A few new pics from Porsche 991 testing in South Africa...

998 Test Cars in South Africa - pics and video (by calypso)

I got a call from a friend and manage to see some of the 998 test cars + two test Boxsters. The pics are very crappy, old Blackberry ftl, but I had a chance to look the the Carrera's for quite some time and tried to take in as much as I could. 

All the cars have daytime running lights, they looks like a cold cathode tube under the LED indicators. Wipers are updated Bosch, windscreen cowl is quite different too. The engine cover looks like all the vanes can change angle, and underneath it is a large wing that retracts completely into the body. 

Only 1 had carbon brakes, and those has a visible 997 part number, they rest looked like they were running standard 997 brakes. Also I tool a look underneath and counted 6 pipes in the manifold, so I dont think those flat 8 rumours are true. 

Also strangely there was a 997 there disguised as a 993, not quite sure what the point of that was...
