It's just another way of guiding more air around the wheels especially the front wheels since the wheel wells create a lot of drag and lift. Cleaning up this air not only helps with reducing lift but it also reduces drag which help with mpg. By adding that additional plastic piece to accelerate more air, it'll reduce lift even more. Again, my guess as to why this is being done is because they needed to balance the front with the additional downforce from the new swan neck rear wing that is also higher up in the airstream.

I thought the NACA ducts on the frunk were purely for the brake ducts. Since no official word has been released, it's anybody's guess right now but I suppose it could also add a little bit of downforce or remove a little bit of lift somehow. PAG and AP must have thought it was worth it to add it on what will be a very low volume car...not limited, just low volume.

The info on the hood is from the GT3RS launch but who know if they work differently as the front end is also different, but as mentioned brake cooling is their main purpose.

It's possible that the CS doesn't need those because maybe they're making up for the needed front end downforce by adjusting or manipulating the front diffuser. If you go back to the video I posted earlier, AP discussed how on the GT4, if you change the angle of the rear wing, you will also need to remove something from under the front bumper to balance the car. He does mention that if you do that you will achieve more downforce at the expense of drag so with the CS, maybe that's already removed to begin with. Again, I don't know for certain but entertaining your question with some thoughts and guesses.

Even with that available too uncomfortable to drive around town?

it will likely be an option
but you will be roundly booed on rennlist if you select tht option

My guess is that the bucket seats will be standard and you'll be able to option free 18-way seats like on the GT3RS. That beig said, why get sofa seats for a more track focused GT4?
