Those are the old x51 kit hp numbers: x51 on 3.6L =345 hp and on 3.8L=381 hp! DFI wasn't required to get those increases before. What a rip!
While that may be true, there should be more torque available throughout the rev range in the newer engines.

And you can be sure that the price will increase in the amount of the X51 package

No way. I'll wager against that! Do you really think that Porsche will increase the 911S by $17,000 in the states?

It's not all about power. I think one of the main advantages of the DFI is reduced fuel consumption.

From April 2008
997 345hp
997S 380hp
Paris 2008
997 Turbo 505hp pdk & 997 GT3 435hp psm+pdk
also available 20" wheels
Is that true?
I am waiting for the PDK RS for long time, I want both now!
DFI and PDK for RS are awesome! Now that's closer to a racing car.
I wish the RS will release within 1 year.
I will take the manual turbo and PDK RS.

so are we saying a MKII GT3 will be released in April 08 with PDK & 435bhp ?
Nope - I think by mentioning "Paris 2008" Andrea wants to say that the car will be introduced to the public at the Paris Autosalon which will take place from 4-19 October 2008. Hence market launch should be in Spring 2009.

so that's mean at least wait 1 yr for the RS.

do you know when is the RS release after the GT3?
I remember almost the same time isn't it?

Introduction seems to be in Paris 2008, but I guess you will get the car right away, earlier than spring 2009.

+1 Hopefully before 09.
Can't wait for the PDK RS, I just found a new lover.
Re: *****997 Facelift info & specs******
I THINK THE NUMBER 1 REASON IN EUROPE FOR THE DFI IS LOWER CO2 AND LOWER FUELCONSUMPTION THIS IS A BIG ISSUE HERE IN EUROPE WITH A HEFTY FINE 
IF THE CO2 EMISSION IS ABOVE FIXED NORM IN HOLLAND THE FINE FOR A CAYENNE IS APPROX 14K EURO AND 8K EURO ON AVERAGE FOR THE 911 AND FOR A HUMMER 
30000 EURO!!!
