From what I can see, I'm seeing a real folding hardtop, with the canvas only put there to put us off.
Agree, look at the loose fabric when folding. The canvas is only a disguise. To me that would be a big dissapointment.
There is definitely something hard at the top. So, is it a combination of soft and hard top ?

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
it will be a semi soft top with rigid parts to strenghten it.
however, something about above pic looks fishy. mechanism looks too bulky and complicated to be the real thing.

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
Porsche's US Patient filing indicates the convertible top can have a variety of materials - glass, cloth & colored panels to match the cabs color. We may be seeing the first of the cab top options.

I'd like to se classic 911-shaped rear lights on this baby
Excuse my poor poor skill with Paint...
haha, when I first saw your drawing I said: "wow, porsche has really gone radical with this one; they now use paper instead of tailights, to keep the weight in check". That explains why this car will be 50 kg lighter than the previous one, eh ?

Doesn't the rear window look like it is made of flexible plastic? Porsche moved away from that many years ago. I can't imagine them going back to a plastic rear window now. I wonder what this picture really is about...
Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
The 991 coupe's body styling makes the 991 look almost British. Its the longest tail 911 ever, wich is good for improving high speed stability.
The 991 Cabriolet as shown with the top down is a visual disaster. Ugly be thy name.
As with all new model Porsches, the 991 will likely be quicker and out handle and out brake the prior generation.

Maybe that's why it looks "wrong". Sure, they were useless anyway, but you could use them as storage for a case or shopping bag at least

Re: Porsche 991 GT3 to include GT1 motorsport engine...
BIgger is not something that will benefit the 911 IMHO. My 997 already seems rather large for a sports car, and the 991 appears to be headed toward even more volume. It seems to me that the engineering for the folding hard top has resulted in the lengthening of the wheelbase rather than the perceived need to increase the size of the rear seats, unless of course Porsche has foreseen future generations of morbidly obese infants and children requiring the additional space.

My thoughts also. The longer / wider (i.e. more is better) approach only goes so far. Makes me cherish my current car even more.
