here are some pics i took while in Stuttgart, Germany last week as part of an amazing Euro-trip.

all these porsches are coming out of the factory and being taken to the delivery centres/showrroms etc. The place is not open to public but i took whateer pics i could from outside. i doubt i'll ever see so many Porsches together again...

o and 2 of the porsches you'll see are the new facelifted 997s...beauty!!

There are some nice videos which i'll upload later...

enjoy...

yea but that has been out for a while now...if im not mistaken, it didnt get any changes corresponding to the Carrera (facelift and DFI)...but anyway, the GT2 is more preferable any day...actually, i'd buy that over ANY other car in the market.

That might just have been a factory option. I think you're right that the GT2 (as with the Turbo, GT3 and GT3 RS) will carry on for a while longer as a pre facelift model.

LOL is the 997 "refreshed"? Where?

The back looks more like a TT (maybe from the stoplights) and the front has not been changed, has it?

Yes 997 got a refresh. Except for TT and GT2. Front has changed also, pic of silver 997 is old front.

Yep, the exterior changes on the refresh are pretty minor but the big news is the engines which are all new (DFI, 385bhp in the S, lower emissions, better MPG) and there is a new double clutch transmission.

The next gen 911 is apparently due for release in 2011
