Well well, at last.
very interested in pics of the PDK 'special gear changer' and that rear strip on 4Wdrives.
...and yes, pity about the new elephant ears (mirrors)

Those tail lights are going to look phenomenal, Porsche has covered them up very well. | | | | | Junior Member

If all this really happens, it will lessen the disappointment of not driving a new 997 in late 2007, early 2008. | | | | | Advocate

Sounds like this 997 facelift is a significnt one with many features which will actually improve the performance of the C2, C4, C2S and C4S.
Power increase, LSD for AWD models, PDK transmission with launch control, bigger brakes, and retuned stabilty control.
My guess is that new facelfited C2/C4 will have performance close to the pre-facelift C2S/C4S, especially with the PDK transmission. | | | | | Expert

I think i would be upset if I just bought a 911 Turbo Cabriolet or any of the GT series cars. They haven't been out that long before this facelift.

M | No need for regrets since they won't be receiving a facelift until next year. This year it's only the Carrera models which will be updated, the Turbo and GT3 are due in spring 2009. | | | | | The Following User Says Thank You to Centurion For This Useful Post: | | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes | Linear Mode |
