Default I believe I saw a 2019 911 Mule driving around DC

Yesterday while I was returning home from work, I noticed an all-black clad unmarked car with a singular tail light stripe on the rear driving around the beltway yesterday. Initially, I thought it was perhaps an ordered car but then I sa

Pretty cool I think. It did look like Jordi Lafarge.

Yes cool if I should say so myself!

I failed to mention I was in my GTS when I came upon it.

I didn't try racing it but I caught up to it from maybe 200 yards behind then trailed it for a good 3 miles trying to figure out wtf it was lol. The gentleman driving it was not in any hurry and was just cruising, then he pulled off an exit ramp.

I had never seen that rear light configuration before (having owned a targa 4s I've had the strip but this strip was flanked by two similarly sized but smaller lines and not full rears like in a 4).

VWOA Headquarters is located in Herndon VA. I've seen Audi / VW prototypes driving around when I used to live there.

A true enthusiast would have rammed into him and then snapped cell phone pics of the interior when he got out to exchange information.

I'm so disappointed.

Whoa - this is happening in my neck of the woods...I wonder if Porsche is going to bring the car to this week's Katie's Cars and Coffee :-)

Hey Op - do you bring your red 911 to Katies C&C?
