How many street cars have full slicks?

^ True about the slicks, but this is a premier, they could be on it just for show.. I cannot see a racing only car having those doors. It looks to me a LOT like the 918 Spyder (thinking mostly about the front) but who knows... when is this show again?

If it's another race car I'm not gonna be happy.

Get rid of half the 911 range, you'll still have 40 911 models left. and give us more super cars Porsche.

6:30 AM is the unveil.

I think I was right! 918 RSR!!!!



It has a spoiler, racing wheels, it looks just like a 918, and the video makes frequent reference to the 917.

If you pause around in the video, the cover reveals features JUST like the 918's, and you can even see the outline of the 918 headlights.

Also, I spy a #22 on the GT1 style doors... This is the most obvious tease video ever. It's a 918 ready for the Nurburgring.

Every post you make is a speculation on every different car it could be.
They could have previewed a bathtub and you'd already had a rendering and claiming they took your idea.

The car has a 918 silhouette, there are racing graphics on it (BOSCH, PIP), there are RS Spyder racing wheels, and Porsche just so happened to claim to be racing a 918 at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring.

Let's not let an awesome thread and video make us go at each other. Let's just be happy and excited that Porsche is making the 918 even better than it already is!

Who else hopes Porsche will race this in GT1 at Le Mans!?
