The foam only extends on the front section of the arch...it sits flush on the top. And from the photo you can see the wheels are really tucked inside.....doubtful this is a wider track version. Also, tire look like they have a lower aspect ratio????.....the reference points could be for a system to track the movement of the suspension on each end....

Fake News...

All of the GT4 RS threads are pure comedy to read.

I did think it might be too early in the product lifecycle to release a 718 GT4. Heck the 718 GTS is not even out yet. I think the next generation GT4/Spyder will probably be 4 years out.

Yeah, they need time with the platform to see how it can be tweaked and get ideas for what to even do with it. That takes time.

It wouldn't surprise me if PAG was approving certain tidbits prior to posting. Kind of like the control they have when new models get driven by the press and what can be said afterwards.
Since PAG reads forums this could be looked at as a survey where responses are recorded.

I got info the GT4 announcement is end of this year, but it will be another 12 months to receive it in Aust, 8 months for USA.
