The 993 life was short, I think about 5 years. The 996 has been around for 5 now, but I think that the 997 will be an evolution of the 996 whereas the 996 was a revolution compared to the 993.
Rounder shaped lights (although not round IMO)
Better interior (Cayenne influence)
More power but not too much (Unfortunately) I'm betting on 360hp max with an expensive power kit to 390. Any thoughts?
As for your suggestion Ron, humm, I dunno to be honest.
What you're saying is, they keep the 996 and bring out the 997 only as a widebody model and Turbo???
I think that like the previous models, the Turbo will be discontinued, and they will start from scratch.
Carrera, then one year later, Carrera 4, one year later the Cabs 2 and 4 and GT3, one year later, Turbo, one year later, GT2, one year later, 4S and Targa, history repeats itselfs
As much as I'd love to see a Turbo cab and a C4S cab, I agree with RC, I don't think we'll see one. I hope I'm wrong but from a marketing point of view, doesn't make sense.
Maybe a last ultimate version on the 996: A 345hp C4S cab
I think the so called Turbo Cab and C4S cab we saw pics of on the Ring could well 997 prototypes. In which case, Porsche will have fooled us pretty well.
But again, I'd be the first one happy to sign up for a 450hp Turbo Cab
although a 500hp Gallardo roadster sounds good too
Fanch.
