Hey Curve Lover,
Is this a RUF conversion car? Do you know where the picture is taken? It looks like San Francisco...

Cabrio's advice ^^ for your badge installation works well while computing, too.

Brother JP-- The quality of workmanship's impressive enough to think RUF. Hopefully the sequel to their Greenster will be a 997 Speedster.

Impressive enough that a dreamer could associate the pix with your guide's unveiling announcement of a 'very, very special Porsche' as spyshots of something that's finally visually appealing.

I hear ya on the San Fran resemblance, but it's Italy. I've pinged contacts there for more info. If I don't get details from them, this is my last photo.
Enjoy (responsibly, Cactus!)

Default spy shots: Boxster Speedster
Boxster Speedsters may be nearly redundant: Porsche already sells Speedster-look humps for 'em. Regardless, let's hope it's a very positive trend for future concepts & production - step toward smaller, lighter, & sports-focused.

Aft deck area has been radically resurfaced and smoothed out. Looks outstanding, especially considering the aesthetic shortcomings of 9ff's most notable creation - the Veyron-besting GT9...
