    my spy pics

    i know these will be available shortly and most of the details are well known , none the less it was fun seeing an assortment of 13 black porsches this weekend in durango , co. , complete with german speaking minders , mechanics, engineers etc.....porsche uses this location a lot for vehicle testing in the greatest driving enviornment anywhere, imo.

    lets see...the 997 big mirrors dont look any better in person...nor do the quirky dipped taillights on all the models...led's takem or leavem....the new 997 headlights look great...and the illusive red band at the back was taped up on carrera s and the targa the red you see is just small pieces of plastic attached on either side of where the band will evidently be located , it's not very wide...im not sure what this means but the caymens had 2 different exhaust outlet configurations, heck maybe they already do,

    in visting with a mechanic he indicated they had been in flagstaff and i believe were headed toward the canyonlands...he indicated they were going home this coming friday denver/stutgartt direct, a charter?....when i asked the young mechanic if they brought much in the way of parts and tools he said no...you know these cars dont break

    They are out there somewhere getting paid to have more fun than im having today or probably tomorrow...unless i was to try and find them in the tt

    Thanks for sharing.

    Re: my spy pics

    It's interesting they hide/cover all the Porsche insignia, notice the wheel caps, but they forget to cover the insignia on the steering wheel.......
    PS - Nice find

    Re: my spy pics

    The Cayman and Boxster ones are particularly interesting as the others are now officially released. Thanks for sharing.

    Re: my spy pics

    Great job! I wonder if those Caymans have the new engine design w/ DI and how much power.

    Re: my spy pics

    Thanks!

    Re: my spy pics

    Are those the new FL Caymans/Boxsters?

    Re: my spy pics

    Nice find, thanks .

    Re: my spy pics

    Cool. Do you have more pics of the Caymans? I'd like the front-end and headlights and if possible underneath of the Caymans.

    Re: my spy pics

    Cool pics! Must have been spy pic heaven
    Seraphim: yes, look at the rear lights, you can see the tape over the bottom of the rear lights cluster, to make it resemble the current boxster/cayman.
    Ezzie, the targa's are not yet released. Too bad that those will also get the stripe

    Well, the Targa 4's have not been 'officially released' yet, so I'm glad to see pictures of those to verify what I had 'assumed'. Nothing on them on the microsite yet, and when I called Porsche USA they could only tell me whats in the press releases, so about Targa, "I NO NUZZING!" was the response I got from Atlanta.

    Re: my spy pics

    cool

    Re: my spy pics

    Great pics! They are cool!

    Re: my spy pics

    from picture n* 6 seems the front light of boxster are covered with a paper that "loooks" like a headlight,maybe the style under the paper cover is different


    here the pics of cayman

    Re: my spy pics

    Strange that they have the Cayman FL ready when it is reportedly to be released feb-march '09.

    Why would they have FL caymans ready to go now? Anyone get shots of the interior?

    Andrea,
    You are right: what you see of the headlights is not the headlight itself, but a picture of a headlight, covering what is in the headlight unit (the outline of the unit can be clearly seen though). Hopefully they made it like the CGT headlights? Would be kinda cool, but I suspect it will have something to do with LEDs and cornering lights though.

    Enzo911 , could you tell us more about your pics. of red and black car . That exhaust system on black car is different from the red one - is that new PSE ??

    Re: my spy pics

    Photo 7 Carrera4 with no "bumperettes", wish they were all like that in the US... I still don't get why the Porsche models need them in the US but other similar sports cars don't. Anyone know ??

    Re: my spy pics

    Nice pic`s. I would like a job flying around the world driving P-cars in different environments! Some folks have it tough.

    Re: my spy pics

    They put a Cockster front end on a 911.

    Re: my spy pics

    here is, maybe, the first picture of the targa without camo
