Obviously, I don’t have any experience or qualification in comparison to John… but… I think Porsche will be more ‘sophisticated’ or less direct…
I really think they’ll use the space that is currently occupied by the pretty useless storage bins behind each seats.
These things go down so deep and with a change to body in white could provide opening to the engine bay with space for routing and mating into the intake tracts for each side.
It wouldn’t be as aggressive as the CS MR or John’s solution, as there wouldn’t be as much room for the expansion chambers/cone filter chambers. But could still provide decent additional colder air and some more pressure vs just the regular air inlet position.
Just my W.A.G really.

It will most likely be the same thing I did with our intake to emulate the approach they used. I always figured the car was a mule for the window intakes because of how cannibalized the rear interior is to accommodate the intake. If that intake went directly to the car you would have zero trunk space. Now you have less cabin room and storage than a 911. I'm anxious to see the back of an RS tho because it's very Porsche to render the back useless for more performance so it makes sense that this intake that started as a need for our US based race cars is going to be used to jazz up the RS. This intake makes IATs = within 5F of ambient and it has added pressure. I've already shown how it pushed our 4.2L from 179 - 183 at Daytona by adding this intake AND the 92mm Hellcat throttle body.

1. ITB's and cold air side window intake
2. Inlet cams plus valve retainers plus porting
3. Suspension parts from the CS
4. Akrapovic Ti exhaust
5. Lightweight wheels, frunk, vented front wings, roof and glass
6. Maybe 992 LWB seats
7. Wing and a couple of other "aero" bits.
8. Special launch colour with matching interior bits and of course lots of stickers.
9. Power around 450-470 bhp
It will still be a Cayman with the suspension limitations that implies so not a 992 with double wishbone front and multilink rear. IT WILL BE A VERY NICE CAR.

Wait... they changed the LWB’s for the 992?? I had no idea!!
So does anyone think there’s the slightest chance they stuff the DWS from the 992 into the front? The GT4 has pretty much a GT3 front suspension right? Though it’s obviously easy to put the 991 components in there. Would the 992 stuff need a completely unrealistic amount of change to the body to fit them in?

Besides the front subframe section of the 992 is a totally different design from the 991/981 series, different modular series between the 992 and the 718 series.

The 992 LWB seats appear to be the same as 991 but you can order a buch of different (but tasteful) inset colours. I personally wish they'd offer the fold back carbon seats in the GT4 so it would make it easy to stuff coats etc back there.

Since this is all speculation, let me add my tuppenance worth.
1. ITB's and cold air side window intake
2. Inlet cams plus valve retainers plus porting
3. Suspension parts from the CS
4. Akrapovic Ti exhaust
5. Lightweight wheels, frunk, vented front wings, roof and glass
6. Maybe 992 LWB seats
7. Wing and a couple of other "aero" bits.
8. Special launch colour with matching interior bits and of course lots of stickers.
9. Power around 450-470 bhp
It will still be a Cayman with the suspension limitations that implies so not a 992 with double wishbone front and multilink rear. IT WILL BE A VERY NICE CAR.

Not really, the difference is subtle. It's mainly style difference, the shoulder support on 992 bucket seat are more squarish than the rounded design of the older style.

Found this today and haven’t seen it added to the thread. Looks like the Swan Wing. Too bad they couldn’t get a look at the side profile.

Would it make sense for a car like this to come with a Weissach package? If this car comes out to be a 130-135k car, what are the chances of a Weissach package of 15k+? And what would it even have? Magnesium Wheels?
