    Re: Porsche 911 Turbo Facelift Almost Undisguised

    while the date on this article is Nov 07, I don't recall seeing this much detail on improvements anywhere else. Not sure where I found the link but found it cleaning up my bookmarks. I've had my 08 TT for a few weeks now and have to honestly say that if the updates are limited to this, DFI and the loss of F1 engine, then I'm sure glad that I bought when I did. http://axisofoversteer.blogspot.com/2007/11/die-luddites-die-997-mkii-with-dsg.html

    I don't really think that this is a "real" facelift car, more of an prototype to test new engine, technique, exhaust,..... or whatsoever. Some kind of a test mule....



    +1..lets hope not. i think the brake lights look like a pinball machine when lite. happy with mine just the way it is.

    Re: Porsche 911 Turbo Facelift Almost Undisguised

    In 08 vs 07 models there seem to be quite a few (maybe minor differences)in the suspension including PASM control unit, front sway bar and rear shock. Sadly the PTM control unit seems to be the same..

    So yes there are already differences/improvements that P are introducing to the turbo slowly and silently... I bet the facelift will feature more upgrades..

    Oh oh... .

    Geez, I sure hope they are not the "variable output (?)" LED brake lights.

    You know..., the ones which get brighter and brighter depending on how hard you hit the brakes.

    I have to (we all have to?) slam on brakes "frequently" when I'm "speeding" and see a possible cop or road hazard (fortunately and intensionally no one is ever close behind me when I do it).

    I'd hate to announce to nearby cops or other motorists that I just went into "panic mode" eveytime I slam on the brakes because they output 100K candlepower!

    I dont know, the way the led's are lit up on the Turbo the lights dont follow anything. It's a real mess imo. You have the added lines of the new shaped lens, then the lines from the white & red colored lens, then the led lights in different shapes all going in different directions, it's enough to make you dizzy. Hopefully final production looks much different than these shots.

    I agree. I prefer the current tail-lights. Too much going on in the new ones.

    I suspect those lights still have tape on them, that could be why the image appears to be partially lit.

    The shame old whining and ranting going on. You guys haven't even seen it without disguise and you are already complaining. Fall back, relax and wait until the tail lights don't have and camo on them. Geez

    As always everyone shuts up ones the official images are out.

    I actually hope it will look the way we think it will, because I like the new tail lights. It just seems that the facelift is very minor.
