Sorry for the quite empty info but thats all I could find. Im also sorry for the pic, it had a problem loading. I think it would be better to add 997 MKII on the name. The Porsche gets better suspension and the chrono package helps acceleration.

Anonymous 07/06/08, 07:13:29
I know there gonna update the 911 turbo with 20 up to 500 know, maybe theyll call it he turbo s. and im sure theyll add 20 more to the gt2 to make it 550 instead of 530 but does anyone know if the gt3 will geta a 20 bhp boost up to 435 or somthing like that i hope so.

Georg 07/06/08, 07:33:40
The car gets this year to the market..selling start in Germany is 4th July, delivery start in Germany September 2008...

Heyhuub 07/06/08, 16:23:21
Amazing how much torque they get from that engine.

Anonymous 07/06/08, 18:09:53
Indeed - about 110nm/l, amongst the best out there 114nm/l M3 CSL, 113nm/l M3(E46), RS Clio III 107,5 nm/l.

Anonymous 07/06/08, 18:12:09
112,5 nm/l 997 GT3

Georg 07/06/08, 18:17:20
I have read that Porsche again will offer a factory perfromanc kit (X51 option) for the Carrera S with 415hp from the same engine. It will be avaible somewere in the first year.

PhantomPorsche 07/06/08, 19:03:18
That sounds good 415hp and the PDK with sport chrono package. And the GT3 is expected to recieve 450 horsepower. Thanks for the corrections and pictures that would not load up for me.

FastestLaps 18/06/08, 17:19:26
7:50 at Nordscheliefe. Impressive! But that is with PDK dual clutch 7 speed tranny.

Wads 18/06/08, 19:11:44
Yes the link says the 7:50 was with a PDK car with the standard 6 speed being 8 seconds slower: "Porsche says its twin-clutch-equipped 2009 911 Carrera S lapped the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:50. A six-speed manual-equipped 2009 911 ran 8 seconds slower." Of course Porsche will want the PDK to be seen as quicker as it will be a nice costly option to make more money ;)

Riice 19/06/08, 01:02:20
8 seconds quicker...god damnnn..lol porsches are excellent cars round the ring..

PPOORRSSCCHHEE 13/07/08, 19:12:55
550hp gt2 with pdk and dfi it will get the best production car time on the ring

Georg 23/07/08, 20:55:32
corrected the acceleration numbers to the one Autozeitung recived(see laptime sourcepool)... they got the Carrera S to 4.4s stick shift.. thats 0.3s faster as factory claimed.

Heyhuub 25/07/08, 18:05:58
Damn this car is fast, imagine what the facelifted GT3/Turbo will do.

PhantomPorsche 05/08/08, 13:12:15
Someone, please add the Facelift Carrera 4 and 4S. I dont have time to add it my self ... vacation and almost no access to a computer.

Anonymous 06/09/08, 18:24:49
This thing beat the much more powerful all wheel drive GT-R in a drag race! http://www.drivers-republic.com/dr_tv/index.cfm?videoid=ae4bbc2e 3a7349c9aba594c58978034e&area=features AMAZING!

Anonymous 06/09/08, 19:07:57
didnt expect the 911 to do 60 in 3.9..lol but those acceleration times for the gtr were pitiful.. and no it didnt beat it in a drag race it got ahead, but dodnt beat it..

Anonymous 06/09/08, 19:16:43
It DID beat it. It got ahead and stood there. 0-60 in 3.9 is no surprise. Thanks to PDK it shifted from 1st to 2nd in no time.

Anonymous 07/09/08, 07:15:50
these new pdk are somthing else. imagine what the new 997 911 Turbo and the 997 911 GT3 and the 997 911 GT2 will be whoooo..lol

Antimithy fraser 06/11/08, 10:21:18
the 911 997 carrera s facelift is going to be the mighty m6 beater i can tell becaause the new 997 911 carrera comes with a great pdk transmittion and has world class handalling its not that expensive ether it only costs around 75000USD

Andrew heyman 06/11/08, 10:26:18
there just updating the 997 generation 911 carrera because audi has brought out a new car called the audi r8 thats better than a 911 997 carrera.porsche tolk this as a wake up call and updated the 997 911 carrera so they could make it better than an audi r8.

carl brown 06/11/08, 10:34:41
as if the current 911 997 carrera wasnt great enough.it was so good i did nt think they could make it any better but here it isthe awsome new facelifted 911 997 carrera it is so good i want a facelifted 911 997 carrera s with the pdk transmition.it is so good imagine what you could do with this car. you could use it evryday use and you could take to your closet track and drive it really quick. or you could drive it through country roads would nt that be nice.the new facelift 911 997 carrera s looks so beutifull and it can beat any aston martin jaguar or maserati.
