    The Air intakes look too big... guess that's camouflage..

    I think the air intakes on the sides are the real deal. The rear slotted thing appears to be cammo over the rear portion of the spoiler.

    Re: New 997 Turbo Pics and Rumors?

    Thanks for the pix but I believe we had these pictures posted here few months ago.

    Is it me or in the first picture 19" front and 20" rear? or is it the angle of the picture?

    I wasn't sure either. It's hard to keep track of all those spy pictures.

    Re: New 997 Turbo Pics and Rumors?

    For what it's worth , the 996 Turbo had almost identical large opening intakes on IT'S camo spy shots 6 years ago. I doubt it is production - it's bigger than what's needed for the intercoolers , so it just creates slowing drag.

    Look at the second pic, cutting edges of the left rearlight: I think they will be much larger than the normal ones!

    i agree too extreme to be done is a production design.

    It is just there to confuse us

    You can also see the foglights and turn signals inside of the front bumper, I don't think that front bumper is real at all...

    I dont even think it is a mule, I think it is a "tuned"996... a widebody kit or so...

    No mule. Looks more like the "famous" Techart widebody.
    I never knew how to describe this car...ugly, uglier, ugliest. Horrible. If Porsche would build a Turbo with similar looks, I'd be gone as a customer.

    A mule would have had Georgia plates on it. Since Porsche is no longer based in California, the most the car would have now is California dealer plates on it.

    Re: New 997 Turbo Pics and Rumors?

    The spy pics look bad or maybe its just the angle. The wheels don't come close to filling out the wells, and the rear overpowers the front so much it looks like 2 different cars joined in the middle. Last years pics on track looked better.

    This should be the Ruf widebody kit. The car was displayed in one major US car mag and shown on several internet forums. If you look closely the badge on the engine lid looks pretty much like Rturbo...
