The top down test was probably unnecessary, right?

Seems it may have been done for the publicity they are getting.

for the 4RS, they had been taping over the WP stuff. They could have but didn’t here.

Perhaps the reveal will been pretty soon??

Any bets if this is just a one MY car?

Porsche has already officially stated the GT3RS debut is 17 August... LA Autoshow will be the public debut. The Spyder/GT4/Cayman R has a history at that show. It's the biggest market for this model.

WP used to be real differentiation from standard RS cars- not purely cosmetics, but lighter (stronger) carbon fiber parts. On the 982 RS cars it is 90% cosmetic and not functionally better

On the 4RS, it’s 99% cosmetic and the only way to get PTS…Porsche bean counters know how to make $$

Are you implying the Spyder RS will be May 2023?

-Rear Engine Announcement Nov 2022 = 992 Carrera T
-SUV April 2023 = Facelift Cayenne
-Mid Engine Announcement May 2023 = ?
-Rear Engine Announcement July 2023 = 992 ST
-Small SUV Announcement Nov 2023 = Macan EV
-Sedan Announcement Dec 2023 = Facelift Panamera? This seems really late.

I dont like quoting absolutes hence why I conservatively guesstimated 90%.... but yeah, 99% is closer to the truth! haha

I see you have been hanging around Westcoast and Adrift.

So something additional to the Spyder RS.
