What makes you say its base and not S? The brake calipers are red, isn't that an S "thing"?
Other than that, all clues point to a base model. Some S models pictured have had the Turbo/GT3 sized ceramic brakes too. Either all for testing purposes, or an upgrade coming on all models? Not that the S will come with ceramics as standard, but maybe the bigger version if ordered?
Don't have a definite answer. Looks like a base model with current S model red calipers.
Saw the video on periscope yesterday, but like your photo it was too far away to see much. When the car drove off the taillight LED looked like the current ones - for the brief second I saw it - it wasn't 4 separate little lights, or at least didn't look to be. Maybe a Stuttgart-area Rennlister can get zoom in on the sculpture and get some better shots of exhaust!

I bet the four lights will be the brake lights. Hopefully they will keep the surrounding LED outline.
So far in the all the spy photos, we have seen 3 different exhaust configurations. I must say that I am very curious about how these map to the various models and their engines.
Most of the spy photos to date have shown cars with the new centre exhaust layout while a small number of other photos have shown cars with the existing dual side exhaust. Then there is the cabriolet showing what looks like an existing base exhaust layout.
Interesting comments on the Worldcarfans post: "The central exhaust is for the sports exhaust system. Standard exhausts are twin square pipes on the Carrera/4/Targa 4 models with twin dual-tube circles on the S models." - Not sure if that's accurate but, according to the pics, not all models are getting the central exhausts.

my guess is that the 'S' has the ctr exhaust, the base model the dual tips, the cabriolet is a much earlier mule, and seems to have dual tips in a different style, but is probably just the base exhaust with different tips as opposed to a completely different system entirely.
