Rear spoiler such high above the roof level? Or it's just how I see it? Also no information about any proper testing program which in my opinion only tells that car is in very early development phase.

I think the same.There is a new Opel Corsa model slated for next year, so its not commercially wise to spend major money and time for a car that should be replaced in 6 months time.The car that will be in Portugal is surely a prototype with next gen chassis and current car bodywork.

On paper, maybe. But you could easily do the same with F1. Because the final regulations weren't set until end of 2025, things were changing every time. Well you know when engine regulations were...
