Do you believe the wing as it appears the current test car is the final production piece?

So will the turbo motor behave more like the current 991.2 non turbo turbos?.. Progressive to redline and with sound?

Or will it behave more like the current turbo turbo? boosty and vacuumy?

Rumors also speculate that it will have a manual gearbox, so rejoice!
If you’re going to order a car that wants to put you backwards
into a tree at all times, you can’t make anything easier on
yourself on principle. Three pedals or bust.

That article is pretty hilarious.

So looks like t will be a 991.1 body style???.. Judging by front bumper. That would make sense chronologically in a way because this would just be a cup version or whatever of the current RS, instead of appearing almost at same time as the next gt3?.. Just wondering.

Looks to me like a .2 body style. Front bumper is new design for this car (larger intakes, with vertical dividers between middle and side intakes). Decals covering front DRL and tail lights are head fakes. (Nizer's photos)
