Just a render, doesn’t seem to be an official render either with the discrepancies noted in the front vents and rear.

That being said I think it looks great

HEY! that's MY idea... I've been looking at those wing up rights and wondering if they unbolt for months now... With that little ducktail it would be an amazing looking touring model.

Please please ...

my bet it’s like the GT3RS, if so just order and keep the wing as wall art.

This is a render by Antonio Bonacci by the way. Not that it makes a difference as it's spot on, but just for accuracy sake. You can see his signature in the shadow of the car behind the front wheel

Probably due to COVID (supply chain disruptions)

I'd bet that's the reason if the delay is true. Ford shut down a couple plants (US and Germany) due to semiconductor shortages, for 1 month.

There is a global shortage of automotive electronics that's getting progressively worse - a perfect storm of chip manufacturers expecting no automotive demand for late 2020 and 2021 so committing to volumes elsewhere, and now getting hit by supply shortages, so that they cannot meet even those reduced plans. Some (e.g., Ford) are even slowing/stopping production. So delayed launches should not surprise anyone, and delayed availability is almost a given.

Also, the way things are going, we will have a shortage of new cars later this year, so do not rush to sell what you have just yet.

There's a global shortage of semiconductor microchips for the auto industry, including VW (and Porsche).
