The porsche posted by evian has 3 vents as well, as stated above.
I think we just need to wait for proof, and not act like kids.
Taken from the FM website forums. This looks like the closest thing I have seen.
Switzer Porsche 911 Turbo
No, the fm4 pic has red tail surrounding the reverse lens. You pic has red in the top but it's too thin. The spoiler looks different as well.

Who's not buying if Porsche isn't in then.
I am regardless.

"What’s notable here is the inclusion of RUF, the tuning manufacturer for Porsche that most developers utilise when they aren’t permitted to use the prestigious Porsche license. But we all know who to blame for that *cough* EA *cough.*
One possible explanation is that Microsoft’s sub-license with EA for Porsche has expired and EA didn’t want to reimburse it. Unfortunately for EA, Ferrari is also in a similar position with Microsoft, so it looks like it’s about to show. After all, Ferrari were suspiciously absent from Shift 2: Unleashed and Hot Pursuit, and was last seen in a seperate DLC pack for the original Need for Speed: Shift with Microsoft exclusivity binds for the 360.
And just to ride that point home, Microsoft are flaunting Ferrari as their cover car. It’s almost as if Microsoft said to EA; “Fine, if you’re going to be greedy and not share Porsche with us, then no Ferrari for you. And just to make that crystal clear to the consumer, we’re going to slap a 458 Italia on the cover to spite you.”
Of course, this is purely speculation as it could turn out that both Porsche and RUF feature in the game. This would be unlikely however, as no game before it has ever featured both manufacturers simultaneously."

Beat me to it Justin, I was typing up the same post, almost verbatim.

I just think the website is pretty clueless.
No it's the wing and the rear view mirror look connected which makes the wing look weird.
The microsoft not letting ea have ferrari is not true. EA can use the sub-license they got fro ms but it would only be on 360. This would cause a huge uproar like shift 1 so ea just won't use it or else everyone without a 360 would be pissed.

Since Switzer isn't a manufacturer, just a tuner, this would only be posible if they had the Porsche license in the first place...
Would fit the picture perfectly.
I sincerly doubt they've used any modded cars in their presentations so far.
Honestly, I don't get why people are trying so hard to find a RUF that looks the part.
The only reason people believe that Porsche is out is because RUF is in, because GT did that 'swap'.
So, basically... "Porsche isn't in FM4 because Gran Turismo!" I mean, c'mon now, assuming that it was out in the first place because of that seemed like quite a stretch.
See, if T10 confirms a RUF that would fit that picture above, that's when I might consider getting 'worried' about this again.

Yeah, I should've said 'replacement', I guess. It's not just haters that are of the opinion it might not be in, though, I can assure you of that
Doesn't make much of a difference... I mean, I paniced a bit at first as well, but, really, I see little reason to believe in these rumours...

RUF is as good as it gets for games which don't have EA's permission.
But it is kind of od to be driving a Fanatec wheel on sims, and not be inside a Porsche. While arcade legend NFS has then.
Well there's always NFS 5!
(the one with Porsche only).

The only thing you're more than likely correct on is the first sentence. Because of that contract, T10 can not advertise the game with Porsche.
T10 have also not commented on the manufacturer being in or not, which is a good sign because if they know something won't be in the game for sure, they'll let it be known. They did that with FM3 when folks asked about open-wheelers & weather.
Well Turn Ten can advertise Porsche with permission from EA as the past games have shown. Forza 1 had a Porsche in the first trailer, 2 had many screen shots released, and 3 had a Porsche advertised in the lCE and was presented at e3, and the hot holidays car pack video. So it's not like Turn 10 can't show any Porsche.

Sorry guys, I jumped the gun with my earlier comment.
I probably shouldn't even be here, as I've never played Forza.
I've edited it.
But since they have been in all games thus far, as you've said, I guess one could assume it will be in the next installment.

It could be that with NFS: The run coming out shortly EA took the decision not to allow porsche to be used as in-game advertisement. Coincidentally, The one and only footage I bothered to watch of 'The Run' at E3 featured a Porsche. To me that sent a clear message.. "Porsche is in our game, and we are willing to flaunt that fact to our advantage"
O.K I was about to force myself to find a time stamp, but the lol thing is.. a Porsche is in the first 3 seconds of the video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQbm18oLbt4 EA are playing games as stupid as the ones they are producing IMHO. They could have used any other make of car for the 10 second intro, but it had to be a Porsche. lol

I guess they'll be proud of two things:
First, the money they receive from EA.
Second, their cars being shown to lots and lots of people, and then a few more
It kinda makes you wonder, though, did EA get some lifetime deal with Porsche? Or are they constantly renewing their license? I'd assume the Porsche license would really be worth a lot of money to quite a few companies.
