2011 Porsche 911 Convertible – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThe latest round of Porsche<\/a> 911<\/a> spy shots<\/a> showed the coupe undergoing cold weather testing, and now our frost-bitten shooters have caught the convertible ahead of its reveal later this year.<\/p>\n

Being a 911, the stylistic changes won’t be revolutionary, but we’ve gotten word from insiders that active aerodynamics are part of the package (think the Ferrari 458 Italia<\/a>‘s pliable nose), along with a new speed-deployable rear spoiler and a handful of openings in the bodywork to tweak airflow and cool off components.<\/p>\n

Underneath the new platform, which insiders hint will carry the 991 designation (we don’t get the roll-back either), Porsche’s boffins are likely to employ a new electro-hydraulic power steering system to further reduce emissions, with the standard 3.6- and 3.8-liter direct-injected flat-sixes carrying over unchanged. Inside, our spies suggest that the wheelbase may be lengthened to make rear seat accommodations more suitable for fully-formed humans and that Porsche may ditch the traditional hand brake lever in favor of an electronic switch, similar to the Panamera<\/a>‘s.<\/p>\n

We should get our first official eyeful of the next generation 911 later this year, with sales beginning in early 2011.<\/p>\n
