The 997 Turbo is in the process of being upgraded but I don't know if it's due to the GT-R

It is uncertain whether or not the 997tt will get a facelift and/or any power upgrade. If, it does it will likely be no more than 15-20 hp. Remember, PAG will likely save some room for the S, which typically debutes as a last year of the MY run (The tt is only in it's second year.). Then there is the powerkit option which hasn't been released yet, which will likely yield 25-30 hp. Anything that PAG does, of course, can not cannibalize GT2 sales (530 hp).

I also read somewhere that the car would weigh at least 3600 lbs. and yield no more than 480 hp. I can't imagine either version of the GT-R weighing less than 3000 lbs.
