The Porsche 911 facelift gets targeted cosmetic updates. These include new, model-specific bumpers, standard matrix LED headlights with integrated light functions, and more. The new cosmetic changes make the 911 more streamlined and improve its aerodynamics and performance.

The Porsche Driver Experience control concept inside the 911 focuses on the driver’s axis and intuitive, faster operation. The steering wheel is integrated with the essential controls.

The front fascia of the 2024 Porsche 911 Carrera 4 GTS receives five vertically arranged active air cooling flaps visible from the outside and another hidden flap on each other. They are complemented by adaptive front diffusers in the underbody – a first for the 911. These front diffusers are controlled together with the cooling flaps and direct the airflow as required.
