The Porsche's front skirts are more full-coverage.
Windshields are different.
A variability with wipers between iterations of the car.
No idea if the tire width is different.
'hope I live long enough to find out.
Yes I saw a pic of the replica in a tiny wind tunnel. I'd be reluctant to quote any figures from that. I did ask Dr Wolf if he could get the remaining 'real' car into the Porsche wind tunnel, but he didn't reply to that - other than to say the car is not owned by Porsche.
