That pic is just of a regular fender with possible test, pre-production ideas, vents covered up. There is nothing about it that indicates its a wider fender nor does that pic show what you are talking about regarding covering of the fender/door gap. One can clearly see the gap between the door and the fender.

Correct. Based on my GT4 build and comparison to the German price including VAT and assuming that LWBs are std in the RS this would make the RS over here ~$145+ base.

That link is nothing but click bait from a car sales site trying to drive traffic for a dealer.

There's a bunch of stuff still disguised. The vents in the front wheel arches are covered. Hood has extra ducts. The rear side (presumably intake) is disguised. The wing is much bigger. Centerlocks. Looks like the standard 'RS' formula to me.

The wing supports look weird. They don't fit the car.

The swan neck supports are supposed to be more aero effective. So function over form. I prefer the wing on the GT4 personally, but a big part of the RS is aero so I'm sure that wing will have a positive performance impact (along with the other aero bits exclusive to the RS)

They look fake and tacked on, like something this person would talk about.

But all joking aside... are these some kind of direct air intake to the engine?

This is the new engine air intake kit developed for the GT4 Clubsport...it was first seeing on this "GT4 RS" and then on the CS
