911 (997) Porsche 997 Facelift Picture Thread

[DaSilva]

They say that Porsche 911 is like a good wine that just
keeps getting better with the years.
Facelift 997 confirms that!

Oh yes....just keeps getting better and better. Now, Cabrio please!

I drove a C2S PDK today. Long story short, it was a disappointment as the gearbox made the driving very, very sterile. It also made funny noises when the clutch disengage as one approached to a standstill. Sport Plus mode was okay, and even then the suspension still felt comfortable enough. Car downshifts willingly but if I were to buy one, a manual does the job far better IMO.

Doesn't feel like a car worth half a million dollars. (in S$ that is)

Like some others have said, Sport Chrono Plus is a must for PDK buyers. It will be interesting to see if the PDK in the GT3 coming during spring next year will have a modified PDK tranny. Seriously, does the C2S cost $500 000 in Singapore?? That's like 5 times too much, your taxes must be out of this world.

It'll cost that if you put in the nice options, base is about S$430k.

I don't know why that the particular test drive just didn't make me feel for the 911 at all. People say once you drive a 911 you won't drive any other car, but I don't quite see why.

Maybe a second one with better roads and traffic would change my mindset.

Love the pictures of the Targa, think it is one of the best looking models.

[Merc1]

Absolute perfection.

Such a classic and distinctive shape and design....gorgeous. I've seen few on the road now...the LEDs are bright as hell.

Very handsome although the dual exhaust tips look best with the 4-models.

This Porscha looks very very very sexy...
& does someone have photo's of those additonal headlamps?
Cause I have ordered them from Porsche Norway ...

Not sure if this has already been posted somewhere, but this picture is pretty cool IMO. Looks to be a Cup car being assembled right on the production line.
