The last couple of photos in that series looks weird. The charging access cover on the left side includes part of that silver vent/trim/whatever in front of the door. Huh? When have you ever seen something like that on any car ever? Makes me start thinking this is photoshopped.
It's a prototype. They do weird **** all the time on them.

The silver "trim" is likely a sticker. That's a commonly done trick used by the car companies to obscure the final form.

Exactly how I feel. I really want a panamera gts estate but I would like something a little smaller.

The stickers do an amazingly good job camouflaging, at least in a 2D photo!

Also, kind of a dick move for TaycanForum to slap their watermark on Autoblog's spy photos.

Wow, this is a sexy car. Tesla isn't going to know what hit it. More shots here.

Looks like their own pics, no Autoblog watermarks.

Yea and the fake exhaust pipe throws off the look of the rear.

Autoblog was the original source of these pictures; the stories last week linked to them. I remember looking at their pictures last week and not seeing any watermarks on them then. Now they have an autoblog.com watermark after everyone else "borrowed" them. Even Rennlist has now gotten into the act.

Roofline and C pillar / windows revealed. This thing looks fierce from the rear!
