My goodness that is a lot of rear tire. Looks like a tubbed Nova. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

No more air intake at all under the rear wing, so only through the sides.
Now that's a VERY interesting observation, gone is the signature GT3/RS decklid airscoop ... which would suggest that the intake side of the RS is at least superficially different (as far as the airbox) from that of the GT3 ... and that the side vents are there to stay

Happy to see that - means I was right about the mysterious disappearing CF for the TT/S

^^Agreed. The good and roof looks like some sort of CF based on the shape of them (similar to M6).

Agreed ... seems pretty likely that they are CF components after all!

I'm really intrigued now by the disappearance of the decklid air scoop/intake ... means a totally different airbox setup from the GT3 ... I'm assuming (only because of the center tailpipes) that this *is* an RS mule and not a GT2 RS ...

I am guessing adding RS deck and wing to a GT3 won't be possible anymore.

doubt it unless these photos are not the RS, or the decklid is not the production version (and basically is a hack over the TT/S part) ... but that seems unlikely
at this stage of the game, although I'll bet the wing element is not the production version...

The wing looks like it may be close to production, but the ends of the wing and the vertical supports look masked--perhaps to hide the actual aesthetic.

I believe in the TT/S the air intake is still through the engine deck (like a normal Carrera) and the side intakes are cooling the intercooler.

At least looks that way in 997 -





Looks the same in 991TT too -

Is that a hump down the middle of the roof and front deck, or masking?

Moving the intake from under the wing to the sides could clean up the air flow around the wing.

Big rear spoiler.
Its very rough and hardcore, specially the PDK-S only programming. The RS bangs gears insanely hard. Very easy to drive much faster than 997RS.

The promo intro color will be non metallic orange but a deeper darker orange than the .1RS. Its a 4 liter car. 20" front and 21" rear wheels, the rears are 345.
Big air intakes in the side only, nothing behind the rear window, just like a Turbo. Very wide ***, wider than TT and the front fenders don't have the clip-on extenders but are real wider finders. 275? But that is my guess.

Introduced next month in Geneva.
Post#1
So far I was wrong about Geneva.
The rest all seem like it can be right.
