I thought the same thing when I originally saw the video, but decided the video was too blurry to really tell. But when you see it flip and the exhaust pipes starting from the front of the car, it is more of a giveaway.

In fact, I originally caught this video on Autoblog. The article title called it a 911, but now they've updated it and also speculating that it's a Z.

Also, you can see when the brake lights are lighting up after the car comes to a stop for a few seconds that the third brake light is at the top of the rear window, not underneath, like a 911.


I think that's a Cayman right there, no?

I believe it's a 350Z due to double headers in the front of the car. I don't think it's a 370Z due to the length of this particular car. Cayman is midengine, thus headers would be more towards the rear.
