Truly, it's so subtle. It just strikes me as a styling feature.

maybe to bring air over the top straighter to focus more air on wing rather than around it?.. but its the same body as 997.2 so makes me wonder.. id say "new GT2" but its clearly not.. hmmmm What the hell?

the lack of sunroof and the dips in front of spoiler, carbon brakes and wider hips made me think GT3 but they already released that...
maybe this was just a test car for b4 the gt3 came out? cause everything about it screams 997.2 GT3 (maybe 997.2 GT3 RS??(i see the cage)???)

I like it The exhaust tips, the front bumper, the third radiator in the front bumper and the huge bulge in the tail... It may be the new Turbo or the GT2 
I kind of wish my car didn't have a sunroof... it's too heavy...

Roof scoop to add airflow to the new Turbo/GT2?
There are better/more efficient places to add airflow of course, but just throwing the possibility out there
