It appears that the pics are from someone really close to the project, if not inside.
I agree with you - especially about the 3.8, although I think the brakes might be off the C2S rather than the GT4.
Agreed, this is weird.
I know you have been one of the more skeptical of us out there, but the clues really don't lead us to anything solid.
The action of the top is by far the biggest mystery.
I don't want a powered top, but I would love a top that is more watertight.
And, why is the back decklid camouflaged? What the heck are they hiding under that center piece?
That said, it does seem like these are pictures of an actual product.
The front brakes are GT4 sized, the front spoiler is similar but not as deep so perhaps lower downforce.
It looks like they won't put a rear wing on it, which would spoil the look.
The biggest upside will be finding out how big the engine is, and how light the car ends up being.
If we see a 3.8 in this thing, the market will be even more anxious to ****** them up, PDK or no.

The fact people are stating another round of pictures with even more detail could be forthcoming without a possible Porsche AG release statement just makes me chuckle ( not at the post but the premise)
While I like the idea of a better top nothing is going to make me sell my 987 Spyder. I have a 993t that I am selling to buy and make room for either a GT4 PDK or finally breakdown and deal with how to bring a RS500 into California.

These are planned leaks from Porsche themselves to generate excitement and get a read on what people think.

Apparently that is how it is done now.
