The european (larger) and US (smaller) lighter sockets are different size. It may be that Porsche has started provisioning US-sized sockets in cars destined for the US? My 2001 has a larger socket with which I need to use an adaptor for the cell phone charger (http://986forum.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=1216&stc=1).

I found the following page that may be of interest.
