    Find it really something new! Somewhat special and you'll have to get used to the new look, but surely: different!

    Re: 997 facelift

    I wonder what the top speed will be on the "S" with PDK

    293km/h~ w/6-Spd Manual on the current "S"

    My guess 300km/h ~ 305km/h

    Add Power-Kit 310km/h ~ 315km/h

    The current X51 already does 300 km/h, so the standard S should be at least as fast. Regarding the powerkit, I doubt we'll see more than 305 km/h. That would seriously tick off many Turbo owners.

    The Specs tells about "18-inch Carrera IV wheel, 19-inch Carrera S II wheel".
    ...just like the wheels on the blue car???
    I don't like it very much..
    PS: I called this morning Porsche Italy to ask about Official News: the dealer confirmed me...nothing official 'til first week of June.

    mmmhhh...
    Having a better look they're not so bad...
    I think Turbo wheels are the best wheels ever made
    (but only in Porsche Turbo of course)

    I really don't know which kind to choose...
    bah....decisions decisions

    To each his own on that of course.
    Early-on there was a lot of push back on those wheels....and personally, if I had an in-bound Turbo, I'd change em out before she hit the streets.
    But, wheel preference is personal.
    Only opin that counts is yours.

    I have a feeling that the GT2 wheels will be included as an option for the facelift.

    Is that on a 911? Can anyone zoom in to read the numbers relating to the gear on the speedo - are there 7?

    Wheel is from a interior shot of Panamera.
    Could be a clue as to how the shift buttons may be configured

    Totally garish IMHO! On the other hand, better colour coordination + usual black/leather/carbon/aluminium packaging could dramatically change the situation

    Re: 997 facelift

    The dealer should have color swatches he can show you. Take those out into sunlight and the differences between Meteor and Slate should be very obvious. There was a post that talked about Slate being discontinued...
