Apparently the online builder will go live at the same time.
I would say full specs will be avail from after LR press conference @ frankfurt on the 10th

Hmm nah, its Nurburgring, most of the big mags have guys that send them vids constantly on all different cars. @ 3 seconds they look surprised to see.
You see another photographer at 6 seconds. At 47 seconds he is shooting a bmw.

However I believe you have to have a media licence to "legally" shoot at the ring (basicaly the ring has to approve the vids).

Could the camera guys have sources from the inside tipping when they are testing?, sure. Could they be tipped off officially? sure. Is it likely considering these guys camp out there all day, probably not.

Check this out. Nurburgring censorship

On another note, look at the wheels on the SWB @ ring & Lego, pretty much exact match.
Rear of roofrack how it has middle cutout for Ariel also matches the one seen on swb pilot in new york from memory.

Also Aus delivery dates,prices,and colours,although appliance white will do me.

So, with only a couple of weeks to go before reveal, time for the really important question....
- what colour will the reveal car(s) be ?
If you were marketing it, what would you choose?

First time I've ever heard appliance white as a thing

Prices will be very interesting, though I realistically don't think I'll be a buyer for a number of years yet.

Have to agree with you on colour too. As much as I like the look of my Nara Bronze D4, and as much as I have a deep desire for something in a very British green, the damage that the Aussie scrub has inflicted on my side panels over the past 2 years makes appliance white an almost inevitable requirement for me.

Yes I love the nice colours as well,but after having a dark coloured D2,and other vehicles,never again.

Our later ones were all white,and the scratches polish out for good.no worries.

Although one we had was Maya Gold I think it was called,not bad either,didn’t show the dirt.
