OK, I hear he's saying the curves and lines of the car are 'more aggressive' than on the prototypes. I'm just having a hard time seeing that Porsche would go to the expense of fabricating completely custom body panels to use on the 'mules', and not have the actual, 'more aggressive' panels on the car. There is just no way they would not do extensive road testing with the actual body panels on the car. If they have figured out how to put some type of covering on the actual panels that the journalists testing the car can't see, then my hat's off to them. Honestly I just can't see how they could do this though...And a guy who worked with the car and it´s a member of this forum clearly stated that the cars currently on the road are not finished!
Fair enough, they may be in ‘the know’The Automobile magazine article states unequivocally that we're looking at the final product with the exception of the headlight, taillight, and side vent 'stick-ons'.
We say camouflaged, but don’t tell Porsche that a pair of headlight, taillight, and side vent decals do little to hide the Taycan’s svelte and very 911-esque profile.
Actually that’s entirely possible. Porsche has stated every single car will be built to order. The mules could all have slightly different body work. In theory. I don’t think it’s likely, but it’s very easy from a strictly engineering perspectiveOK, I hear he's saying the curves and lines of the car are 'more aggressive' than on the prototypes.

I do hear PAG_J1 though, and he is the one that knows. I definitely see a more aggressive front fender under the cover, so if that's the true production car, then I can't remember a time when I'd feel better about being wrong!
they could also just have “padding” in the places where they want to hide certain curves and other more aggressive lines. Considering that all the mules have been wrapped in black and not painted that way. you can hide a lot of things under that wrap....... or not.Actually that’s entirely possible.

Yeah there's definitely a different panel under the mules - painted differently - definitely going to be pleasantly surprised at the final productthey could also just have “padding” in the places where they want to hide certain curves and other more aggressive lines.
