Default Wide-body Cayman?
A friend just shared this from IG. What do we make of it? Making room for electric assist motors?

It's an old one with central exhausts.
Probably part of the clubsport testing from long ago.
Or some aftermarket putz.

Flatsixes web site just published an article this afternoon indicating this is a test mule related to the next-gen car...

Rear suspension looks entirely different and the brake calipers are also mounted in a slightly different position to current. It's not a 981 or 982 chassis, but aside from that they could be testing literally anything with a Cayman shell on it (which clearly needed extensive mods to fit)

Still, a next-gen mule is likely.
