Sorry to disagree so strongly, but there is no way the 3 RS would be turboed. First of all, it would be a marketing and sales disaster for the model. Second, Porsche will continue making NA engines in its high end performance cars. If 918 is any indication of future Porsche DNA, it has a NA high performance engine aided by emotors for efficiency boost, not turbos. Third, Porsche will continue to distinguish itself from Ferrari by not going to Turbos; which would you buy, a turboed Speciale or a NA 3 RS? Fourth, the only reason turbo vents are used in 3 RS is to provide better intake as the vents over engine lid are eliminated and also further enhance cooling while using the wider rear of a turbo. I am willing to bet there are no turbos in that engine. Porsche, please, please don't prove me wrong, otherwise I would fully subscribe to the idea of buying a Speciale!
Agree totally it would be a marketing disaster if 3RS went turbo.
If you do get a Speciale - get this version, cause the next one will be turbo

The guy also has an RS lip for sale. The pic is not clear though it has a part number.

I'll try to ask where he got it... Maybe he has also the rest of the car

That is the exact post I was thinking about when I first saw the picture of the bumper! Yeah, they look nearly identical if you account for the differences in lighting.
I wonder what other RS parts Porsche has...misplaced.

Looks like a Ford Thunderbird color from the 1950's... :-0

Not fond of the lighter orange colors - that has a rosy look to it . I got worried when those mules were photographed in CA and the orange door jamb looked much lighter than the scale model . Waiting on the purple hue . Would love PTS , but don't expect it .

Yes the Minichamps car has a darker Orange. But then the Minichamps 991 GT3 in Guards Red is darker than the real Guards Red colour too... I guess Minichamps do not have to use the same paint mix 
That Orange 918 does not look as nice as the other 918 colours I've seen...

The 918 looks better in that picture than in person under bright lighting, it's very close to those bumper pictures. I won't order it if it turns out to be the same color for the RS....

My new winglets just arrived. carbon weave looks good, it's done in a matte finish. as a bonus they included a Blow-Pop to chew on while you install it.
and on other GREAT news, my car just got off the Florida Highway ship in Houston, and was released for delivery, dealer told me it will probably be in Dallas tomorrow or Sunday. Having a few prep things done (tint, clear bra, porsche stripe, and painting the 3.8 on the wing guards red to match the brakes).
here are some shots of the winglets:
