Default 911 facelift for 2009

A document that certainly looks like the real thing has been leaked to the internet. It is all over the show and a bit old news, but I did not see any comments here so I am posting it up.

One link to the 'official' docs.

The [old] news are;
-3.8 gets 385hp
-3.6 gets 345hp
-7 speed PDK (double clutch gearbox) with launch control and race mode
-Mechanical LSD now also in the US

Looks nice to me, I'll have an S with PCCB, X52 and PDK please!

Any comments?

so, then the cayman should be pushing 325hp when they upgrade it to DI. Nice.

Porsche has the laziest designers, so of course it won't look any different. they may change a couple bits here and there, but overall, it will look exactly the same.

I bet that 7-speed transmission is going to be nice strapped to that flat 6.

This translates in classic Porsche speak as a 'timeless classic".
