Re: New pics of 911 Facelift...
Thanks for the photos. Don't miss the complete collection (19 photos) on http://www.leftlanenews.com/porsche-911-future.html
I really like what they've done to the section behind the rear wheel. Looks a lot better than the current 997.

You guy just made me realize that the Front Indicator Lights will probably look like the Cayenne GTS, horizontally elongated. They Look covered with a plastic film. Check it out, what do you think?
Could you explain that a little bit more?

BTW, just spoke to my dealer. He basically confirmed what we already know: Carrera 2 is due within the next months, Carrera 4 models will come later, what means November or so.
Power increase at the S expected to be 25 to 30 hp.
But there's a catch: according to his newest info, PDK is NOT ready from the start. He couldn't say when this tranny will be introduced.

back lights is all camouflaged, what you see is silver sticker, red and black in the bottom.. the only parts showing are the LEDs. look closely at both lights they don't look identical
Great catch! You are right! Maybe they will be all red?

No need for an all-red-rearlight-option, guess Porsche shows up with all-white-rearlight-option called "icelights" for double price then.
Make your 997FL something special, give it a hint of your neighbour's Aston Martin...

Maybe Porsche will wait until even Tata offers DSG on their cars
I really wouldn't be surprised if Tata comes first.
Re: New pics of 911 Facelift...
Well, my interpretation is that this is a mistake. On the press site, porsche accidentally placed the update of the 997 GT3 RSR race car in the category of normal roadcars. This could mean two things:
1. They just placed it in the wrong menu
2. They placed it in the wrong menu, because the guy building their website mistook this announcement for the announcement of the RSR road version.
Personally, I wouldn't know what we need a GT3, a GT3 rs and a GT3 rsr for (other than homologation model). So, I highly doubt that it will come. However, we're still talking about Porsche "I have a crave for as many different variants as possible", so nothing is impossible :-S

Thank you JOOST,
If it's true, it's insane.
Since the time but it may be possible in 1974 watching RSR 2.8 L and 964 rs 3.8 l models with different engine and very track oriented,
I think this must porsche out of this model to keep the flame of passion that every has in him.
FABIO can you tell me more ...?
Dream it's so good ....

No need to introduce the RSR for homologation, as the GT3 is homologated.
The RSR is the ACO's GT2 classification fo the GT3 homologation.
I know this sounds confusing but think of it this way:
The ACO has homologated the Porsche GT3 road car, and the RSR is the race version of that car.

@Rossi: jooo... tell me where I can buy those colored rearlights for my 997!
I'm always wondering how many supplemental 3rd party lights you can order for any ugly small car in the world. But for our Sportcars there is no 3rd party provider at all.
Porsche has the all-red taillights as an accessory.
No need to find a third party.
