    997 turbo convertible!

    http://www.rtl.de/auto/news_893784.php

    (link was posted on elfer-club.de)

    this one is really weird, does it mean the convertible will follow the coupe very soon?

    cheers

    Re: 997 turbo convertible!

    Am I the only one who notice a weird thing about the pics?


    Right side of the car: There's a air intake

    Left side of the car: NO air intake !!!

    That thing must be pure camo...What's going on here

    Dilinger,

    What about the 997 Turbo S Cab? Do you think that will soon follow the Turbo Cab? And how many HP?

    Amazon, its the same car and there is intakes on both sides, its just that the intake starts just were the door ends so it looks as if there is no intake form that angle but if you look from the front you will see the intake.

    I believe the intakes seen here are camo still, and the real intakes are underneath and further back, closer to the engine, like in the 996TT.

    Curious that the latest Turbo mules have been running different wheels front v. back. Initially thought the fronts were GT3's, and thus 18's...but they appear to be new spoked style.
