...someone at corporate will have a nice conversation with an employee/contractor.

Is this thing going to be called Speedster, or are they going to place another fake GT3 badge on the trunk lid and call it GT3 Speedster?

I'm sorry and slightly OT but the back of that car in photographs is plain ugly!
I hope I'm wrong when seen for real.

While that's uncalled for maybe the photographer was doing some unsafe things to get a shot

That’s the real deal, how much can you do with the basic concept in the size required? If this version didn’t have the GT running gear it would be just another special edition 991.

Never understood the attraction to any of the speedsters. I guess just from a rarity standpoint, but still nothing that I feel looks exceptionally good in any form.

That doesn't look like "throwing the bird" to me? With the hand tilted sideways like that? Maybe he was giving a point-by to the car behind him.

This. None of them looked good. Even a convertible 911 has an odd hump to its back that Porsche still hasn't found a way to smooth out.

Pointing left while taking a right turn??

Who points with their middle finger? It's the bird! He wasn't happy with the auto paparazzi.

I think the guy asked for a speedster allocation and this was the dealer's response.
