Folks-

Have heard rumors through the dealers and from Germany, but everything is vague.

Does anyone know anything?

Thanks in advance.

 

I don't know anything but I'd reasonably suspect that at some point Porsche will decide that they can jam the GT2 motor into the 997TT, add PCCB as standard along with a short throw shifter, throw on some stripes and get $60k extra for a 997 Turbo S. They seem to not be willing to leave any money on the table as it relates to "special editions".

 

They usually bring out the X50 option as well but it's still not available.

 

I wonder if the sports chrono package has taken the place of the X50 option, at least in the mind of the marketing people. It's certainly true that Porsche is very good at making exciting versions of intresting cars.

 

last I heard before I left Porsche was there was going to be an S or X50 at the end of this model run before new body car comes out when ever that might be

 

i'd bet on it

 

The dealer here tells me (unofficially of course) that the 997TT.2 will be out by this year end and that they are already taking deposits. All changes of the 997.2 range will be integrated . I guess we all know that. But when I asked him about the Turbo S, he was not too sure him self.
