Lightbulb Spy Shots: Porsche 998 911 mule

Spies posted around the Nurburgring have caught what's likely to be the next generation Porsche 911 undergoing testing. The 998 mule is wearing modified 997 body work, with the addition of blistered wheel arches hinting at a widened track and a makeshift wing providing additional downforce. According to KGP, the quad exhaust tips pulled from the Carrera S aren't fitted as flush as the 997 model, so space is likely tight in the rear, while the roll cage proves that the new platform is still in its infancy. Expect the 998 911 to debut late in 2010.

Nice find DJ. That's going to be one wide SOB. Hope they are using light weight materials in the 991/998. 2010 seems highly unlikely.

What's the reasoning behind relatively extreme widened wheel arches? Could it be to make room for a flat-8?

What do you guys think?

Just curious
