What am i missing this thing looks exaclty the same ?

I only notice tail lights perhaps?

 

I doubt they would don anything major, the 996TT wasnt changed. If anything they would get to follow the 997 Non fi cars are the new tail lights and the availability of a X50 kit by Porsche Exclusive.

 

Expected fascia mods due spring '08 or early summer '08 as '09 models for late summer release. Could see something a bit more dramatic along the back edge of the car.

 

DJ,
Look at the openings above the LED turn signals, you will see that they go in towards the front licence plate further.

Still no PDK/DSG ?

nice find!
good eye!

 

It's coming. Could be an '09 option.

And as for the openings...not really a change there:

From StickShifts new Slate Turbo vs the spy shot:

 

Hi Eric

Any more inside info on this ?
And the possibility % that it will be in 2009

Thanks
Mike

 

My guess is 2008 March/April.

 

what about PDK(paddles)?
thanks

 

From the info I've read, the new systems will have paddles and every model is getting them from boxter to cayenne to cayman to carrera to the GT cars (including the upcomming GT1). None of that from the horse's mouth of course.

What Car? and Motor Authority. Mention of paddle shift came out a long time ago (which I got flack for reporting by other "experts" on this forum). Dual Clutch is all about speed in shifting. Can't imagine why anyone would design one without a steering wheel based shifter since that would be the fastest way to shift while driving.

or not.

 

Anybody has any reliable info on when they will be launching the PDK/DSG ?

I heard that they were having heat issues before, which delayed the introduction

Eric,
Look a little closer to the front opening and you will notice the radius on the top side of the opening.

Oh yes, I know it's there, it's just miniscule in terms of a change.

And usually we're looking at spy shots of oddments that were dumped from the parts dept at PAG and just slapped on there, especially when they are doing front/rear fascia mods.

The rumor is 997 but not sure on turbo yet, but turbo could go to 500hp with DFI, along with better fuel mileage.
