Those are Iron rotors!!!!! they don't have the hardware needed for 2 piece rotors....really hope this is an option...come on Porsche make CL an option too!!!!
Those two things could drive the base price down a bit more, making the base price a bit less hard to swallow....and making us track rats a lot happier!
Pccb is always an option, but CL seems standard on RS.

Yes...but being this the "lesser" RS and a different price point they might offer it...well it's wishful thinking on my part as we haven't seen in a long time the test cars with regular wheels.
I'll take the Iron rotors and keep the CLs....if the rotors are an option they just saved me some $$$ and having to buy the AP RadiCal kit (more $$$$).
Was not expecting the cut out on the front fender behind the front wheel. That's interesting and I'd be curious to know from an aerodynamic's pov how that helps, I assume, with drag and/or downforce?
This is really mamby-pamby of me, and maybe it's just the photo angle...but the first thing that came to mind was how much **** that cutout is going to allow to fly towards the back end. Gonna have to put like 5 layers of ppf behind it to protect the paint.
I imagine that functional aero considerations drove the design decision that called for the fender cutout behind the front tire. But there is no PPF that will save the side of your car from all the s*** that the sticky front tires will be constantly media blasting the side of your car with. Just zoom in on some of the original pics and check out the carnage on the rear of the lower rocker, the front of the lower rocker, and the rear of the front fender on this test car.

It will drive me crazy, I can’t imagine how will it look like after several miles.

Another theory is that they fitted wider wheel/tires...they needed to change the fender anyway for the vents and made it a bit wider, but in order to make it flush with the door and rocker they trim it. At the front of the bumper it's already modify with the corners.

Trying to decide if the rear fenders look wider? The rear diffuser is designed a little different on the sides, and the rocker being more pronounced makes me think the rear fender is a little wider to accommodate wider tires.
Nice, can't wait for the reveal with more details! The side window intakes are bigger than previous shots and protrude more as well. The fender cut aft of the front wheel seems to align with the front bumper air curtains. It would be interesting to see wind tunnel airflow data, but the RS looks to have significantly more downforce than a GT4.
