Yes it could be a test mule for some upgrades or there could be something well hidden (As I said). Comments such as "we do know is that it's based off the same chassis architecture" is what I was countering. It IS the same chassis. This is not a second gen version of the car as it is so making such statements is silly. There are people here that swear the body lines are different and the car is a different size. It isn't! It is just a plain old body with a wonky bumper, some vents and a flair on the trunk lid. It is just a face lift "mule" probably checking out some suspension tweaks, the aero and whatever those vents are going to do.
We will see in a year or so.
