    Haven't you been checking out the thread: "HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!" That's probably the best place to find pictures of the facelift.

    You're a bit behind the times. The 'facelift' shots to which you are referring are of the 998,--probably out in 2009 or 2010. Porsche is selling everyone of the 997 cars with two shifts working in Zuffenhausen (150 a day),--why bother with some changes? Besides, the real show will be the Panamera,--out in 09. They're banking on that to be a big seller. Then back to the cash cow 911.

    I (we all) hope you're right Dan.

    OTOH, it wouldn't surprise me a bit if they lost the trendy pointy-oval tailights really quickly though. When I first saw them I nearly choked on my drink.

    Seems crazy that Porsche would change the 997 so soon but I guess stranger things happen.

    Agreed. I believe these are 2008 997 changes. The 998 will likely have more changes than what we're seeing on the internet.
    I would also believe the rumors that a h.p. increase of 15-20 is likely.

    Yeah...sure...wait and buy the MY 2050 version...it surely will be better.

    Seriously: first, please avoid CAPS in a title...unless you can provide new facelift pictures yourself. Second, if you're looking for facelift info, please add a questionmark.

    We will enforce board rules much stricter than we did before because slowly but steady, our forums start to become a kiddy playing ground. Sorry to say that.

    Re: New 997 Facelift?

    Anyone know if after a facelift with a small power jump, what Porsche then do about a Powerkit (X51) that goes with the facelift?

    Does it mean a 997.5 with Powerkit will be about 355+15+26=396 bhp?

    Or does it mean they have already added some of the Powerkit components to get the extra 15-20bhp in the first place?!

    Re: New 997 Facelift?

    Your math seems to be about right. I could only guess but if they add 15 ponies and that's a big if because they could add a mere 5, I'm sure they would still have the X51 option available.
