Marakji: Sport Chrono is the dial on top of the dashboard. As you say it does not have impact on performance but I recon that interior of the car looks better. The Radio RCD 30 (if I am not wrong with the code) has the same size of the PCM so there will be no "holes"!
Carrara: thanks for the explication mate! Unfortunately I do not have info on eventual Canards.

I always found it ugly on the dashboard, and has no performance feature on GT cars, unless the carriers and the turbos... Anyway we'll be having that discussion SOON )) hahaha

Carrara,
wonderful renderings!
Is it possible to have a "shot" from the back?
Do not kill me please...

I finally received some info on the LE today. It's different from what we've been expecting. The source is credible, but that doesn't mean he/she is 100% correct. Here's a summary.
1) Porsche will not announce the car on April 7th. They don't announce new models on Thursdays. They also would announce a car of this magnitude at some type of "event". There are no events on April 7th. My source said the announce will be in May, but no specific day given. Porsche feels that they announced so many cars in the last few months that they want the dust to settle. This will be the last 997 announced and then the 998 will start to get revealed. LE's will be delivered to US in August and Sept. That would be a major disappointment. We've already waited a long time.
2) 4.0L yes. 485 HP, not 500. NO PDK.
3) CF Hood and Fenders from GT2RS - No Surprise
4) Only slightly lighter than the GT3RS
5) New graphics and paint schemes - no surprise
6) Aero will be enhanced, but don't expect RSR style aero
7) Two tone interior options ala GT2RS.
8) Some suspension tweaks
9) $185k MSRP. With CF options it's over $200k.
Overall, what I took away from this is a limited edition GT3RS that simply combines the GT2RS and GT3RS body parts with a 4.0l engine. I'm hoping it's a little more unique than that.
