Porsche 997 Facelift Spy Pictures

It looks like Porsche are already bored with the looks of their latest flagship car.
World CarFans are running spy pics of prototype coupe and cabriolet models this week, during testing in America. It’s not know whether the new Turbo and Turbo Cabriolet model will receive the makeover at this point.
There’s very little to distinguish them from the ‘old’ 997 apart from new headlights and rear light clusters. The front bumper is reminiscent of the new Turbo item, gaining larger intakes. The rear bumper is also tweaked, slightly.
Power remains the same, with the facelift 997’s retaining the current 3.6L and 3.8L units.
Why change a car that’s only been in the showrooms for 30 seconds? It’s not a Toyota Corolla…
