I wish they'd offer a M/T as well. I'd love to see that new 'blue' color tho. Looks hot! Especially with the yellow calipers of the PCCB's.....

Same Feeling ..... The car looks very quiet to me, needed more muscles

The base Turbo S will cost you approx $450,000 on the road in Australia.

The more I look at it the more I am underwhelmed. I am sure it will be a great drive. Just not distinguished enough. Why not special front and rear a la GT2? I mean I have 520 in my Cayman, HP is not evrything, just saying....
I am fine with the PDK, most likely the next tt will have PDK for me. I would get a GT3 for shifting and just slamming the car.

Well, the Turbo S is based on the new DFI block, not the GT1 Block of the 997mkI GT2. So I says nope.

you`ll probably right. But i hope there are different turbos compared to standard turbo, bigger IC etc etc. I dont mind that it looks the same but there has to be some difference enginge wise, not just a new tune that makes 30hp more. Otherwise i dont really see the point of this car.

Sad face.

j/k- All joking a side remember Porsche does 'evolutionary changes' not revolutionary. You don't want to offer a Porsche that so plainly disregards your Chassis brothers.

Different chassis, sure. But not the same chassis. It's supposed to be the pinnacle of 997 evolution.

-And it is.

If you want 100% different, I'd say you'd have to wait until either the 998 er what ever they're going to call it or the 999?!
