Not by any chance at all. When a new car is launched they get working on visions for the next car right away. The 991 is 3-4 years away and by this stage everything is pretty much finalized and prototypes using the shell of an existing car start start rolling out on the roads. 2 years before unveiling is due the production ready models enter the road heavily covered. 1-5 to 1 year before the car i uncovered the car is 100% finalized and is heavily tested in real life situation and scanned for imperfections.
A full sized model of the 991 has already been presented to the CEOs and been given green light. The 911 is Porsche's most important product and obviously the development of a new model is taken very serious to make sure the car is the best it would be.
What Ron means, and I agree with, is that this is not the exterior of the 991, yes they have a working exterior design of the 991 by know of course, but on the "drawing board" not on the street driving around with camo, it is way to early for that, we can see that from this picture. What they are likely testing here is "inside" bits, later to be featured on the 991, on a 997 base. It will still be a while until we see a real 911 with camo around stuttgart, at least a couple of years.
