Porsche are at it again! Hot on the heels of the revised 911 GT3 RS, we've got you the new 911 Cabrio!

Porsche have tried to keep this under wraps, but even with the German marque's famous badge covered up, you can tell this is a 911. This is helped by the fact that the changes are quite subtle, but they add up to make a big difference.

As you can see, the new 998 has more upright front lights than the current model, and the side mirrors have moved back and down from the side window corner to the side of the door.

All kinds of disguises have been used on the spied Cabrio, including a huge fake rear wing hiding the shape of the smaller spoiler. Don't let the side air vent stickers fool you either, as this model is not a Turbo.

Expect the next-generation 911 to feature the boosted flat-six engine and new PDK dual-clutch gearbox when it replaces the current car in 2011.
