Yes. Someone noticed yesterday. It's there, but you get an error when you attempt to select WP or PTS.

All 3 models have fundamentally the same motor with slight plumbing differences (as well as Speedster and GT4 RS Clubsport).

It would be quite a coincidence if the plumbing changes resulted in such exact round number differences in both power and torque among the 5 models, don't you think
Yep. That seems about right.

Neither is PTS (Custom Paint) and magnesium wheels; they've been disabled from the configurator since early yesterday.

I'm hoping they are just updating it for the painted stripe option.

When I spoke with my dealer a few weeks ago, they gave me the strong impression that ED was a bonus for them, because they get another allocation (not necessarily of the car you buy, but another allocation), and so they put that in the Plus column for me as a customer interested in a GT4 RS.

With this dealer, I placed a deposit on a 4 RS four years ago and with another dealer SIX years ago (this month, in fact), and I still doubt I'll get an allocation.

That is crazy that early and you don't think you will get an allocation. What dealerships? Park Place in Dallas? Champion in FL?

Yes, ED has always been a net benefit for the dealers (yet many were too shortsighted to appreciate it). However, with the current production shortages, it’s a huge benefit to the dealers.

Same sizes and offsets, but centerlocks for 4RS.

Looks like slightly modified wheel carriers bring the increase in track widths, as wheel offsets and sizes are the same.

How much wider is the track front and rear?

Some info I’ve seen suggests 7mm Front, 8mm Rear.

AP did mention front track being increased, (and you can see it just by looking at the car vs casual GT4, but he didn’t specifically mention much about the rear in the launch video though.
Initially I thought this might have just been down to revision in arm lengths via larger LCA inner, which is an easy thing to do.
