Lol. Zactly, but don’t forget the cup holders and deviated stitching.
As to the GT3, I'm no aero dynamic expert but my understanding of the purpose of a "swan neck" rear spoiler is to place the wing higher and further back so it engages more of the wind stream and thus creates more down force.
That rear wing pictured doesn't look like its any higher than the .2GT3 wing or further back. Maybe I'm wrong but that's the way it looks to me.
Also the venting in the front seems like a new style of venting replacing the single vent opening running the width of the front frunk on the .1 and .2 GT3, GT3RS and GT2RS. A re-design that likely moves more air.
Tip toeing forward, which is the Porsche way. Good enough for base GT3 but let's hope they take big leaps with the RS. Just slap plates on one of these - done:

I noticed the front hood vent is slightly different color than the rest of the hood. It’s more matte or something. Makes me think there’s still camo on it and it’s not the final look.

Purpose of swan neck wing upright is to clear up the underside of the wing to promote better air flow (mainly during cornering where air flows at an angle) thus increase down force.
also you don’t want to place the wing “ further back” without significant front downforce. Or it will create cantilever effect and lift the front of the car.
as for higher wing, that is reserved for RS

I suspect that mule is quite close to production. they've iterated the rear wing for quite a while now - and they're not going to sneak it into a commercial if the specs were subject to drastically change.

GT4 RS at apox 3:56 showed some weight transfer (back end squatted) in what may have been a gear shift? Would a PDK create that much weight transfer? Maybe there will be a manual option. Perhaps I am over thinking it, but PDK have always been seamless when I've driven them.
Thoughts?

Can someone photoshop some color onto this bad boy? Think about a bright color with an all black mouth. Also, picture the hood all one color... I think the car will look amazing. Sign me up and take my money!
**Also, note the seats def look like buckets. Hopefully not a repeat like 2014 where US cars only got sofa's.

Love the front end, but it looks like even the GT3 treatment can't save the junk-in-the-trunk *** end of the 992. Just awful.
