and the last.

Please note.

This is still the disguised car (the same as the pictures posted in another thread recently).
Headlights are disguised, nose and rear have covers over them (you can see the lines where the tape joins them!). The side intakes however look different (I have seen these disguised previously to look the same as the current ones).

The wheels are definitely new - and look huge!

i' ve heard a rumour that they are 19" .

 

[Mark_Bennett]

That was what the previous magazine " spy shots" said.

Oh well, I' ve had my " Letter of Intent" in for a while now! []

The changes are not really radical. A bit dissapointing really. It could be a current car with bits of tape on it.

 

[Mark_Bennett]

It is disguised to look like the current car.
Having said that the bulged wheelarches and new interior are pretty much all that seems to have changed...

You mean the flat screen pc monitor in the middle of the dashboard? I suppose it is the new in car entertainment system - DVD' s, CDRoms, internet surfing, TV reception, all at 150mph round the Nurburgring.
Is there no end to Porsche' s technical prowess?

On a race track with crash helmuts sported, shouldn' t the car be going fast enough to engage the rear spoiler?

Or are they parked for a photo??

PS Not keen on the wheels - style last seen on a 1980' s Volvo!

No! I was refering to the pictures previously posted of the interior. As you know - the laptop is monitoring the car for development.

Not at all.
This picture looks to be taken at Wehrseifen at the Nurburgring - the corner is easily slower than the 50mph that the (current cars) spoiler retracts at.

Also, as it is a development car, we do not know the speed that the spoiler deploys/retracts.

Mark,

I am sure I was going through faster than that!

- just kidding, I dont remember any of the corner names except the Parabolica!

 

[Mark_Bennett]

Parabolica!

You were obviously at Monza then!

As it looks the same as current car, except for the Bentley Type Alloys [:' (]
I hope it' s at least going to have close to 300BHP and some serious power literally under the hood, otherwise the competition will be having a right chuckle as they go past []

When the Boxster was launched it was streets ahead of everything including it' s own bigger brother (IMO) but by MY05 it will be in it' s 9th year and the first serious revisions so I hope Porsche will give us and the Boxster " S" the 300 BHP it always deserved but never got due to having to play 2nd fiddle in the power stakes at least to the Porsche Grand Tourer (996)[]

I think Porsche are winding us all up. I' m sure this is a MY02 car.

If they are then they are doing it with a lot of cars!
We saw about 20 of these running around at Weissach a couple of months ago.

However, it can take a long time between seeing cars running around and the final appearance in the showroom - here is a picture I saved in november 2000. Recognise anything that finally arrived in 2002?

You missed the best one off Helen!

This shows the oval headlights under the fake covers really well:
