that looks like the one, but just bigger bench on the rear trunk.
that hardtop looks awesome, is it a hardtop, or completely molded into the body kinda coupe car?

It looks like it may be an early Zeintec prototype. The current version replaces the deck lid with a lift hatch, ala the Cayman:
Zeintec USA

Guess you guys did not read my post earlier. I talked to Antonio at Precision Porsche who made that hard top for a customer. It was a one off. But he plans on making more. I told him to e-mail me as soon as he has some made. I'm looking forward to it.

Hey, you can't read everything  If he is going to make that top, I would follow the lead that Zeintec set for the quarter window. Zeintec made it look integrated with the existing side windows. That triangle port hole just ruins it for me.

I could live with it the way they have it. Actually I like it better that way. Guess it's all a matter of opinion. I just think it starts with a more solid look like the O.E.M. hard top. Looks like another pillar that way.

I like the Zientop, it's just way to expensive. That 2 tone job looks silly. It looks realy nice when its solid. But not worth removing the rear trunk just to give you the "Cayman" look.

I agree with, "if you want a Cayman, buy a Cayman", in fact, I have no need for a hardtop... that's why I bought a ragtop.  Mine is a daily driver, 70/30 top down.
As far as the two tone, I believe that pic is designed to delineate the top / car for marketing purposes. Also, apparently, you don't lose the trunk, it replaces the existing deck lid with hatch back access to the trunk. That said, the swap appears to be a rather more involved than; lower top > set hard top on > tighten spin locks.

I knew that. I just meant that you have to remove the stock trunk deck lid. With the other aftermarket hardtops, you don't have to do that because the top does not go back as far as the Zientop.
