Perhaps one of the most iconic automotive shapes of all time is that of the <a href="http://autoblog.com/model/911">Porsche 911</a>. Its signature lines are only mildly tweaked with each new generation, creating an evolutionary design that has only occasionally had some questionable fittings (we're looking at you, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/edo-competition-porsche-996-turbo/#228824">996 fried egg headlamps</a>).<br />
<br />
Our trusty spy photographers just sent along these shots of the next 911 coupe and cabriolet out testing in Europe. In previous <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2010/01/26/spy-shots-next-gen-porsche-911-gets-led-indicators/">spy sets</a>, a heavy plastic shell covered most of the 911's exterior, but now the prototypes are nearly naked, showing off the more chiseled lines of the iconic <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/porsche">Porsche</a>. LED turn indicators are found up front and more pronounced air vents flank the sides, but what we find most interesting is the more sculpted rear deck with its retractable spoiler. From some angles, we'd even say that the 911's rump is reminiscent of current <a href="http://autoblog.com/make/aston+martin">Aston Martin</a> designs.<br />
<br />
Expect to see the new 911 debut sometime during the 2011 auto show circuit (we're thinking <a href="http://autoblog.com/category/geneva-motor-show">Geneva</a>). For now, have a look at these latest spy shots in our high-res gallery below.<br />
