Interesting the rear lights also appear to be printed graphics, wrap from the rear arch around to the end of the light. The area around the front lights looks to be reasonably camouflaged as well.

That rear spoiler lip makes the back look like an R8.

Looks like the front will be well lit up - headlight, small spot light, driving light and the indicators just above driving light - seems like too many lights.

I am hoping this car will come with slotted rotors instead of the cross drilled current rotors that crack to easy when used at the track. The Panamera is coming with slotted.....

The gas tank appears to be on the drivers side?

It's very strange as none of the photos show the filler opening on the drivers side until the last one. I wonder if the last photo was reversed or the previous photos have been touched up?

Edit: on a closer look I'm now convinced that the last photo is reversed. He's driving on the right lane in all the shote until the last one where he's driving on the left lane.

How often do you have the rotors drilled out? My Porsche tech cleans them out quite regularly. It's labour intensive but it seems to extend their life.

Yeah, it looks like there's something radical in the works for the rear lights - the indentations under the tail light graphic near the wheel arches look almost mustang-y.

Looks like a larger rear over-hang, so while they extended the chasis, they probably just hanging the engine as far back as current 997. So, probably similar weight distribution?

The wing looks awesome, maybe a 2-stage? Front is kind of a hybrid between Turbo and 997.2 front end, looks pretty good. 20inch wheels (not gonna help ride), and definitely larger backseats as been reported before.

I am just quite curious about the way sunroof works and the specific way the roof has broken down to three pieces... maybe CF roof?
