This is going to be real good. I just hope it isn't a hybrid.

Do take a look at the crate and its logistics. It comes complete with unloading ramps. The attention to detail is staggering. Weissach is good.

I'll be at the show on Wednesday. I have to say, I'm surprised that Porsche is even there. Last year, they didn't even bother to show up. Honestly, I was very disappointed in the entire German effort at the show.

Maybe the economy is improving

Seems like they might be taking this a little more seriously than the Cayman R...

Wow! For a second, the video showed that it has a kind of flip-up door!

Strange - flip up doors, seems to be a road car interior, but with slicks?

Very intriguing... the huge bulge in the back can't be a tall wing or can it... Can't wait for the covers to come off in another two hours!!

on the video at 1.31, you can see the words 'Porsche Intelligent performance' on the door. The racer is a hybrid..

It's definitely the RSR hybrid. Very cool though, thanks!
