Yes, the facelift C2 and C2S are already up on the Porsche Canada website. The pre-facelift C4, C4S, GTS, and Targa have all been removed from the website.

No configurator yet, but the base prices are there:

991.2 C2: $102,200
991.2 C2S: $118,200

Interesting to me that the price of the C2 is about the same as before, but the price of the C2S has gone up noticeably (I think pre-facelift price was around $110,000 or so).

Definitely more performance bang for the buck in the base Carrera with now standard PASM. The Carrera S with PDK and sport chrono is now faster in terms of acceleration than the previous 991 GTS with PDK, so I think the more expensive pricing of the C2S reflects that......my guess is there won't be a 991.2 GTS. The C2S has the option of rear wheel steering too, again making this likely a very fast car on the track.....maybe even close to 991 GT3 levels, if equipped with sticky tires.

The turbo 3.0 engine is heavier than the previous naturally aspirated engines, though. Obviously much more torque than before, making these cars likely "faster" in city driving. And obviously more efficient.

Is this the first life of the 3.0 turbo? Or has this block appeared in racing already? What do we know about the motor? I haven't read into any of this yet and thought one of you guys surely did...

The center pipes come with the "Sport Exhaust System" option.

There was one on top of the display in Zuffenhausen in the middle of the street...they had forgotten to cover it Also a bunch of boxster speedsters coming off the line.
Old fashioned that I am i will stick with my old NA strategy for now. They will of course be great cars.
