RWS, now I can't remember why we thought this car would not have it--slicks, homologation, unsuitable for racing?

the existence of RWS implies a weight similar to that of the gt3. the benefits of CF and Mg will prob be negated by the larger wheels / tires and wider body.

Did they say if PCCB brakes will be standard or optional (like with GT3)?

Agreed. That would put weight equal to GT4!

I assumed it would have RWS given how much effect Porsche claims it has on track times for the GT3. Without it, the RS would possibly be slower and that wouldn't look too good.

100kg would not be possible. Maybe 100lb if you are very very very lucky. Increased track, larger wheels tyres fenders and bumpers will all add 80lb so the panel work and lighter interior will be working hard just to offset twist. Best hope is 1395 kg and even then may be marketing speak....
