No no no, it's not an engine lid.
As I was discussing with GT4 earlier today, the 991 doesn't actually have an engine, it's just got a couple of fans. It's these fans that generate the power to propel the car.
That rectangular black chute between the fans is where you put your kitchen waste and is Porsche's Tutonic-ised version of Doctor Emmett Brown's Mr Fusion device:
That 'engine lid' is just the door you open to clean the kitchen dirt and grime from out behind the fans, once every 2 years or 20,000 miles whichever is sooner.

I believe the definition of a lid is a door on or over a box or compartment. Often hinged or removable for access to the compartment or articles within.
Thus an "engine lid" has to allow access to an engine.
On that basis 991s do not have an engine lid, but simply a fluid access area lid (and dust trap).
