Re: HOT: Pictures of 997 Facelift!!!!
I believe the power increase will be a maximum of 15bhp, probably more like 10bhp.

I find it rather surprising when people still talk about tradition when it comes to sales, why did Porsche increase the engine capacity of the cayenne from 4.5 to 4.8 was that tradition. When sales are down tradition is left on the backburner and whatever it takes for sales to go up will be done.You guys are saying that if the increase is 25hp it would be too close to the X51 have you ever thought that the X51 would push the hp to 400hp. I know what you are thinking too close to the GT3 correct ! Do you know the reason why the new lights are not going to be on the GT3 correct there is ging to be a facelift with more power later, same for the turbo, expect a turboS with facelift lights, GT2 same thing in due course. Was the Cayennes ever more powerful than a 911 (cayenneS -340 up 385, CarreaS 355 up o at least 25 - 380, powerkit 400hp) Because of the lightweight of the GT3 porsche are not bothered about having a 400hp powerkit next to the GT3 obviously the drive will be different. So as earlier reiterated, facelift sept 07, power up by 20 -25hp. (Can you feel the difference if the power is upgraded by 10hp ? come on lets be realistic

Sad thing, people only expect a 25hp increase. Thus it will be only 15 in line with P tradition's of underwhelming people. The 997S needs 380hp and the base needs 350 right now.
No LED, iPod hookup or bluetooth? This is 2007. All these are available on $20,000 cars right now, but not on $80k+ cars? What is the point of P making 2bio EUR a year if not to introduce new technologies faster? They have to wake up quick, because soon, outside of the US with subsidized prices, they are going to loose massive sales.

Just spoken to my dealer again whole is fielding this question every other call according to him. They had Porsche Head office with them last week and were told categorically that the facelift wouldnt be available until end 2008. They may show it at Frankfurt but thats straight from Porsche. Ive been waiting to trade in my Nov 2004 997s for afacelift so guess waiting another year. Dealer is Porsche Centre Hatfield
