Default Still Testing...?

Saw two black 992's today in the SF Bay Area. Definitely test mules as I could see passenger on handheld radio and manufacturer plates. They were driving super slowly and I almost drove right past them. I uploaded two images. Both poor quality because I was in my car. It is much more understated than I expected. Possibly because they were black and very dirty. All happened pretty fast. Wish I could have gotten a better look. Side note, I tend to like black because because less likely to be notice unless clean and gleaming..

Maybe its a model with a full PDK stick or a manual.

Could also be a hybrid model. Maybe they have more kinks and need to get fixed asap. I can happily tell them 2 Major Kinks....3 technically, but 2 for sure needs fixing asap

Thanks for sharing

As noted, probably a variation. Carrera non-S, manual, etc. Could be a mule for many things.

Or, they could have run into a problem prior to production, and are testing again. Who knows.

Test cars / prototypes (especially the near-production ones) are not automatically scrapped just because the car has been showed to the public. They can have a lot of life still left in them plus they are probably heavily instrumented and thus very expensive to replace just to get another color than black
