I really hope they will pull something good out of their hat, including a significant hp bump. Otherwise I hear a ZO6 calling.

I wonder if they move the ones on the bumper to the mirrors like the '15 cayenne?

a safe assumption given the X51 powerkit...

I cannot imagine it will lose weight, somewhere between C4S and C2S I should imagine (for the 2WD version at least)

huh?

oh wait I see what you mean, there is a thin strip on the driving mirror!

Looks like the new Cayenne also has this strip on its mirrors, *and* I suspect we wil also see the 918/Macan/Cayenne new steering wheel offered too!

Total guesswork on my behalf, if it is launched as a MY2016, production usually starts I believe (but I could be wrong) in June for the new/next model year,
so the latest it could be offered for ordering would be around 3 months prior to that, i.e: latest 03/15... as for the earliest, well if its launched
at L.A in Nov, I would say that it might become available to order before the end
of the year... only time will tell.

New door handles too. Looks like a combination of plastic and chrome.

looks like there is still some camouflage on parts of the car, especially the back bumper and grille

its all very positive, but still no independent confirmation of an L.A Launch

We might need to wait another couple of weeks for that. Although,judging by this mule,I'd say the launch is pretty darn close,so LA might actually be it!

If that's the schedule, what a great ED for August!

That supposed improved rear grill better come with some significant HP boost because it's really ugly...like steam-punk like ugly.
