A fabric-on-composite cosmetic (ie eventual production design to differentiate cab from coupe) might explain why the fabric on this roof appears so taught:

How about a GRP (or even arbon reinforced plastic (CRP)) folding roof, like Mazda MX5's folding (hard) plastic roof?

Some drawings that may be the possible composite roof design (if these are the eventual design patents):

The color of the wheels and tailpipes seem to change in the video.. :roll:
 
It's a bunch of different 998's I think. I reckon there's 2x Carrera S cabs, 1x Carrera S coupe and a Carrera coupe. The "turbo" ducts are actually stickers.
 
First Porsche with standard ceramics? I like the new spoiler design but the front looks bland :(

p.s. roof would fit with the shift in the new Z4 and was that the sound of turbos I heard at 1.20
