It hasn’t been on sale all that long, but the newly turbocharged Porsche 911 range is about to be updated for the 2017 model year. The upgrades will bring a lot more connectivity features, new colour options and the availability of a 30bhp power improve for some variants. 
Available through ‘Porsche Exclusive’, the power upgrade kit is being used on the 911 Carrera S, Carrera 4S and Targa 4S. It adds 30bhp – upping total output to 444bhp – thanks to larger turbochargers, and includes the sports Chrono pack with dynamic engine mounts, a sports exhaust and modified brake cooling.
The pack, which costs from €10,139 Euros (around £8,800), brings the power of the Carrera S up to 444bhp – or the same as the new 911 GTS. From June 2017, the power improve can be retrofitted to models which already have the sport Chrono pack – pricing for the retrofit is yet to be announced.

Elsewhere, Porsche has also expanded its ‘Porsche Connect’ smartphone connectivity system with a new connect plus option that adds an integrated SIM card. It indicates a flat data rate can be charged for navigation and infotainment services, while later in the year music streaming and a WiFi hotspot will also feature. 
New colour choices are available inside and out, too, with a highlight being the new four-coat Saffron Yellow finish. Porsche is yet to confirm UK prices for its range of updates, but did say a “price adjustment” of between 0.9 and 2.0 per cent is expected.
