Wink 944 Turbo model 2008-2009 spotted (more pics)

From our reporter:

Today one of our associates spotted a heavily camouflaged version of the Porsche 944 near the German border.
We suspect that this is a new Porsche Master Card for the upcoming racing season.
The attendents were quick to cover the car, but could not prevent that these revealing shots where taken.







Judging from the gigantic intercooler and the big Viper-grill on the hood we recon that this is a real fast mover.

Spokespersons from the factory did not want to comment, but a employee of the development department, who wanted to stay anonymous, mentioned a power of 350HP, in a later stage possibly followed by a 420 HP version.

We suppose that this restraint was caused by the possible threat from this car to position of the current top model, the GT3.
It is even gossiped that this is the reason this car is blacklisted from a number of popular tracking events.

Stylin. Beats the price of a custom paint job.

Hans, have you ever seen the movie Unforgiven with Clint Easwood and Gene Hackman, the picture on your avatar does resemble Hackman, odd thing is that today is his birthday.

No tool box is complete without a roll of high speed duct tape!

That is an awesome looking front end, how about some more pictures? Come to think of it, the tape motif might make a cool paint job holding all of the body panels together..

Post up a video when you have one - I'd love to see/hear that thing in action.
