Automotive publication Motor Authority recently published some images of a very interesting, never before seen 911 Turbo S variant.  
The prototype is clearly a 911 Turbo S but it is slightly different from the rest of the Turbo S prototype fleet: the air intakes for the turbos in the rear quarter fenders are covered up, The car is wearing 911 Sport Classic wheels up front, and most importantly, the prominent rear wing has been replaced by a low drag spoiler. 
But how do we know we're looking at something special here, and not just a random prototype or oneoff?
If we line up all of the upcoming wingless variants of the 911, the carrera, the GTS, the GT3 Touring and the 911 Turbo S Touring, we can see that the turbo features a completely unique rear spoiler that is different from the others. Porsche even updated the spoiler of the GT3 Touring for 2025, but even that spoiler is different from the one on the Turbo touring. And the fact that Porsche used the resources to design and manufacture a unique rear spoiler not featured on any other 911, tells us that this is a production model we're looking at. 

So while this spoiler might be a very small detail, porsche isn't cutting any corners on the new Turbo s Touring. 
Now we don't know for sure that Porsche is going to be calling this the Turbo S Touring, but we do know that this isn't the 911 sport classic, as it doesn't have the ducktail spoiler and double bubble roof. The only thing we do know is that this is a more subdued version of the Turbo S, so for the sake of simplicity, we'll refer to it as the Turbo S Touring, until we hear otherwise.    So let's just take a look at this thing for a moment... it's pretty bad ass. With the intakes in the rear quarter fenders covered up, the curves on those huge fenders are a lot more prominent, and those sport classic wheels will look great at all 4 corners. And I'm almost wondering if the more aggressive proportions of this car might compliment those active aero shutters a little better than the carrera GTS does. 
**front**
Upfront There's still a fair amount of camouflage covering the fascia, but if we look closely we can make out the bulk of the updates. The horizontal shutters have been replaced by the new vertical shutters taken from the GTS hybrid, and the fog lights have been deleted from the lower bumper and incorporated into the headlamp cluster. In Between the two sets of shutters is a redesigned center radiator with an updated radar sensor module mounted in the middle. And at the bottom of the fascia, the new Turbo S now features a much more simple wraparound front splitter.  Other than these changes, the front will look mostly the same as the 992.1 turbo.
**rear**
The rear of the car has received a much more significant update. The exhaust system has been redesigned and now features quad exhaust tail pipes which have been relocated farther outboard to accommodate a larger center air vent, which is concealed by bulky plastic moulding.  The lower side vents have been deleted, giving the car a cleaner look, and there is a small ridge running along the bottom of each side of the rear fascia. The rear reflectors have also been extended and relocated higher up. 
Body parts that carry over from the previous model are  the fenders, doors, hood, roof and windshield. And the new components that will be shared with the 992.2 carrera are the rear light bar, headlamps, and decklid intake, 
**motor**
The prototype looks to be a hybrid because of the yellow stickers on the rear window, windshield and dash, which let fire responders know the car contains electric components such as lithium batteries that require special fire retardant chemicals if they catch fire. 

It's unknown which naturally aspirated engine will be powering the new Turbo S but it seems reasonable to assume that Porsche will be using their newly developed 9A3 engine. 
The 9A3 engine powers the GTS hybrid using a single turbo, and because porsche has electric motors that produce as much as 500HP, they might move away from the twin turbo setup that they've been using for the Turbo S since 1997.
And now the big question, How much horsepower will the new Turbo S have? Since it will most likely be a hybrid, we can look to the new GTS for the answer.
