The similarity to the 918 front bumper vent makes it seems more like an early 992 concept model alluding to the 918, but preceding the 991.2. 991.2 bumper looks more like an evolution since then. Maybe 991.2 is overly complicated but the bumper on that model doesn't look newer, subjectively to me. Just speculating here.
Also it seems more base model or S. Side skirts and front fascia lower lip near the wheel sit higher than both the 991.2 and 918 pics, Plus there's no vent between the hood lip and front bumper, which IIRC has been a GT element since 996 RS.
They must have cleaned up the features since then b/c that front 1/4 view makes it look like a 350Z in the back.

Study model design is awesome. I did see it in the video when it first came out.
What is the yellow light covers, I know lot of racing cars have them....just never bothered to figure them out. Though I do want that option

I think in motorsports only LMS cars use them. It is probably to distinguish them from prototype cars in endurance events. Or if a slower LMS car sees a white light behind them, they know it is a faster car.

Yellow lights were mandated in France during the war. The accepted reason is that they were slightly more effective at the time, specifically in wet/foggy conditions. Yellow light requirement was dropped in the 90s. The human eye might have better sensitivity to the yellow spectrum than to full white, which may have been another factor for the law. Blue spectrum is typically the worst for the eye.

Yeah, just an old concept it looks like.
I'm probably in the minority but I find the 991.2 GT3 bumper to look way too aggressive and complex for the smooth and clean 991 design. I feel the 991.1 GT3 bumper looks a lot more fitting and harmonious.

I love how someone thinks a 4-year-old design makes the new design look outdated.

You can buy yellow head light paint and change your current lights easy. They sell it in the UK for when cars travel in europe and drive on the oposite side of the road. Very common
