Is rumored to be coming... I'm thinking it will compete with the Cayman GT4.
Supposedly 1400KG and 450HP. No back seats. Wing as you can see plus chin spoiler.
Suspension upgrades.

That will undoubtedly be a fast car, but I'd be shocked if they can drop that much weight and still make it US street legal. Also, quite a bit larger (and front-engined) to be compared to GT4.

I tend to think of a 2-series (M GTS version?) or non-hybrid i8 to be closer in concept to the GT4.

I'm sceptical. Why can't we just get a Cayman with a carbon-fiber tub and GT3 engine? Is that too much to ask?

GrantG

960 is going to address most of what you want (for a steep price).

neanicu

Because it would be a 300K Cayman.

neanicu

960 is not happening as of latest...

I'm curios if this M4 GTS is the new CSL...? And will they bring it to the States?

NateOZ

No reason it should be - I would even settle for a Cayman with a carbon tub and 3.8L X51 engine. Would be a GT4 worth owning...

If you're going to lose the back seats, I just don't see the point of the car. It seems like the only person who would buy it would be a BMW zealot. Why not just get the Cayman GTS, corvette, 911, lotus, used GT3, M2, or any other car built to be a track toy?

meh. had a 2015 M3. flipped it after 2k miles. too soft, too heavy, too much tech, hated the electric steering and power delivery, too much noise for noise's sake, too hammer-like when I was hoping it would be more like older M3's. a great daily driver if that's what you're after.

neanicu

For sure!

neanicu

You have a point there! Lots of choices these days... :thumbup;

neanicu

LOL! That was fast! How's the DCT?

Nizer

fine for an automatic. nothing wrong with it if that's your preference.

GrantG

Newest rumors seem to indicate it's back on - I think Porsche was being coy til they sold all the 918s
