I haven't seen a thread, if there is one then ignore this but I did notice some subtle differences when going through the tech specs last night (obviously won't list drive train deltas):

RS:
- Lighter rear glass
- Navigation and dual zone standard
- CF interior has different pattern
- Door panels are lighter (maybe b/c of storage net?)
- Buckets don't have the padding for head
- Steering wheel has black center ring around airbag
- 49.9 vs 50.0" height
- 71.7 vs 70.9" width

I was surprised at the width of the car, specs say mirrors are folded so does the RS mirror stick out more?

Info was posted in the GT4RS thread last year at introduction including pdf detailing changes.

I got through 50 pages on that thread and gave up (it's over 400 pages on mobile). If anyone has the PDF please share, thanks.

If you find it I’ll edit and post at the top of the existing thread.

I suspect it’d be within a day/two of the 16 Nov reveal

Also, that rear metal looking trim piece in the rear compartment is a darker color on the GT4 RS.

I read the GT4 RS has more negative camber, and longer rear toe links. Does anyone know the RS alignment specs? Has it resolved the toe change under braking issues?

Here is the German version

Not sure but I believe that is a Euro versus NA spec, the pictures of a LWBS in a GT4 in Euro doesn't show them, yet in NA they have them... easy to add or remove.

I can't recall at the moment where I saw it or read it, but the GT4 RS has a completely different front chassis assembly than the GT4. Under the sheetmetal, from the front bulkhead forward, the GT4RS uses the 991.2 Carrera 4S front chassis. This change was made to accommodate the front axle lift system, and supposedly also makes the front end more rigid VS the GT4.

Edit - This article references the front end change on the GT4RS (although this source is not where I heard about this from initially),...

Savage Geese's video on the GT4 RS includes a presentation by Porsche including some of the design changes

I have some screenshots out of that video. But PDF version was more than 27 MB, so not easy to share here.
I will only load couple below which are showing the main differences:
