I'd be far more impressed if they paid homage to the Turbo S intake treatments:

They aren't functional on the 964 nor 993 Turbo S's. But wouldn't it be amazing if they were made functional? Too bad it won't be Singer.

By coincidence, I came across a video on Youtube last night that showed another 911 with similar quarter window vents, so these aren't that novel an idea after all.

The spec describes 'dual oil circuits' for improved flow; thinking that could be an external oil pump.
