Sorry if this is a repost. It's from German auto review site.

Carrara is a city in Tuscany and the area is known for white marble. Perhaps that is the inspiration.
Carrera was borrowed from the famous race La Carrera Panamericana.

Great pics thanks - Ive been looking for nice shots of a mk2 in white.

Do we know if those are the standard Titanium wheels or optional free Silver? In the first couple of shots they look darker so I assume Titanium but the last close up of the wheel it looks Silver?????

I'm interested in seeing the silver wheels as well. Looks like the option comes with colored crests (on configurator) so these are probably the standard titanium color.

- rear decklid wing attach points looks exactly like the RS decklid - thus the RS CF wing sales will continue
- front lip spoiler also looks like it will re-tro fit 997 so thus another alternative to the cup spoiler

You would be correct.

Don't know about the wing, but I am very confident the front spoiler will not retrofit without the GT3 997.2 bumper cover. Look at the side vents in the bumper. They are taller/ bigger and extend lower to the ground As a result, the front lip looks thinner to provide about the same amount of clearance to the lower hanging bumper surface.
