The R speedster "mock up" was shown to 918 owners at Geneva last year, in a back room...
Not all owners, just the ones who were there as part of the Spyder Circle trip, which also involved being flown on IWC's private jet to the watch factory, dinners, R advance screening etc, they all paid for the privilege, but it did happen.

As for this year's model - I think there will be a GT3 PDK, and then there will be something else with manual etc, but it won't just be a swap of the box and a 'wing delete'

On second reading i appreciate you said 'mock up' on your RL post, and understand that from there to production is a long road

Just got contacted by my OPC with a rather cryptic offer. My rep just called it a GT3 and "the car that I was waiting for" (especially after Porsche let me down twice with the R).

It looks like it's going to be manual (which we already know will be an option) and with an aero without wing (which I explicitly asked for). I reckon it must be the car that Porsche engieenrs tested as 991T (for Touring) last Summer.

Anyone else got contacted and might know more? That I am excited is an understatement

Looks like you might be getting the car you've always wanted Dr S !

I assume this is just the de winged option code for the GT3. No news on R speedster yet.

As per Car magazine saying X90 option Touring spec manual only with no wing, same aero as 911R plus leather and corduroy seating apparently.
