Default Is this a modified 928?

Is this a heavily modified 928 in the background of this pic?:

It looks like it could be and the numbers on the side sure seem to suggest it.
The car in the foreground is a modified 911 and is the subject of this ebay auction .

Am I missing something here? That looks like the "928 Spyder" that's been around for years.

Quick use of "the google" - on the front page:

Hmmm, I hadn't seen it before.
I'd seen the SpyderWerks 928, but I was pretty sure this was different.

Here's the website for the other car in that picture, the 3 seater:

Guess I wasn't thinking yes it's likely the Spyder. Looks great, but I'm told workmanship is horrible.

This was the first iteration of what inspired the Moderna Spyder and was hand built in Canada by a Doctor with a vision.....and lots of money. He also built a custom trailer with similar styling but 928 tailights as I recall. The 964 exercise ??

Probably an air intake for the rear engine.
