Do you notice the center down-step on the roof?
That might give a little more helmet room for driver and passenger. I wonder what they'd do with the sunroof though...
Maybe they're placing two bumps on the roof due to advanced aerodynamics and going down the same route as Ferrari (F450 spy-shots suggests this) and others
Thanks, MJSpeed

Ron (Houston):
Nice shots thanks .
My feeling is that this is not a 991 test mule. To me it looks like a 997.2 special edition like RS (not GT3) or America. If you notice the little fin (mini spoiler) above the rear window is missing.
Thoughts
Ron , here my thoughts : I believe it's a 991 test mule ( we know that 991 will have active aerodynamics )
mini spoiler
when big wing (duck tail) opens , mini spoiler will slide-up on top of rear glass

Yep, and the wiper blade will temporarily detach itself from the glass, make a double twist somersault in the air and then re-attach itself How cool will that be?

For me it is more interesting the fact that this car has two rounded exhaust that are not present in neither of the other 997 versions. So I think the first indication is that this has a different engine. About the top camo IMO is nothing more than camo tho make you look away fromt the real changes. The most probable is just an open rear window, like a hatch. But any other aerodinamic moving piece on the existing car it will be very costly and will have no real benefit on the current car. And this one it is not a mule for the next 991.

Rossi:
Anybody else thinks that looks horrible?
Yup, me! If they do come with a design like this... I don't know. Porsche has always been known among the fans for their evolution rather than revolution. If they start copying asian design curves (no offense intended), I personally do not see that as a good thing.

Likes: rear bumper, rear tail lights, rear lower valence panel
Dislikes: location of rear view door mirrors, gaping front grill, wide C-pillar, bulky Panamera engine lid.
I do hope that this is not the final rendition, though I read here a post from RC that the rear end was VERY close to actual final design.

No, that's an AUDI 911.
