The GT2 is facing up to an even brighter future. These are the first spy shots of an updated version of Porsche's 911 flagship – showing its revised LED front and rear lights.

Following on from the facelift Porsche gave to the 911 GT3, which debuted last year, the Stuttgart-based firm has been caught at the Nurburgring putting a revised GT3 through its paces. Accompanied by the current model – the red car in the background – it's easy to spot the albeit subtle changes. As well as re-shaped LED lights, the new GT2 gets a new bumper too.

Under the bootlid lies the same 530bhp 3.6-litre twin-turbocharged flat six-cylinder engine, which drives just the rear wheels through a six-speed manual gearbox. It has enough grunt to rocket the GT2 from 0-62mph in just 3.7 seconds and onto a top speed of 204mph.

Expect the new 911 GT2 to make its worldwide debut at the Paris Motor Show in September.
