why are they "pushing" the car when it is clearly running?



Awesome looking car!

Maybe because there are no seats in it, and they don't want the guy to be actually driving a precious prototype while sitting on a milk crate?

Some photos of the Roadster









Headlight's def. look to be fixed in place, windshield looks awesome. Wish they produced this car. Shift knob is also diff. Interesting interior, wonder what happened to the seats.

Thanks for the screen grabs! Watching that video is a frustrating experience with everyone walking in front of the camera.



Some observations:



- It appears both horizontal body lines on the door have been softened. Flash, you like?

- Look how the 'shoulder' of the rear bumper flows into the rear quarter. Nice detail there.

- I wonder if the headlights are functional. They don't appear to be 993 units.

- Notice the shape of the tail light is different, and it has lost part of the center groove.

- Recessed PORSCHE lettering gone from rear bumper. 'Roadster' badge in its place.

- The location of the A pillars and outside mirrors has been pulled back a few inches compared to a cab.

- It appears the lower rear corner of the door has been rounded off.

- No exhaust tip(s) evident. Wonder what they had in mind?



Neat car. I hope Porsche brings it out sometime so we can see it in person, like BMW just did with the prototype M8, which was on display in Monterey last August.



Side Note: While searching google for 968 cab pics to reference, I discovered a pic of James Woods driving a 968 cab from the 1994 film 'The Specialist'. If I recall correctly, it was a fairly horrid Sly Stallone / Sharon Stone pic.
