Sounds like they used a lot of GT3 components which is awesome! I'm even more excited for this car now!
I'm continually impressed with how Porsche bargain prices their high performance cars (except, maybe the Turbo and Turbo S). Looking forward to a repeat of that with the 991 GT3 RS.
Pay attention to what AP says about the 'new' rear suspension pieces. I think this will prove to be one of the greatest improvements to date on the Cayman/Boxster platform...and might be 'epic'!

(Or is it just an artifact of the low res image?)
No, it's not 'Acid Green'. It's 'gt3' yellow!

Yes, first time we see it on the 981 or 991, although it should be the new option 'SportDesign' steering wheel coming up on the 991.2 face lift so we will see more of it in all 991's pretty soon - and probably regular 981's too!
It's also great to see no CL wheel on the gt4. And the five bolt design wheel is similar to the 991 gt3 wheel...and will be the envy of many current 991 gt3 owners that would have preferred to forgo of the maintenance-intensive Center Locking wheels they got on their gt model!
Also note that we don't expect the Cayman 981 to be face lifted until MY2017. This allows buyers of the GT4 later this Spring some depreciation 'relief', since they are not going to see the facelift for another 1 1/2 years!
Absolutely stunning - and it is priced very well! I wonder what the Boxster version of the GT4 will look like.
I am assuming that the carbon bucket seats will be optional?
And I think we will know how serious Porsche intends to be with the gt4 when they release the specifications on its rear suspension. If they are earnest in their intentions to compete at the race track with this model, I predict we will see a significant improvement to the rear suspension of this vehicle over the current 981 set-up. ...if they turn this model into a competitive racer! But if they do, at this late date, there is an ulterior motive behind it.
