Hmmm...chrome tips and headlight washers, so not a 'GT3' as we know it. But intakes/venting front and rear, as well as exhaust placement, seem same as the GT3, so likely a GT3-derived engine. Real 'Porsche' emblem (not a sticker), indicating the frunk lid is not CF, so not likely a high-dollar 911R successor (i.e. Sport Classic).

PLEASE make it be real! I don't care how many seats it has...anywhere from 1 to 4 would be fine with me. And please make it a nice grey...my cars are always grey...

Now its clear to me why Porsche was so public about these resale prices of the R. They knew what was coming...
Looks real to me too. Now I wonder whether this is:

1. An option on the GT3 (maybe even no-cost)
2. A separate Touring model (not sure of pricing compared to GT3)
3. A new Sport Classic (always very expensive)

You asked the right questions for sure. My dealer thinks 1 but not for free. The last SC was a regular 997 not a GT so that seems less likely. A 911T makes sense given the recent 911R usage even if we all know the original T was an entry level model.

That color... wow.

Hard to tell for sure, is there a lip spoiler added to the back? The engine panel seems open a bit, but the other line...?

I wondered the same. Is that room there for a ducktail (Sport Classic)?

It does look like there is still a piece to be added between the engine cover vent and the trailing edge.

Awesome! Another car I probably won't be given an opportunity to buy. I'm so excited.

Seriously, Porsche, if you're listening, please give the Touring model the option of no PDLS so we can get rid of those ridiculous headlight washers. Or design them into the bumper like every other car on the planet that has them.

Agreed, there is something missing off the back of this car. Check out the 911r below. It seems to be missing a cover for the engine vent as well as rising wing.

I dont think these photos tell as much that is useful.

Try again Photoshoppers.

Good catch. Likely the Speedster. Makes sense given what we can't see. Not a particularly colorful color for a Speedster, though.

Dammit I want the 'Touring' to be real.

I looked close, where do you see the telltale photoshop bits?
