Another article about the car:
Porsche unveils facelifted 2010 911 Turbo packing 500 horsepower — Autoblog

So its all new on the inside, but outside nothing (besides taillights) has changed? Maybe its just the color of the interior form DJ's post, but that steering wheel is awful IMO.

Good looking machine.

Looks like the wheel designers have been on vacation....puke ugly. Easily remedied.

Otherwise the only thing I'd have liked to see is a nicer steering wheel. Not a pdk customer here anyway, but I'm liking what I see thus far.

Hope they tweaked the exhaust note, and offer sport exhaust as an option too. Oh, and how 'bout ventilated adaptive sport seats already?

Scary part is whether Porsche is hedging currency.

157k Euro = $225,000!

The stock wheels are brutal (yuck!). It looks good with the RS Spyder wheels.

I like the paddles too! Nice car.

the centerlock wheels are ok but the other set of wheels is just NOT what a 997TT should roll on

Munich and Stuttgart obviously share ideas

My $180k list '08 turbo cab is worth exactly $120k to trade.

Hope volkswagen isn't expecting a lot of late model guys to trade up for *gulp* 17 extra ponies.

Exactly why i couldn't give a shit about this new model, nor the new GT3 - i could pay 35-40% less for an already amazing (used) car without a few improvements than buy a new one.

Coochas looks like a brilliant man with his custom-order 2009 Turbo... all the good stuff (BT, etc.) and none of the nonsense.

hmmmm, where is the Launch display on the wheel? Just picked my car up from TPC, with just a few "tweaks" out of Mike's magic box I have 500hp at the wheels with stock exhaust, coolers and turbos. Not too excited about the changes, like the center lock wheels though.

Not to go off topic, but why would you want a stock exhaust with increased boost? It is already restrictive at stock boost levels. Just my 2 cents.
