Porsche 911: More news on the facelift!
Finally, some news on the facelift, which should be unveiled in mid 2007. Expect to see some Volkswagen features, including DSG and FSI (although will probably be called something else).
STUTTGART -- Four years after the launch of the current series, Porsche's iconic 911 will be upgraded for the summer of 2008.
The front end will get a larger air intake, and the rear lighting will be redesigned.
Major technological innovations to the 911 will include a conversion of the six-cylinder gasoline engine to direct injection and the addition of an optional dual-clutch transmission.
The transmission will allow shifts without interrupting driving power, even in manual mode.
Porsche's direct-injection engine, dubbed DFI, is projected to cut fuel consumption by about 10 percent.
