Mostly I'm wondering because of all the Speedster threads of late on the 964 and 993 boards.
Porkers.co.uk's "997 SPEEDSTER RENDERING" thread, with photos of 2 RLers' 993s toward the bottom of that page.

Not sure the 997 will be as svelte, with it's larger dimensions.



There is a PH'er who has one of these too.

Imagine a 997 C2 widebody, chopped windshield and bumpy roof cover like the Spyder and Speedsters.

Any amazing photoshop artists out there?
Yes! SpeedTeam.com's "Wild-Speed"...

And, boy, does it look great! Thank you to TeamSpeed for allowing us to reproduce the image here.

Speaking of Speedsters, we have a full feature on a real – but not factory built – 997 Speedster in the next issue of Total 911.

The new 997 Speedsters appear not to have rear side windows.
