They mention that Porsche has said the GT4 will remain naturally aspirated. I don't remember them saying that. Should be interesting to see what they come up with, though.

My guess on those photos is that they are testing something on the suspension. They filled with foam the wheel wells reducing the spacing between tire/body and also have some kind of markers/reference point around the circumference of it....the rest just looks like a normal GT4

I originally thought that the foam "flairs" are required to remain road legal because of the wider track on this car. But seeing the car doesn't have front marker lights, it's not legal anyway. Thinking the RS will have wider fenders.
Interesting roof patch above the rear view mirror.

^ I wonder of the foam is a sacrificial mold, to test tire/wheel compression, movement and flex.
Go run the car, and then see where the wear points are and how deep into the foam it cuts.
And I wouldn't be surprised if those "reference points" are the remains of double-sided tape for some sort of fender they were testing.
