Re: Turbo Cab. shots
Great find Ron!
Lol, Why do they even bother camouflageing the 997 turbo cab? By putting tape on it, even the greates car-ignorant can see that it is something special... if you don't put it on, most people won't even notice that it is something special!
Great also to see pics of the Targa 4 and Targa 4S (clearly visible under the masking tape

Re: Turbo Cab. shots
love the wheels blacked out this really helps the factory wheels ... and of course black is the color for this car with piano black exclusive and carbon CGT seats on the inside w/ pccb's and factory delvery with Adriana Lima by your side ...
so waht is that about 160 out the door .. still half the price of a spyder in the US ..... Almost looks like a 997speedster from this angle

I think the regualer painted wheels are MUCH more attractive. The black ones look washed out completely and just get "lost" visually.
Can someone try and P-shop the stock wheels on this pic??

Re: Turbo Cab. shots
Remember, those wheels are likely just camo-blacked out, not typical super factory paint job Black, though the factory paintwork on wheels from Porsche usually sucks, is very thin, chips easily, etc.
But most of their testing vehicles have that same blacked out look, but it is muted, appears to be a simple spray/matte finish, not gloss factory finish.
I'm not a huge fan of black wheels, but on some colors schemes it does work well.

Sure...
He meant a photoshop, not a copy/past a 5 year old could do
Blame the photoshop art on Crash and Throt
...back at the "matching colour exhaust shroud paintoff", not to be confused with the okay coral..

Re: Turbo Cab. shots
Picking up on Paul's fine photoshopping and davew's eye for [humorous] detail, but it looks like 3 wheel steering, since the driver's side rear wheel still seems pointed forward. This must be some new development--perhaps it will be introduced along with the tubro S, PDK, iPod connectivity, 2008 facelift and turbokit.

What a beast they really out did themselves with this ... worth the wait
I really like the looks of the cabriolets in the basic, old fashioned 997S version

And that's exactly what Porsche wants!

I agree. My 997 S Cab is lookin kinda weak compared to the way the turbo cab looks. Everything from the wider fenders, bigger tires, rear wing and everything else makes my car look like the girly man version.
