for the rear of any new variant the automaker is working on.

Judging from the angry sound coming from the exhaust, Porsche is also working on a new set of pipes for this vehicle. There are two oval-shaped outlets on this one, but the spy photos above also show a similarly styled 911 with four trapezoidal finishers.
Assuming this is just a design package, then we wouldn’t expect any major changes to the 911 Turbo S’s powertrain. It includes a 3.8-liter twin turbo six-cylinder engine with 640 horsepower and 590 foot-pounds of torque. In the existing form, the coupe reaches 60 miles per hour in 2.6 seconds and a top speed of 205 miles per hour.
A debut date for this retro styled package is a complete mystery. Porsche keeps busy debuting models online because physical revelations are impossible during the COVID-19 pandemic. We can’t wait to see what these parts look like when the camouflage comes out.
