I'm sure that, at a minimum, they are going to loose the side pipes and funky wheels and add some real side mirrors.

Also, change the bumper lines, new headlight and tail lights etc. Really, the only thing that will be the same is the general idea, and shape.

Yes the production car will look different both inside and outside if going to be built. Do not expect ready car at Pebble Beach this will be the place where pre-orders book could be opened, not the official production decision taken or so I have been told.

Actually, a production version of the 918 Spyder is how I got my 918 RSR started off. Look at the angled view of the front, and notice the altered bumper lines similar to the current 911.
