Spy Shot's of the New 997 Turbo
#17
I don't think anything is "blowing away" the turbo at half the cost. Sure there are things that are a bit faster out there that cost less, but do they come with the same quality construction, do they look as nice, do they have any wow factor, 4 wheel drive, customization options, etc? You are getting things for your money. Besides, seriously who in the hell on here driving on public roads needs any more speed that what the turbo offers? If you need something with more speed for the track then buy a cup car or something. There is very little out there that is as user friendly, good looking, fast, etc as the 911 and that applies to any variation of the 911 not just the turbo.
And theres the new GTR coming out to..

I currently own a 1996 993 C4, it is my 12th Porsche, after many different P-cars i find the current turbo amazing.I just drove the 997TT for 3 days, @ 200 miles total , mountain roads and open highway, it just simply does everything well.I know the guys over on the GT3 board say it is too "soft" but i think for the real world there is not a better all around sports car available at any price.Before anyone starts talking about this car they need to first spend a few days behind the wheel. No one needs any more power than this vehicle unless they are going to race on a track, professionally.

If I passed this car on the highway I d never know it was a newer generation TT.
Why dont they do something more dramatic?
I am not going to trade mine in unless its obvious I have a newer TT.
The 996 to the 997 TT was a dramatic body style change.

Don't really notice any difference thats substantial (at least regarding the exterior). i suppose there will be some "goodies" under the hood like direct injection, and a sequential gearbox? Notice how large the gaps are around the rear lenses? i know its just a prototype but it almost looks like they fit those new led lenses on a 2008 body? i am sure things will be perfected when the new model comes out which last i heard (rumor) is 1 year after the standard Carrera gets it. That should be coming shortly like this Sept or sooner?
