yep

Looks like the wide body in the first pic/s

Still no huge clues with these pictures, the first car has a second tab on the rear wing, which is a small step in the right direction for me. But clearly, neither rear PU is the finished article here and I am not sure that we have seen the final front one yet.

The wait goes on and the key questions still remain unanswered for me...

Looks like two of the cars that were filmed in Spain last month. Where two cars had the 991 aerokit rear spoiler and one had the standard 991 rear spoiler.

No kidding. Hopefully they've just run out of plastic sheets and tape so stuck this one on in lieu of a camouflaged proper one.
I was really hoping they were going to get a working floor/diffuser going on now its on the RSR.
Actually, Im still solidly hoping they somehow turn out a total monster of a car that embraces all that's Porsche in spirit/character
20" wheels sort of suggest I'm screwed though lol.
That and how badly Porsche want the new cars pictured suggests its not as work in progress as one may hope.

one might argue that they were simultaneously out of touch with both purists and luxury car buyers; it seems like they have decided that luxury car buyers offer more hope for their future.

Spot on,porsche have been out of touch of the purists for a long time now,the latest gt3 and rs are bad enough,don't make it any worse with pdk as well.
One step back in time to aircooled would allow them to design a nice clean front end, without big ugly air intakes and reduce the drag considerably.;)

Purely speculative but I think one of them is running the 991 RS engine.
