Nice catch.
Other than the lights, what's new on the rear?
Good to know about the PDK. I thought the turbo would get it too. I assume the GT3 will get it as well.
Did you get a look at the front at all?
Yes, the front looked exactly the same as in the current turbo..it didnt even have the active lights with the two lenses... the wheels looked slightly different then the normal turbo wheels...
regarding PDK, i couldnt imagine that they put in the same version lever and paddles in the GT3 as in the TT or carrera..
dont know but that would def surprise me...

Thanks for sharing.
Looks like the turbo gets the red stripe in the back too.
actually the turbo in the picture definately didnt have any indication for a red stripe. i mean i am not saying it will not get it, but this one for sure didnt have one.
The two little red reflectors are mounted, just like on the carrera because the sticker foil on top of the new LED lights prevent the reflectors to work properly.
I could clearly see that this car had a solid hood, with no stickers or anything covering a possible reflector stripe...

Look closely at the last picture in the leftlanenews link: A keen eye from a rennlist member-from the underbelly of the car appears to be the sump setup from the pseudo-dry sump NA 997 motor rather than the GT1-based dry sump we have all been discussing recently. First photo evidence of the FL 997TT tossing out the GT1 motor.

Re: 997 TT Cab Facelift pics
Al,
I guess my guy was right about the GT1 engine being canned.

Thanks for link for pics Ron.
Here's the FL rear end compared to the original.
Hummmm..., looks interesting. Notice the change in exhaust tips:
I can't decide which looks better. I still fear "floppy."
IMO none looks very beautiful.
But, if someone can tolerate the old look I cannot see how he can dislike the FL look.
Re: 997 TT Cab Facelift pics
OK...i am confused. The article said 2009 Turbo cab. Thought the turbo didnt get the facelift until MY10. Am very interested since my order for a MY09 turbo cab just went in yesterday. By the way the MY09 still having the reliable GT1 engine was a factor :-)
Re: 997 TT Cab Facelift pics
I did not think it possible, but they've managed to make the exhaust tip even uglier than before! It's proportionally way too big for the car & has an even more complicated shape. Does not fit the fairly round line and classic shape of the Turbo at all.
Someone ought to be fired for this.

One can see that they curved off the lower inside border of each exhaust outlet just like they did to the tail light setup to make harmony between exhaust and tail light shape.
While the exhaust tips can be easily changed with an aftermarket exhaust, the tail lights cannot....
Re: 997 TT Cab Facelift pics
Thanks Al; I saw that too. I am glad Porsche didn't use that same "design principle" for the bumperettes. 
How I yearn for s-i-m-p-l-e, R-O-U-N-D tips!
