By definition a patent means you have to disclose your invention to the world. Someone motivated could fairly easy find patents in this area that are assigned to Porsche. Just FYI!
I also don't think you can patent a new allow that is mostly like steel.
There must be something in the construction, other than a new material.
Dangit. That's a shame. I've been told that the folding backrest is to access the rollbar adjustment on the ClubSport package.
Also .. on the european configurator .. clubsport option: if you read the information about the clubsport package, you can read "not available with Option Touring-Paket (Bestell-Nr. 039)" there's some speculation in europe by people with contacts inside Porsche that the touring option is more than just seats. Maybe an R type engine lid with no wing? We'll see.
Slip of the configurator..as I have been saying...expect touring package soon.
