Info on the new 911

Did you guys see the short article on page 28 of April's Road & Track? In short it says the next generation 911 is due in late 2009 and it will have 5% increase in fuel economy and up to 10% increase in power. So I guess the 998 is in 2010 and the face lifted 997 has a two year run? Or are they speaking of the face lifted 997?

Sorry I don't have a scanner.

997 update...

PANORAMA MAGAZINE February 2007 issue, page 63:

Porsche has released some advanced information on 2008 models that may get us all primed for purchase. For starters, the 911 will get direct injection as well as an optional dual-clutch for the manual transmission. The dual-clutch transmission allows for shifts without the need to lift power. The new injection, called DFI, is expected to increase mileage by ten percent. The Carrera S gets a horsepower boost to 370 bhp, up from 355. Designwise, the front end will receive a facelift via a larger intake, and the rear will feature a revised lighting system.
