There is some uncertainty about whether this is an updated Porsche 911 GTS. While it features center-lock wheels and lacks the side intakes of the Turbo, it also does not have the hood and front fascia of the 911 GT3, which are unique to those models. Unless Porsche is introducing center-lock wheels to another vehicle, it is likely the GTS.

Another interesting aspect of these spy photos is the round yellow sticker on the back window, indicating that this 911 is a hybrid. This means it will have more power than the standard GTS, which already boasts 473 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter engine. The exact power output of the hybrid version remains a mystery, as Porsche has not provided any details yet. Sources suggest that it will not be a plug-in hybrid like the Panamera, which can produce over 700 horsepower and run on electric power alone. Instead, the hybrid system in the 911 GTS facelift will likely focus more on performance rather than efficiency.
