After my previous announcement date gaffe, I decided that the next time I give everyone an announcement date, it's actually accurate. This time, barring any unknown catastrophe, I have received confirmation from good sources that the Canon EOS R3 body will be announced in September 2021.
I do not have the exact announcement date in September, but I think we may need to be closer to September before the hype machine starts rolling.
At this time, I have no additional features or specifications to report.

"Inclusion of cars and motorbikes"
As far as I have read, the 30.1MP sensor is still a rumor, and not officially announced yet.
Here is the information originally posted about the "resolution trick":
"The image sensor is all-new from Canon, as we know it’s a stacked backside-illuminated image sensor. Beyond what Canon has told us, I have been told that this camera will have a “resolution trick”. Does that mean it will have pixel-shift or something else? This will not be a 20mp camera like the EOS-1D X Mark III, so expect a very high-resolution image sensor."
