The last one was based off a 997 Carrera S too!! Not a GT model.

By the looks of the center exhaust I would guess this is a R Speedster. If that's the case there will be a feeding frenzy on this one. If the production numbers are under 2k, there will be enough for non-918 buyers to get half of them. R-Rated may have a winning lotto ticket!

To add some fuel to the fires of speculation:

In current spy pics the exhaust is not from a 991.2 4.0 GT3 .

Very wimpy. Small "package".

They have the 718 4 banger in there?

Many get flipped through dealers.

As posted on the other thread, photoshop analysis reveals this is sitting on rear 21" wheels.

yes, more unobtainable than any other GT product, save the R. This has been a confirmed rumor for at least 18 months on the GT3 forum. Numbered car, going to be both expensive and crazy markup.

Convertible top is a disguise. Expect Boxster Spyder style manual top.
