Default Spied: 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S

Not much change, but here are some spy shots of the 2009 CS

The only thing I don't quite like are the rear tail lights,
the droop on the baseline of the lights....

I wish they would get delete the big blinker in the front, like on the 996 front bumper.

You know, I really like what I have now. Unless Porsche is getting some incredible improvement in the MTBF on the lights, I don't see why they bother.

You can be sure that there will be hp and torque increases and PDK which will prompt people to trade even though the styling may not be quite to their liking.

I don't like the tail lights and the lines they project..also don't like the new turn signals.
The tail pipe lines are now broken up and made to look like a Pontiac...if I wanted that look I would buy a GM.

This may be a 2009, but I think you will be able to buy one sooner than August/Sept 2008. Maybe early next yr.

In my earlier thread "More Facelift Info", the article said the car would be intro'd at Frankfurt this Sept and for sale in early 08..but C&D says it's an 09???

I think the new dual clutch unit will be a big step ahead of the current tip plus the car is supposed to have about 17 more hp, then just add the X51 and you're at +/-400 hp.
