I just saw the 2008 Turbo. Looks the same but the base sticker price has gone up as Porsche indicated a few months ago.

I snapped a few pics at my local dealer.

Pretty car, Artic Silver. I do have a penchant for guards red tho. lol

 

Not sure I like the red tail lamps nor the painted lowers and grill with arctic silver. Looks like a toothy grin.

 

how much did the base price go up? they said 3-5% throughout the model range but what was the actual? looks VERY nice!

 

$126,200 base

 

Normally there are subtle differences between model years like in the 996' s but I cant tell how to distinguish between the 2007 and the 2008 TTs.

Am I missing something?

Are they identical?

New feature with Extended Nav Coverage.
There is a button to turn off the compressor on the A/C

Before just Econo
( Switches the system Off / On) but not completey Off

 

I guess I picked this up as a kid but when I see a car, especially one that I know well, ie , Porsche or Vettes I subconsciously figure out the year of the car and usually am very close.

BUT,

I ve been studying the 2008 TT pictures and if I passed one on the road I would pass as to what year it was.

There has to be an outside tell tale sign, just a small difference between the 2 model years.

If not, I can see some 2007 Owners saying they have a 2008!!! just kidding..

2008 TT

 

Why should an 08 look substantially different from an 07? Its only been out one year. So the "off" button isn't to turn off the a/c system? As it works on <08, you have to push the fan switch down until it turns off, but if you are in a hurry and make to many pushes, it'll turn back on. Dumb. I'd also like a dedicated lock and unlock button on the key and inside the car.

 

The off button just turns the compressor off , not the complete system

The system still runs but the compressor is off for more power

 

Very nice car! I like red tail lights but not that much on a silver car...ways better on white or black

 

The problem with the red tails is that there is a large area where the housing color is almost pink which makes the part look cheap.

I had these lights on mine and i hated it.

 

Liking the new tail lamps

 

they raised the price

 

But isn't that what the eco button do?

 

Eco button doesnt turn it completly off just cycles it on & off
