    I don't buy this. I mean, this info just sounds a bit too much like internet forum hash. Besides, spy shots have shown the 998 mule with the double-bubble roof and a (faux) ducktail testing. But that's a different car entirely.

    What they don't mention is that the "source with ties to Stuttgart" is actually Stud Beefpile, so everything he says is probably bullshit.

    I do look forward to the brown leather interior, however. More cars need this leather, and more cars need to learn how to execute it properly.

    @Deartháir wonders why Gawker won't believe...: Hi, I'm Meat Steakhands, a close, but lesser-known associate of Herr Beefpile, bringing you live updates from Stuttgart.

    With the most recent news of Porsche re-employing their use of the "Duck-tail" in their line of sports-cars, the animal rights and environmental movements in Germany have been up in arms! As I can see behind me, there are at least 3 people outside Porsche Headquarten, standing in a very straight line and orderly opposing the supposed usage of these "Duck-Tails" in these cars. Oh, wait! One of the Protesters just made an angry gesture in the direction on Porsche headquarters! Oh the humanity! So much disorder! Mein Gott!

    Reporting live from the war zone, I'm Meat Steakhands. Back to you, Stud.

    @layabout returns: It seems photoshopped though.

    As much as I love the original ducktails, I believe they probably don't have the most aerodynamic design, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was a little different from the one pictured. Probably rounder on the sides, or something. I'm not quite the expert on the matter...



    I'm not sure what I'd prefer though, a classic ducktail or a slightly updated design, incorporating the latest developments in aerodynamics... Either way, I'm sure Porsche will do a fine job with whatever they end up doing.

    @Syrax: It's amazing how different the "GT" 911s are from the Turbo. The Turbo is fast but ultra-isolated. The GT3 and especially the GT3RS make you feel like McQueen.

    While this thing is fucking impressive, they better not be sullying the idea of the "limited to 5" runs by claiming that each special edition will get its own run. A coupe and a roadster I can deal with, but if they announce a Zonda Cinque Limited Edition next year with different wheels and a paintjob and say they'll be making five of those, then I'm going to dub them the new Veyron.

    I see what they did here: while cleaning the factory in anticipation for the new model, they found most of the parts they would need to build five more cars, so they fabricated the missing parts, payed some consultant to come up with a "clever" name and this is the result.


    meh.
