What you see is merely some sort of cover intended to hide what is really underneath..

Yes...look at the tail lights. You can see they are recessed behind the cover. You can see the lines where it starts and stops.

I doubt that's a new turbo, just cammo on a 991 test mule of sorts. Somebody spotted one in NJ not too long ago as well. porsche always likes to test the new models in all extremes of their potential markets, ie US.

The "tail" is just probably there to cover up the new rear end.

EDIT: sorry didn't see it already posted.

I can't wait to see what it looks like underneath the wrap!

Nice spotting!
Personally, I'm going have to see the real thing when it actually arrives to pass judgement on it. Press reports and test mules covered in camo just keeps everyone speculating- and building some pre-release excitement of course.

true. Don't you people understand its a "TEST mule"? Do you think they would drive around with a uncovered 2013 991 turbo?
