Lots of speculation on those points already, but not much in the way of concrete evidence.
At that price, I'd expect the wheels to be forged, or at least "rotary forged".
I've yet to see a dedicated track brake pad that also worked well on the street, though there are plenty of claims out there suggesting that such a thing is possible. At best, if they really hold up under sustained track use, they're going to be compromised on the street, whether due to dust, or disc wear, or whatever.
Higher-temp brake fluid can be fine on the street as long as it's not contaminated.
Since I already have wider forged wheels, it's the customizable Track Mode settings that are the most exciting things. The fact that you can vary both the power/torque split between front and rear axles as well as the level of stability control intervention from OFF to "full nanny mode" is fantastic!
OTA updates for the win!
