Wheelbase and Track
According to blueprint shown by Thomas Freeman (on ‘Petersen Automotive Museum’ YouTube channel) wheelbase is 2342mm (20mm forward and 50mm backward relative to 1987 Yellowbird)
track width:
1432mm front and 1530mm rear

Porsche Fahrer, issue 6-2020 specifies different:
1445mm front and 1500mm rear

There's more: in 2021 Max Beelaerts (on ‘AutoTopNL’ YouTube channel) mentioned three available body width options: ‘narrow’ body, ‘turbo’ body and 2.5cm on each side wider than ‘turbo’.

Regarding the chassis, I wonder how they planned to implement this: by moving pivots? various upright? spacers? wider wheels?
As for the body, it seems particularly expensive for a small batch — production costs already divided among just 50 cars and two extra widths means tripling price of molds and stuff.

So far, I haven't found any proof of a wide variant implementation. Rather,
there is footage from 2024 (on ‘TV22’ YouTube channel) showing an unpainted SCR body (naturally aspirated sibling that obviously doesn't have an intercooler) where you can clearly see the seam around where the air intake would be if it were CTR body.

Moreover, according to the Japanese importer website, CTR and SCR have the same width.
