Some rather ungainly angles in those CGI photos. I presume all that rump is the wide body. Aside from mirrors and RS "under over" air flow through the front bumper cover, there's not much to it. Presumably that means the RS will get the NACA ducts in the front lid (aka hood/bonnet.) and the distinctive engine cover deck lid and wing on uprights to give it the usual points of differentiation.
Well, as ever, all the good bits are hidden under the covers. Specs on the engine, suspension, chassis, geometry, materials, curb weight … then we've got something to think about. Given the likely "you've got to be kidding" price of this GT3, wouldn't it be nice if Porsche forked over some decent advances in the car … I'm thinking along the lines of them taking the carbon composite fenders, hood, etc. from the RS 4.0) and delivering this car under 3000lbs … and a bespoke center console delete and do away with that useless PDK shifter … and put a real manual shifter straight into the transmission tunnel …

But I do think it looks nice.
Not as nice as the Vantage V8, it's main competitor but a beautiful sporty street car all the same.

Even the article says: "These photos may show what the 991-based Porsche 911 GT3 will look like--or they may be exquisite renderings of the car. Or possibly both."
The for sure real deal in about 24 hours......
