I was thinking along the lines they can increase the bhp more than the the token 10bhp because I am suggesting increasing the standard spec, increase the price closing the gap to a 991 but pushing it away from 981 S performance enough to justify my proposed price hike. Better performance than a 991 won't cost them a single sale because the Spyder was, is and always will be very limited appeal because of the hardcore character and that marmite Suncap & Scarf If you use your Spyder personal knowledge and imagination on how the rear deck with the 3rd brake light bar would look I think a 981 Spyder would be a little like this but with it's rising new wings a much more pleasing overall effect [

] Was beginning to worry about you[] spyderwhite, I would expect a 981 Spyder to have 10bhp over the second generation 981 rather than the first as it probably won't come out until at least then, but with all these small increments Porsche keeps enforcing to keep the hierarchy, I don't expect that to make much difference. If the gen 2 991 arrives before the gen 2 981 and the tune on the 3.4 Carrera increases from 350hp to say 365hp, then maybe the gen 2 Cayman S will get 10hp more and a Cayman R be allowed to creep up to 345hp. The Spyder may therefore get 335hp. Purely speculation but it all gets so silly for Porsche as these increments in years to come will be on a engine already producing 350hp today[&:]. They need to stop trying caress the numbers to keep a few tenths of a second gap between Boxster, Cayman and Carrera. My mate with a 3.4 991 is thinking of going back to Boxster in a few years and he didn't go for Carrera based on a few tenths, he wanted a 911. Oh well, we've ranted about this before and they repeat the same farce but we still buy their great cars[]

]I don't know - was thinking they were 19's but perhaps with winter rubber. Some of these exhausts sound beefier than mine. Don't know if they're different in different countries or if it's how they overpower the video camera's microphone, or as you say, if they are non-standard. This one is loud too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xp3t64t395gORIGINAL: Andy Fagan Hmmm, looks like some mods on that.... Ceramic brakes and wheels look bigger possibly, exhaust doesn't sound like std either [
