It will probably look something like the RUF Turbo Cab, although I wonder if Porsche will keep the intakes behind the doors. RUF found a way to change the vent system in the rear spoiler to provide sufficient airflow w/o adding exterior intakes. It looks real clean. Hope Porsche does as well with their Turbo Cab design!

I also found this pic of a Turbo Cab in a mag a couple of months ago, but the suggestion was it was a photoshop creation. Who knows??
