We don't really know much else at present. The speculation is that it will be powered by an engine something between 1.5 and 2 litres in capacity with either four or six cylinders.

I think there will be two more drivers so that they have three for each car in each round. Two can sometimes be a disadvantage as far as strategy and, simply put, human fatigue. Oliver Turvey and Brendon Hartley are the first two that come to mind, followed by some veterans like Guy Smith, Jeroen Bleekemolen, and David Brabham.

I think ironically if Porsche had quickly come out and confirmed everything regarding 2014 this thread would be around a third shorter.

No, because a few people on here REALLY like to talk....
Here's some more to chew on: what are the car numbers going to be? 5 and 6 (like Penske)? 9 or 10? 16 and 20 (like when Dyson used to run the Porsche Spyder)?
Also, what about a third car at Le Mans? It seems to be within their (massive) budget...
