Fwiw basis a rep at one of the PAG direct owned UK dealers ... The 991 turbo and targa are 2014 delivery cars... With showings at Frankfurt
2013 sees 991 gt3, 50th anniversary and ( another) limited edition porsche club car for the 911 variants

The spoiler or the wing?
In any case, I think they've done a good job of the body, but I'd say the "livery" is odd at best.
Now, it's the usual point of speculation on what they leave off the GT3 in order to make the RS. I'd guess they'll go with arbitrarily "smaller" canards and forego the fender extensions? I wonder if those NACA ducts will be the new visual cue for the RS. Presumably the street wing will be sculpted and bulky like the 997.2 RS. Mirrors … simple caps over the washers … plastic rear and quarter windows ... full cage ... weld plates in the tub ... all the things that don't make it to the sheltered existence of the US driver. Of course we'll all be sliding our finger down the option sheet for "centerlock delete" this time ... we've come a long way since fretting over the sunroof delete for the 997.1 GT3 … : )

I doubt wheels with black centers will be standard; another reason why the silver rims stands out. As others have said, probably photoshopped anyway. Images are obviously from a magazine; which one?

...."Either way, Porsche has stated that the new car will deliver “new engineering highlights, plus a whole lot more” when it’s revealed at the Geneva Motor Show 2013 on March 5."
