Spies first to break 2008 Porsche 911 refresh spy photos-Front view

Here is a surprise from Germany’s sports car maker Porsche. Caught in hot-weather testing in the US southwest are two nearly undisguised prototypes of a restyled Porsche 997 coupe and convertible.

The prototypes have completely new headlamps with two lenses (current model has one) inside and a new front bumper. They also have new taillights of different shape and look and also a new rear bumper.

All this could mean that the 997 is about to get an early facelift – despite the fact that the former 911 was changed into the new 997 only two years ago in 2004.

It looks the same to me. I guess the refresh is so minor that I can't tell the difference. Also the fact that all Porsche's basically look the same it won't be much of a difference when it comes out. Much like the 99' 911's they still look relatively similar. You can always tell a Porsche from a mile away. Their all nice cars.

I agree, the headlight looks basically the same.
