I have seen a couple of inferences to the tank space constraints and the GT3 engine... amazed actually as the engine has nothing to do with the size that the tank can be.
Funny enough it is not far from the gas filler opening, basically located right below where the battery sits.
I know it’s in the front. But it might have needed bigger radiators or something or had brake ducts in the way from those hood ducts or something. I don’t know. Why make it smaller for no reason?

OK but the tank is nearly a cube in shape starting at about the lower body pan and ending below the battery, quite compact hard to be in the way tucked in there. Curious, smaller than what?

Or for the ROW standard at 64 liters, so a 90 liter tank is pretty much a 50% increase in size!
Ahhh, I missed the reference to the 'magnesium' aspect... So the link above is for staggered spec 21" rear, 20" front would that present any fitment issues considering the increased width of the rears?
Those won’t fit the 4RS - the Mags for it will be in same sizes as 4RS stock wheels (but they’ll be lighter and stiffer)
The configurator says it's 54L. It says a GT4 is 64L. That's all I know.
The German and Italian configurators also show 54L. I’m not sure why the US is still 64L but there are still some errors around. I’d thought the tank size was reduced to fit the parts for the front lift which is new in the Cayman. Now I see there is an option for a larger tank in Europe so hopefully that will make it here. I believe the right hand drive cars can’t fit the larger tank.

The 991 and 992 fits the 90L tank with no reduction in front luggage room (with lift). Not sure why 982 can't do the same.
Maybe it's already been covered, but it looks like the only thing between the engine and one's ears is the engine cover. Is that right? This thing is going to be deafening. There has to be some sound attenuation tricks they are using.
@halfmonkey what did you think of the color in person? Think the current offering of harness bars will work with the new engine cover, without limiting exposure to airbox?
