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

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

regular one
that's pretty early... i thought that the dealers will get them in june... lucky guy!
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
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.

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

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.

Thanks a bunch stmoritzer for those pix and nice collaboration between car spotter from Asphalte club members. :good:

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.
