You can tell it's an auto top from that angle? I can't tell one way or another from that pic.

Spyder top ears/flaps/wings would have been visible from that angle, no?

Not necessarily, heres a similar angle of a 981. I would freak out for a normal top Spyder though.

Perhaps a GT3 4.0L with less fancy bits inside and lower redline.
Yes this is what I would expect in the road car. But there has been so many twists and turns in the development of this car.

That’s a much worse angle. What do you mean “freak out”?

Is it me or do the rear wheels look bigger than the front ones (I sure hope not)?

Take a look at Post 6175. Seems like they are the same.

You are right, better 20" to avoid costly 21" tires.

I'm the only who thinks that web debut is really really close? unmasked cars on the road and at Nordschleife, maybe in the next week before NYC ? than press tests in Portimao, and Goodwood first EU premiere.

I didn't mind the wheels, but once I read this I can't look at them the same now.

They look very much like the current GT3 wheels.

Hope you're right, Goodwood seems a long way off!

Considering the current leaks are basically 100% production ready, I hope you're right! Goodwood feels so far away....
