Great diversionary tactic with using different wheels.

The X51 isnt right in between but it is more powerful.

991 GTS??

Would make sense... In the style of the 996 GTS with Turbo body.

GTS or Hybrid? If it's between C4S and turbo does that mean AWD only? If so hybrid is more likely.

I saw an article somewhere that the suspected it was the 991 Targa. But that particlar shell doesn't look like a Targa.

Definitely not the Targa. The Targa has been spotted several times and looks nothing like this, it wears camouflage like it is a cabriolet. This is clearly a coupe.

What makes this unique from a regular C2S? Maybe this is just a test drive for something and not a new model at all.

I'd wager on a new GTS, although that came very late in the 997 product lifecycle, not early.

Well Suzy. If I put some decoration around my wheel wells, it looks like mine (ex the rear wheels). What sets it apart in your view?

Wider wheelarches rear (Turbo) without vents and front (this is new), Turbo rearspoiler and bumper, C4 taillights (lightbar is blacked out), C4 front, different exhaust.

Thanks. But not sure of all of that with the pictures and what appears to be sensors here and there, different wheels, etc. Time will tell, but you are probably right as usual.

It's way too early in the 991 lifecycle for the GTS, don't you think?

We've seen the turbo body running the ring that we suspect is the GT3 RS, could this be a different way of camoflaging RS parts for testing?
