Spy photographers have caught a revised 911 Turbo testing in Germany.
The revised 911 features a few styling changes, which are mainly to the rear end of the car. This includes changes to the taillights, bumper and exhaust.
The big news revolves around the performance of the car. The 2009 911 Turbo is going to get a twin-clutch gearbox and will be the first Porsche to get direct injection. This means that power from the 3.6L turbocharged engine should move up from the current 480 to somewhere around 500 horsepower.

They're adding direct injection and only picking up 20 HP? They must be holding back so that they can dial it up 20HP a year until the next 911 comes out...

I agree with Jason, only 20hp (less than 5% increase) with direct injection sounds like poor engineering.. BUT this is porsche, so my money is in "they are holding back".

Not to knock a Porsche, but I really don't think the styling hasn't changed much in the last 15 years. Perhaps a good thing I'm not sure yet.

I don't think you own a Murcielago - otherwise you'd know how to spell it! The 911 Turbo with direct injection and the PDK transmission will set this car apart from all else - again.

Wow 20hp more that shur makes a difference.
Porsche is so over rated, my dad bought a Cayenne turbo for $110,000 and it is 3 years old and now they will take it in for $20,000. Wow what a rip off.
