Default tail lights on 991.5 and form following function

the 991 is a beautiful car - porsche should focus on the next gt2 .. is one coming?
Not sure what function the new notched taillights perform. Perhaps the new louvers on the rear deck provide better ventilation and maybe the slots on the lower rear fascia provide better ventilation as well. A power bump of about 20 hp and maybe some PDK mapping options beyond those of normal, sport and sport plus will be incorporated in the 991.5. Pricing should contribute to the pricing umbrella that Porsche likes to erect around somewhat limited production models, although there seems to have been no limit on TTS production in the '15 model year. Will be interesting to see what they do with the base price. They are well aware of actual ordered and in-stock retail transaction prices, so may bump the base price more than the few thousand that they did a year ago for the '15's. A year ago the euro was trading about 15% higher than it is today so that alone suggests a bigger base price increase.
