Has anyone looked into what it would take to create a Cayman adventure or safari car?

Is there anyone out there doing it?

We have seen this becoming more popular with the 911s, but I have yet to see a road going version with the Cayman platform.

 

 

 

Would that be just a lifted version of the gt4 rally car?

 

The GT4 rally version looks like what you're after. Long travel suspension and different wheels/tires are the key parts, with a skid plate added. Leh Keen might help you out with ideas or even part numbers if you reach out and are serious; he's building sweet 911 safari cars these days.

 

Man, I'd love to do a 987.2 Cayman S rally car. The 911 Safaris floating out there are getting crazy money and I'd be afraid to drive them, but a 987.2 rally would cost a fraction.

 

Ever do this?

 

There are a few Cayman rally cars in Europe. The ones that I know are a 2.7 and a 2.9 in the UK that run a lot (Fox Martin and Carannante Ciro), one is a 3.4 in Belgium that has done a single rally (Cailloux Marcel - Rallye Condroz 2016), another UK one being built in 2019 by SVP Motorsport, and a 3.4 that was completed in 2020 in The Netherlands (Jan Nijhof) but due to the pandemic it didn't race to date. As far as I know, they are all in tarmac specification.
In 2019, a 4.2 V8 Cayman was being built for Andrew Sutherland in Washington, USA to also run on gravel. As far as I know, it didn't race to date.
