最新拍到的保时捷911升级车型谍照显示，车厢内配备了全彩色数字仪表群，只有硕大的中置转速表仍是物理仪表。从照片看，911改款车与现行版一样仍保留了基本的仪表布局，但采用了取自最新款Panamera和卡宴的全数字可变仪表显示屏。现行版911的速度表，油表和各种温度表都采用了物理移动指针。新式仪表将为911驾驶员提供更多信息。比如，在卡宴和Panamera车型中，全彩色仪表可提供主动安全配置信息，包括InnoDrive自适应巡航控制，甚至包括插电混动动力系统信息。当然，现在还不能确定全彩色数字仪表群何时配备在911系列上。这次拍到的新车外装也让人看到内部编号为992的下一代911的外观。现行版911作为991系列是在2011年的法兰克福车展发布的，而如果新一代车型于明年发布也毫不奇怪。

Porsche 911 Spied With Almost-All-Digital Instrument Cluster
New spy photos show that the next update for the Porsche 911 includes a move to a full-color digital instrument cluster. Only the giant, center-mounted tachometer will remain a real, physical gauge.

As you can see in these photos, the 911 appears to retain the basic gauge arrangement seen on current cars, but with the all-digital, reconfigurable circular screens that are already employed on the latest Panamera and Cayenne. Today’s 911 still uses physical moving needles for the speedometer, fuel gauge, and various temperature gauges.

The new-style gauges will give Porsche the ability to present more information to 911 drivers. For instance, in the Cayenne and Panamera, the full-color instruments can provide info on active-safety features, like the InnoDrive adaptive cruise control, or even plug-in hybrid powertrains – though we don’t know for sure yet if or when those will reach the 911 lineup.

This batch of spy photos also shows what the outside of the next Porsche 911 – potentially to be known by the codename 992 – will look like on the outside. This era of 911, known as the 991 generation, was introduced to the public at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show, so we wouldn’t be at all surprised to see a new model in the next year or so.
