Buteo Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 (edited) http://www.digitaltrends.com/cars/new-kid-block-porsche-cayman-gt4-revealed-gt3-rivaling-450-horsepower/#!bIomJG Stopped into the local Porsche dealer with a friend that's number 1 on their list for the new GT3 RS. We got to talking and the manager kept raving about the GT4 and it's potential performance for the money. Porsche GT3 tranny mated to 3.8L twin turbo 450hp. Of course PCCB is an option along with oodles of carbon fiber goodies all for around 120ish. This wasn't from a salesmen, but the manager of the dealership that spends lots of time over in Germany. So now I'm number one on their list for the Cayman GT4. :gabe: Now I wait. Edit: forgot to mention he said it will be wide bodied. Similar in change from base 911 s(not 4s) to the 911 turbo s.

Jewtoys Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I like! Considering my next vehicle purchase which will happen in a few months, considering a few used Fcars.... I really might have to look into this, I hate you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 Considering my next vehicle purchase which will happen in a few months, the hardcore Cayman won’t be out until at least 2016. :fuuuu: I Love the idea of this. For years people have cried out for a Cayman with 911 specs, and gone through a great deal of aftermarket support to make it happen. :megusta::megusta::megusta: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Karacho1647545492 Posted August 22, 2014 Report Share Posted August 22, 2014 I know it's a crazy idea, but could it be time to retire the vanilla 911 in favor of the Cayman? Let the Cayman be what it was originally designed to be (as good as it can be, and faster than an equivalent 911). The 911 can become a halo car of sorts, purely in Turbo/Turbo S/GT3/GT2 spec. Cayman can fill the range, from base Cayman spec (entry level) up to GT4 to compete with the "lower" range of 911s. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base 911 is much more roomier than the cayman...and people will always buy a 911 purely because it's a 911. For example- a surgeon I work with wanted a porsche for the name/style/look and he just picked up a 4s purely on aesthetics. He had no interest in the cayman because it wasn't a 911 and the idea of a turbo/s/gt3 frightened him. Not to mention it's been confirmed porsche makes about 23k for every 911 sold. http://www.autoblog.com/2014/03/14/vw-earns-23k-per-porsche-sold/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 I like it. I've always liked the power/performance of the 911 turbos, but not a huge fan of the look. This thing has both Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AudiOn19s Posted August 23, 2014 Report Share Posted August 23, 2014 As a track rat I love the concept of a high hp cayman but I'm disappointed it's a turbo car. None the less it'll be amazing and since it is a turbo car it'll make 550hp pretty easily given what will be left on the table from the factory.

I'm in no position to be a Porsche guy yet, but I've always found the vanilla 911 to be...well, vanilla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
