Default PAG: Catch Me If You Can (991 GT2)

The following surfaced very briefly in the latest PAG PR vid titled "The Committee". I suspect we're looking at the first "official" shots of the 991 GT2.

Contrary to rumors of AG not seeing the "need" for a two-wheel driven 650bhp+ monster, here we're looking at a car with a front airdam and what appears to be side air scoops, rear intercooler exits and a seemingly low-slung, fat rear wing... ceramics too.

Jump to 1:22 of this video and draw your own conclusions. But the correlation is strong...

For a company that's so successfully kept their projects away from the public eye when they wanted to (read: 918 pre-2013), this cannot be a "slip"... it's a plant.

^ Helps if you watch the video. There's something on the side of the car that's more than just reflections. And, bright silver wheels not seen anywhere in the GT range thus far...

I think you are reading WAY into this. I watched the video a few times to give you the benefit of the doubt, but I don't agree with you.

video reveals nothing other then they are dragging their heals in building a proper cayman R with a 3.8L.

The committee has their hands tied as far as im concerned and should be commited.

The committee dude with his kid in the pool should be pissed in the video for having to travel all that way for a "GTS".... He could have sent it in a text. lol

The committee should be dragged off their thrones and put in front of a firing squad.

"Catch me if you can" ?? I can pretty much catch one on foot right now....I take that back, my non-crawling 6 month old could catch one either via rolling, or when he learns to crawl, which will before any of them are moving.

I can see the rear vents.

It would have been something if the speaker had said "build a cayman/boxster that can beat a 911."

Video probably reflects exactly what happened after the 2nd GT3 caught on fire. P.S. sort of looks like a blue GT3 to me.
