Folks-

Probably old news. The Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG/S-Tronic) and X50 power upgrade will be options on the 2009 997 Turbo, possibly power upgrade available earlier.

RC at Rennteam may know more.

Do you know if the new bluetooth package and touchscreen GPS will be available then too??

 

will that actually be available?

 

brnsrgn-

I don't know for sure, but IPod and Satellite Radio will come as options. Some form of wireless connectivity will be available, but this is not as certain.

FWIW - Gerry

 

Thanks for the notification.

 

Hey Gerry, you mean MY09 ?

How sure are you about this info, I am in particular are very very very interested in the DSG/PDK

Mike

 

been waiting a long time for DSG, hope this is true

 

DSG will be a great if Porsche introduce it. But felt bad for those who already got Tip though, the resale value will be affect for sure.

 

Yes but still no tangible proof it will be in MY09

Can anybody give any more proof of that ?

Mike

 

Mike2727-

No definative proof yet, except that I do provide that well known Stuttgart company in Germany with defibrillators and other medical expertise and equipment. Maybe I heard something there! (or not?).

Cheers - Gerry

 

Thanks for the infos...

so the facelifted tt must be MY2009?

my dealer said there are nothing change for the 08, just the new seats and colored wheel crest options.

so DFI, LED, 500HP, Bluetooth and iPod interface must be included for the 09?

 

I highly doubt it. Nothing has been said just speculation. We will have to wait and see. I suggest(like I always do) that no one gets excited and waits and sees. Pics will surface way before there is an announcement they always do!

 

really?

i think that isn't a good marketing way, that will kind of hurt there sales.

 

^^^ Hasnt really hurt them so far. Seems like they really dont care!

 

Thanks, I guess it will be wait and see again.

IMO in the long term it might hurt their sales, Porsche has become a different Company, with a lot more models etc, they want to grow, my believe is that if they want to do so they should provide more info

Although the 997TT is a great car, they do not have a monopoly, more and more viable alternatives are coming to market, some at a lower price or with better specs
