Anyone hazard a guess whether Porsche will need to update the X51 Powerkit too to be compatible with this new setup?
As Direct Injection is supposed to yield anywhere from 5-25extra BHP let's guess at what the new performance figures will be. 0-100kph times:Current Carrera S (355bhp) = 4.8s Current Carrera S +X51 (381bhp) = 4.6s Facelift Carrera S (375bhp?) = 4.7s? Facelift Carrera S +X51 (400bhp?) = 4.5s? Facelift Carrera S +X51 +PDK (400bhp?) = 4.3s?
Porsche seem to like neat positioning of each model in the range so I assume that the Carrera S in any variant wont be faster than a GT3 (4.3s to 100kph), so perhaps my last listed setup will be limited to 4.4s?!
What do you think?

everytime i see the still facelift pictures released few months ago, i get a gut feeling this is one well made photoshop hoax. About the video release on utube...i am not sure. it is not very clear anyway.
does anyone share this instinct?

The difference between this board and others is that some members here have genuine (sometimes first-hand) information. Pay attention to who wrote what at which time in which language and you'll find out.
It's getting too easy to be a car journalist these days. Just repeat what appeared here first.

IMO the new design of the indicators make it look similar like a Boxster.

In the article above I read about "tweaked suspension and steering" plus "minor changes to cabin materials" for the first time.
As for the Boxster similarity: the Boxster will receive a facelift also (see thread in the Boxster Board).
Hence the 997 MK II might look like a 987 MK I

911 will look like a Boxster and Boxster will look like a 911. Seems as if there's something wrong in Zuffenhausen's styling department.

Don't be so harsh, Rossi. Even bad designers have to work SOMEWHERE .
