Got it from Rennteam:
They wrote: "3.8 Liter großer Sechszylinder der S-Version - Leistungszuwachs auf 400 PS"
which just means: 3.8 litre six-cylinder S version - power increase to 400 BHP. (They just distinguished from the non-S version).

Yeah. First thing I thought is this:
Smart money knows that Porsche is going to continue to develop the mid-engine (Cayman) platform because it WILL BE the platform that can defend the Porsche brand in a decade. They intentionally forced it to be subservient to the 911 in its first iteration. It will evolve into the leader. The Carrera GT shows this. Soooo, the Cayman and Carrera GT actually have similar styled headlights... just as this photo does. I wouldn't be surprised if this car is mid-engined and NOT a 911.

Nice round headlamps, the way it is, and should be
