The Capgras syndrome is a delusion that occurs when a person thinks a close relative, friend, or even a pet has been replaced by an impostor. Despite recognizing familiar appearance and behavior, those who suffer from this consider their close ones havebeen substituted for a double.
What if such a delusion were to happen within the Porsche Neunelfer family? Well, since we're talking 911s, any member of the group is brilliant, so the possibility of this leading to an issue isn't exactly high.

Still, when a 911 Turbo S replaced a 911 GT3 RS PDK, things do enter the oddball realm. We can say this is the process that takes place in the pair of images we want to show you today.

However, we're not being delusional here. Instead, we're dealing with the exact switch mentioned above.

Coming from David Coyne Photography, these images show what happens when the most expensive 911 on offer (that's the Turbo S Cabriolet, but never mind such details) thinks it's a GT3 RS and steals the track-savvy model's Lava Orange launch color.

Sure, both rear-engines coupes use rear-axle steering and both pack PDK transmissions, but while the Turbo S is the line-up's fastest all-rounder, the GT3 RS is the sharpest tool in the shed.

Compared to the extravagant aero elements that adorn the Rennsport model's body, what we see here might even be labeled as a tame approach to a 911's visual side. But we should expect that when talking about matters that bend the mind.

P.S.: Those of you curious about how Lava Orange looks when splashed on a Macan (perhaps a Turbo) need not turn to their imagination, as we've recently brought you a story on the topic. This is our way to answer a question nobody asked and we're glad we could help you with such colorful Zuffenhausen details.
