Oh yeah, I didn’t notice the bubble roof in previous photos I saw, but I see it now. That does look more like the sport classic.

While it would be cool, I doubt that they’re going to put the 4.0L from the Cayman in any 911 (ever). I read a couple of quotes from Porsche employees said that they aren’t going to do that (basically because of the “cayman complex”). I also think I remember hearing that even if they wanted to, the engine would require some significant changes to work in a 911.

My bet is still on a GTS powerplant (or maybe GTS+ like someone else said). I honestly don’t know if I’d want that 3.0L with any more turbo than it already has unless they can really manage the lag.

Does the lack of air intakes on the rear fenders indicate that it is not the 3.8L engine?

10 days ago, in the South of France, there was a kind of video shooting.

That has to be a 73RS 2.7 at the bottom...

And something with ducktail celebrating 50 years above it (maybe just Heritage edition or maybe special model?)

Manual transmission, RWD and turbo engine according to my information's sources.

I would guess the sport classic will be a tribute for the start of 911 production 1963? Just as the 30th 1993, 40th 2003 and 50th anniversary 2013..

Turbo with 550ps, red and manual. Hmmm
very expensive? Turbo S pricing?
I assume rear seats.
