It does look much more aggressive, crazy that a few subtle changes to the bumper and side intake has that effect. It looks like they increased the tire width as well, not sure if that is good or bad as it could take some of that balanced playful feel out of the car.

Put my name on the list today, although part of me wonders whether I'd prefer a 2011/2012 as a weekend car.

This will likely be a 2020 car right?

My wife when I told her: "Is that the one with the ridiculous cloth roof you showed me?"

Definitely a turbo. I can see the wastegates poking out below the bumper cover.

It looks more aggressive because the rear quarters are beefier and taller on the 718 than they were on the 981. Makes the car look more muscular, at the expense of some flow. It looks like a 981 on steroids. Note how the hip to streamliner transition is more pronounced. I would describe this rear end as bulbous.

Clearly more grip which means more power. Love the wheel bay being full.

​​​​​​Wish this was true purely for selfish reasons as a current 981 Spyder owner...but not likely.

Not a turbo ........my dealer contact has always been spot on and nailed it in the GT3 being the 4.0. I will enjoy my 981 for two more months before a swap out for the RS. (:
