Rep Power: 225 as you can see on the last picture, the a$$ is pretty big!

Its "***" doesn't look any wider than a 991 C2S to me (at least from these photos). Does anyone know if they are going to try to make a full red taillight/red reflector on the rear as they did on the 997.2 C4/C4S?

I read somewhere else, that the AWD models will have increased a$$ size by 4cm 
.
Another thing I notice looking at these pictures is that there is this bag we know from the 997 and the other predecessors hiding all the screws etc. of the spoiler kinematic. I hope this is a new feature of the model year starting in June... Looks way better in my opinion!
Best!

Rep Power: 225 i think it will come without the red reflector stripe.
the taillights are not level with the space between them.
it would look dumb with such a stripe, also there is too much lettering imho for an additional stripe.

I can't make out a difference in width from these pictures either. But given that this appears to be a test vehicle, there's a good bet it's a C4 version.
Maybe images from dead behind, or 3/4 front would give us a better clue. But to me, this doesn't have a different shape than the 991 C2.

Regardless, thanks for posting the pics. My heart wants to see a wider rear end, but my mind is having a hard time actually seeing it with these. With summer coming, I'm sure the C4 rumors are going to start heating up!

Seems that Porsche has tried to differentiate the 4's with wider body, reflector strip, etc. My bet is there will be new elements for the 991 4's. Can't wait to see what they come up with!

Yeah I saw this earlier but like others I'm having a hard time seeing this is a C4S... wondering what they based their "knowledge/opinion on to say this is definitively the C4S?
The pics I've got on my computer screen to grand me the patience in my wait for the C4S are these 2, the black has a lot of camo and the white one is a render of a C2S but still... that's what I'm holding out for.
It seems to be working.

looks great with the red stripe no doubt, but i think because of the new back end, taillight design of the 991 there is almost no hope.

The only thing that could be worse is that it won't be a wide body!
Talk about wasting time waiting for that might never happen...
I BELIEVE... for now.
Oh BTW I didn't read any reason why they state that this IS the new C4S... did you?
Cheers!
