wondering the same thing, how does it pass US DOT regs without a window there?

Easy. The Boxster doesn't have a window there either. Same side visibility. You're worried about passing visibility cert; look at the spyder.

A lot uncovered, but the front bumper corners are still taped over. It looks like 2 inlets where the rear quarter windows would be.

Love that they went full RS mode for this...I hope the engine is closer to 500bhp and that Porsche doesn't hold back their baby RS car. Also super curious to see the window inlets closer / how they function?

When has Porsche ever had such a big increase in HP between the RS and not RS GT car?

Agree. Silly to even think Porsche would do that. 450 would even surprise me, given that the gt4 non RS is 414hp.

when they are transitioning to electric vehicles (isn't the Taycan their best selling vehicle?)
this will be a first, but why not now? if in fact, this will be the last NA Cayman/Boxster

and will it be numbered?
will there be a Spyder version?
videos looking more and more like the all of the RS bits are there, aero, tires, suspension, better breathing (i.e. side window air inlets), why not big hp jump?

when the 992 GT3 is announced there will be plenty of room for GT4RS hp and price increases

if dealers are already planning $100k ADMs, then I think the rumors of limited edition/numbered cars is very probable

all unfounded speculation on my part

p.s. the 718 GT4 is being dumped for Aston Martin GT4s, so if Porsche doesn't want to be tail-end Charlie....they need to make the racing GT4s competitive

$100K adm's? If that is the case Porsche should produce more.

it sounds like the gt4 to me. And it has the split tailpipes. So doubt it. Im also seriously thinking it will have the same pdk as the gt4
