I have seen a 997 Turbo in person while I was touring Porsche R&D at Weissach. The front of the car looks larger than the current 996 turbo. From what I can tell (doors locked), it has a Cayenne look alike steering wheel. I like the overall look better than 996. It does have a cool looking wing in the back. The backend of the 997 (non turbo) looks a lot different 996. Since I have no photo of the car (not allowed), I can only tell from my memory. I have been told that 997 turbo is very fast.
This is the last photo that I can take in the facility. It is in the front door security checking point.

The Deal: Porsche is testing a face lifted version of the current 911 that will hit American roads in fall 2004. Code-named 997, the 911 will get a new facial treatment that includes the return of more traditional round headlights. Other styling changes include new, larger air intakes, restyled front and rear bumpers, re-skinned doors, and four chrome-finished tailpipes. As far as engines, the current 3.6 litre flat-six will grow to a 3.8, increasing power from 315 to 335hp. A 911 S version will appear in all the variations of the 911 sporting a 370hp engine. Along with distancing the 911 from its little-brother Boxster, the 997 will keep the 911 fresh until a completely redesigned car (code-named 998) appears in 2007.
