It’s not exactly unrecognisable, blink and you will miss it ! but the main changes being a slightly more aggressive front bumper, gaining larger intakes reminiscent of the new Turbo item.

The rear bumper is also tweaked, The new rear light clusters will be LED items, with their lense cutting into the bumper (in a similar way to the headlights on the Porsche 996 models).

I wonder if there will be any changes to the engine. I am guessing, 3.6 to get 345 BHP and 3.8 to get 380 BHP to enable the Cayman keep at bay.

Can see the difference from the back clearly - any interior changes?

I'll agree that maybe they will produce some extra juice as the 3.6 GT3 engine is knocking out 415bhp, 5/10 bhp seems to be the norm....

as for the interior, probably just move some stuff around to make it less boxster like!

hopefully they will add a piece of kit as well....... you guess is as good as mine !

Currently the 3.8 with the powerkit only gets 381, can't see the facelift gets that close to it.

Agree - 365bhp is much more likely for the S.
