With the recently unveiled Porsche 911/991 in tow, our spy photographers have moved on to the new generation sportcar’s variants to keep us entertained. The new Porsche 911 Turbo Coupe and Cabrio will be unveiled at next year’s Geneva Motor Show, but recent spy shots, as well as previous hot weather testing shots, can provide a good look into the future of Porsche Turbo. Our newest spy shots of the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio come to us from the famed Nurburgring race track where the vehicle was taking some laps with the top closed. Expect the future Turbo Coupe and Cabrio models to be powered by the same 3.8L turbocharged flat six engine, but massaged to deliver more than the current 500 HP for the standard Turbo and 530 HP for the Turbo S. Following along the lines of the new 911, the Turbo variants should receive auto start/stop, thermal management, electrical system recuperation, and the world’s first seven-speed manual transmission or the optional Porsche-Doppelkupplungsgetriebe (PDK) to boost that horsepower right up to about 515 HP for the Turbo and 550 HP for the Turbo S. Rumors are also circulating that the new PDK-S dual clutch transmission may find its way into the Turbo models before it debuts in the next generation 911 GT3. With the use of these power-boosting additions, the Turbo models’ fuel consumption and emissions are also expected to be lowered. The 911/991 received a drop of up to 16% for the Carrera and 14% for the Carrera S. In addition to the changes in power, the Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio will obviously be differentiated from the Coupe with the use of a soft top. Wider rear fenders, additional cooling vents, and a new active rear spoiler will also make an appearance. Stay tuned as we uncover more details on the 2013 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio.

Updated 02/06/2012: The new Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible has been caught during cold weather tests near the Artic Circle. .
15 comments: Porsche 911 Turbo Convertible They are really amazing. There are lots of additional features for the car but still, the emission is lowered. And it is my first time to hear about the 7-speed manual transmission for a turbo coupe.
 It looks like another version of their Cabriolet. Anyway, it really looks cool on that platform and body paint! Moreover, I’m truly impressed with the engine specification of this one, very powerful!
 I’ve seen lots of 911 vehicles today, and I must say that they are all looking very fabulous and awesome with their different platform and style!  Anyway, I’m so impressed with this one for the fact that they use a soft top on it.
 I don’t think that this turbo convertible is the simplest vehicle of Porsche. Anyway, I’m so impressed with its power output which I’m sure could really give an awesome speed for this car!
 The simplest Porsche I’ve ever seen so far, but I must say that it still looks very appealing on that, and I’m glad that it had an impressive engine output. However, I’m quite curious about its interior.
 This Turbo convertible truly looks so great on its additional features. Additionally, the engine output of this one is really very striking on it, which only gives me the idea that it is fun to drive with!
 I’m glad that they still managed this one to had a very powerful and striking engine. Furthermore, the looks of this one, is definitely looks so classy and sophisticated on it. I just only hope that they also include some pictures of its interior.
 I’m impressed with the simplicity of this Porsche, but I noticed that in spite that, it is still very striking and appealing. Well, I also noticed that its black body paint gives the classy and sophisticated looks on it.
 Well, it is really a nice idea that it is also in a convertible one, but I don’t that 515 and 550 horsepower is suited on a sports car. Anyway, I am simply impressed with this, and it look so classy and sophisticated on its sleek body paint.
