Default Difference 996 Cup / R / RSR?

Can someone point me to the differences between those models? Obviously the R/RSR is a lot wider, but what are the mechanical differences?

The differences - R, RS and RSR Cars have:
1) 80-100 more horsepower when unrestricted
2) less weight with all carbon body parts
3) much bigger brakes
4) all solid bearings in the suspension
5) more rear wing
6) large cell with dual dry break
7) adjustable shocks
8) wider front wheels and room for bigger tires
9) 996 RSR uses uprights that raise the spindle to lower the car
10) much bigger ARB's that are blade adjustable
11) electric power steering pressure pump in front trunk
12) 996 RSR has fully aerodynamic flooring
13) super strong pankl axles
14) brake bias adjustment - cockpit controlled
15) Magnesium BBS wheels that are much stiffer than cup wheels

Other than those things, they are basically the same.

Interesting. Is there a big difference in running costs, compared to a Cup?
