997 Turbo pics

Only in America ! Good, barely disguised pics on renntech forum. I understand the 997 Turbo uses variable vane turbos to reduce lag and is currently producing a reliable 480 bhp - yours for 96k in the Summer !

I don't see anything either. Looks like the link is out of date. Does anyone know where the pics went ?

Guys I don't know what's wrong, every time I click I see the pictures ! I don't want to copy and paste someone elses work, but I'll e-mail the provider and see if I can..

Great snaps Ronnie ! The turbo has been radically restyled over the 996 TT then !![

Sorry to sound like a total amateur but what does TT stand for?

Well, the disguising is there to make it look like a 996TT... [

What's the weight of that thing?
Looks like a Zeppelin.

Probably be a few kilos heavier than the 996TT, so expect around 1550 kg unloaded I guess.

I stil reckon the biggest single improvement would be to reduce the weight by 150 kg. This would help it more than adding power.

The main difference seems to be exhausts exiting through the bumper, which I saw predicted more than a year ago, and the rear wing is wider, by a couple of inches each side, with a bit more droop at the ends.

I'm not sure if it is a little wider of not, but if it gets any wider than the 996TT, it becomes a bit awkward for parking, width restrictions, and country lanes.

another website says...

Official details will be released in the spring, when it will go on sale at an estimated £90,000 or so.

Caught out on cold-weather testing in icy conditions, this Turbo shows its distinct air intakes, wider rear end and unique rear bumper and spoiler. Underneath that broad black bodyshell are substantial modifications to airflow and aerodynamics, to aid high-speed stability and downforce. It's thought to have a new four-wheel drive system, with torque directed to the individual wheel with the most grip.

The Carrera's 3.8-litre flat-six engine produces up to 480bhp/460 lb ft of torque and a near-200mph top speed. Acceleration 0-60mph is estimated to be in the region of under four seconds. A six-speed manual transmission will be standard, but a DSG-style sequential-shift "˜box may be an option.
