In addition to more revealed wing and the side mirror intakes and CF hood with ducts, a few more things of note:

- Centerlocks
- New exhaust

and...
- PDLS+ with NO Nubs!!! (Likely won't be on the production version...it'll be normal with the washers).

If it has centerlocks and that grotesque wing, I just saved a bunch of money!

Can someone explain why the hate for centerlocks? Still new to Porsche brand so what am I missing?

CLs are not track friendly. Silly tools to change wheels, limited wheel options, expensive mechanism unlike cup car CLs. Not very street friendly--flatbed for any tire issue.

I'm pretty sure those will be on the production version. Not sure if the frunk and front fenders will be carbon fiber though.

Another thought after thinking back to a video I saw with Andreas Preuninger was he mentioned that on the GT4, the rear wing is adjustable. He said that if you change the rear wing for max downforce, there is something in the front lower bumper you would need to remove to balance out the downforce front to rear. Since the GT4 RS proto driving around doesn't seem to have anything "new" added to the front of the car except those nada ducts for the brakes, maybe these panels that AP is referring to is permanently removed on the GT4 RS.

Copy that. Makes sense.

Looks like the Weissach edition with centerlock mag wheels and front fender vents. Bigger side window scoops and tailpipes that looks like an inverted 935 pipe.

5. some kind of modification to front air curtains as it's covered up
6. some kind of vent where the rear quarter windows are

questions...
1. is frunk carbon fiber
2. are front fenders carbon fiber
3. is the car any lower than GT4 and Spyder
4. how is pdk tuned for this car/different hardware?
5. rear exhaust tips look larger
6. magnesium wheels

I'm scared to even think what dealers are going to mark this thing up!

I was looking through the pictures and these are the best pictures I've seen of the rear wing and it is seriously huge. It's kind of shaped like a crescent moon. Did I mention how large the wing is? Even the endplates are freakin huge. The rear flick up design is huge too! I mean dang.
