Default I saw them today

in weissach, got to hear them going around the track and see what they're all about.

the hood is pretty long, and the reason for so much camo is because the car has a really funky rear wing design that has never been done before- I don't know if it is an option or what.

it was raining today and they were flogging the black one, green one, and blue one on the test circuit.

when you hear the thing get on the throttle, 80% of the concerns will go away...the car sounds really cool.

the camo is pretty funny...

I was there with CJ and I have to say that they have a presence to them that is really like no other car...I'm still not convinced on styling though. The sound is intoxicating especially the PDK equipped cars...

The rear hatch looks like a copy of the Chrysler Crossfire.

One bump from the back, and you'll need a new hatch.

Porsche will sell lots of those.

I believed this area was camouflaged. Now I'm really disappointed. I hope it'll grow on me.
