WOW!
nice catch! I've been waiting seeing a few of these on the road, but so far none... :|

But that's a nice catch!

I have to say that the Turbo is one of my favorite sportscar ever... a perfect weekend-car :D :twisted:

First JW 997TT sighting?? :D

Congrats mate!! Looks nice in yellow....... :wink:

I don't remember anybody else posted one, maybe at the Ring. Well, my father sent me the pics of a 997TT streetsighting in St.Moritz on March 1st (probabely a testcar at that time)

Too bad for the lack of light, but still, an early sighting is always a pleasure! I just don't know why US spec models always happen to hit European roads sooner than regular Euro spec ones..

the plates are german, IMO he drove from Germany to Switzerland :idea: , btw these countries are next to eachother :wink: j/k :D

The difference is the rear bumper (square plate) and the positioning light on the side, maybe more ...

I came across this car while he was parking, I had to wait until he left carrying normal luggage and he was parked in the neighbourhood, so didn't look like a testdriver .... or maybe he did a secret visit to his girlfriend in Zürich :mrgreen:
Further from what I saw, no extra equipment

Well, main visual differences are the rear bumper (and consequently the plate), and side indicators at the front... but usually US spec cars also have softer settings, not sure if it's the same for Porsches too.

You don't visit the ultimate topic often, do you? :P

One can drive from Germany to Switzerland? :shock: j/k :P

I'm just curious to why one would get a US Spec'd 911 versus a "regular" one.. I'd imagine Porsche would have every US Spec 997 shipped across the pond..

I bet the changes are just cosmetic, I doubt they would make the suspension softer and what not.. I atleast would hope they wouldnt

This yellow 997 turbo (North America version) is definitively a great sighting. http://www.rs6.com/smilies/thumbsup.gif

Nice. I saw like 20+ of these last weekend in all sorts of flavors. Of course where i was at no cameras were allowed on premises. Here is a lil something I was able to snap.
