That would be the ultimate sendoff for a driver's car such as the Cayman/Boxster platform. I plan on keeping my MT GT4 a long time and it would be the only option that would make me switch to another car. I don't care how much faster a PDK is, it's boring to drive even on track. Gimme a GT3 powered MT Cayman please.

"The guy" (read, "the one guy") in Italy who did it, had to do some significant amount of fabrication I believe...did not get the impression he'd want to do it again. I think we'd see more offerings if it was an easily repeated process.

+1 If I can't replace my 6MT 718 GT4 with (essentially) the same car with the GT3 engine I might wait for the Electric 718 in a couple of years. I have been driving a BMW PHEV for 16 months. I have a total of 14,000 miles with 6,000 of those miles being in electric mode. I am learning to like electric driving in some situations. Yes, it is quiet, but that's nice for just driving from point A to point B. The acceleration of the Taycan is right up there with my GT4 as far as fun factor. And finally, we will be dragged in EVs eventually, even if it is kicking and screaming. I plan to keep the MT GT4, but I am not afraid of the Mission R. I think it looks pretty good. Think of it as a 718 for George Jetson.

please don't embrace the EV thing, it'll only speed things along...

Not sure what you think is being sped along but I like my family's EV. I prefer my spots car to be ICE though.
