New documents resembling official internal specification lists for the upcoming 2009 Porsche 911 range have appeared on a number of internet forums, revealing crucial details about engine outputs, a new dual-clutch transmission and optional features and electronics. The big news is the introduction of a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission called Porsche Doppelkupplung or PDK for short.

Other important changes include the introduction of a new set of direct-injection engines rated at 345hp in the Carrera and 385hp in the Carrera S. There’s also a boost in torque levels with an additional 20Nm for both the 3.6L and 3.8L engines. Other goodies include a new Chrono sport package, launch control, an upgraded brake package and an upshift indicator in the instrument cluster.

Non-performance items include a new touchscreen navigation system, LED daytime running lights, ventilated seats and a new color range. The updated Porsche range should make its world debut at the Paris Motor Show in October.

    There was also a rumor that C4 was gonna use Haldex all-wheel-drive system. But they don't have that here...

    Pretty soon they won't make them in RHD models, if the British government continues it's persecution of car enthusiasts...

    "Doppelkupplung" literally means "double clutch".

    I'm waiting for double digit improvements in fuel consumption figures.

    PDK is a big deal. It will save the 911 in the current HP war.

    Finally Porsche is introducing dual clutch, being long time coming. Other than dual clutch, it's quite a modest update
