We first heard word about another special edition Porsche 911 merely weeks ago. And at first I thought "Really? Another?" However, I must say that Porsche did turn me around a little bit with the argument that for every edition of the 911 there is a buyer.
I know this is the second time I'll say it tonight but the saying goes: "There's an ass for every seat." Especially, when it's a Porsche.
According to the Teamspeed forum, the latest information is detailed down below.
**Take a look at the FULL thread by clicking "Read Article"
1) Porsche will not announce the car on April 7th. They don't announce new models on Thursdays. They also would announce a car of this magnitude at some type of "event". There are no events on April 7th. My source said the announce will be in May, but no specific day given. Porsche feels that they announced so many cars in the last few months that they want the dust to settle. This will be the last 997 announced and then the 998 will start to get revealed. LE's will be delivered to US in August and Sept. That would be a major disappointment. We've already waited a long time.
2) 4.0L yes. 485 HP, not 500. NO PDK.
3) CF Hood and Fenders from GT2RS - No Surprise
4) Only slightly lighter than the GT3RS
5) New graphics and paint schemes - no surprise
6) Aero will be enhanced, but don't expect RSR style aero
7) Two tone interior options ala GT2RS.
8) Some suspension tweaks
9) $185k MSRP. With CF options it's over $200k.
