911Jetta

I just looked through the German 991 catalog and found it strange that there were no pictures of the rear spoiler extended at speed?

How about this faster 991...... and this is not a turbo

What does the triangulated body panel do? (the piece just in front of the raised spoiler and below the window...)

Maybe at much higher speeds the spoiler goes up even higher and the extra flaps go up with it to provide even more downforce.

My other WAG is more fun: Mini flaps for extra coolers a la Lamborghini Mercielago.

engine access???

I would say the triangular area is just styling. Part of the upper lid and designed so the lines flow to the edges of the spoiler.

or that ^^^

its another panel for access to fluids.

also the spoiler is variable lift.

It's part of the engine cover. If you look at the first picture with the spoiler in the retracted position you can clearly see that its the engine cover/lid.

This is from the video just released by Porsche

Good call!
I was hoping it signaled the design of an interesting two-stage rear wing deployment system.

This screen shot pretty much confirms it's part of the engine lid cover. It's a shame couldn't make the engine lid narrower; having it follow the line of the rear window. Unfortunately it looks like the width of the engine lid grew to match the spoiler.

I always loved how the design of the rear quarter panel flowed from the roof down across the fender to the taillights without any additional panels or gaps...

And would have a tough time picking the above sport design package or the aerokit below
