It looks like Porsche are already bored with the looks of their latest flagship car.

World CarFans are running spy pics of prototype coupe and cabriolet models this week, during testing in America. It’s not know whether the new Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet model will receive the makeover at this point.

Power remains the same, with the facelift 997’s retaining the current 3.6L and 3.8L units.
