2009 Porsche 911 Turbo Cabrio facelift
#11
Probably about the same timing for me or a little longer. My build spot is November plus the 3-6 month extra for paint to sample. So hopefully in the Spring! I'll definitely have one more winter on the C4S.

I'm supposed to get a report from Spain on Sat when this is all released to the dealers. Will post as soon as I have it.
PDK is not ready for prime time - the word is it can't take the torque of the turbo (yet) but I'm sure they are hard at work on that one. Though I'm a stick guy, I understand the demand will be quite high for PDK on the TT.
Big questions are whether they stay with a GT1 block or go to the M97, and any other minor changes. Hope to have full report by Sunday.

Following this month’s reveal of the new facelifted 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera and Carrera S models comes latest spy shots of the updated Turbo Cabrio model due at the end of the year. It will be hard to spot the difference between the new and the old as the spy images reveal because most of the planned changes will be taking place under the sheet-metal.
The facelifted 911 Turbo range is expected to get an extra 20hp (15kW). Power levels will likely fall close to the 500hp (373kW) mark, which combined with the quick-shifting Doppel Kupplung (dual clutch) gearbox should ensure quicker acceleration and track times. Visually, the car is being enhanced with larger front air intakes and new fog-lights in the front bumper, giving a more aggressive look. At the rear are a new set of LED taillights and a new diffuser similar to that on the new GT3.

I know that from the pics of the C4/S it really looks horrible!!! Maybe in real life its better. I'd just rather not have it.

I just hate that wing. I wish they would do something more subtle like the RT12. I'm kinda suprised that you don't see more modded cars with the RT12 wing like on Rami's TurboR.
Do the side air ducts look larger as well or am I imagining that? They are still way uglier than on the 996TT.
