Nice, but I'm not interested. Yet.

There have been rumors of an eventual GT4 based on the Cayman. If that ever happens, and we see Porsche apply full development resources to the Cayman, then it could be extremely impressive and compelling. Seems it would risk cannibalizing the flagship 911, which would be a deterrent, but it could ultimately be a superior package.

340hp??? With the incremental HP bumps of 5 or 10hp the Cayman might get to 400hp in another 6 generations… Sad that they continue to throttle the Caymans potential.

Not very compelling to be honest. The GTS had always been a little bit more special than just a optioned up car. I.e. Power kit motor with wide body for the 997, or tuned v8 and body kit for the cayenne.

Mooty,

Just buy a cheap base donor for $50k and put in a 3.8 for 25K.
