Another 6 cylinder variant of the Cayman and Boxster. Discussed here previously. Going pretty hard.

IMO....that's probably the 4-cyl turbo / PDK. Maybe it sounds a bit better at WOT with the new exhausts system

With other 718 variants getting a derivative of the 718 GT4/Spyder's engine and split exhaust layout (as per the above spy video), do you think that there will be a few GT4 clones out there if the rear spoiler, diffuser and side scoops are a bolt-on to the lower trim level 6 cylinder cars?

Burning Brakes
I was driving in Venice Beach to work on Friday in my Boxster GTS, a group of camouflaged Porsches passed me, a 992 Turbo convertible, 992 Targa, and a 718 Cayman 6. When I pulled up along side the Cayman 6, the German passenger complimented my car and I replied, "I love the sound of the N/A 4.0!" He glared and me, rolled his window up and wouldn't leave the light til I did. Its quite apparent when you see a Boxster GTS body but with the exhaust outlets like the GT4 and it had a definitive N/A sound.

Ohhhh Boy.....time to hide! I think he has been around under a new name......
Seriously, if they indeed do this the problem is how are they going to price it.
$10K below GT4? At this price level $10-8K is nothing when you get all the goodies of a GT car, most people will buy the GT4/Spyder, plus thinning out the whole 718 lineup.
Lower than that and you just torpedoed the GT4/Spyder...unless they detune the already detuned 4.0L engine or lower it to 3.8L?
This is the issue I have with the same GT4/Spyder engine on a lower spec (more economical) model.

Seems this will be a watered down version of an already detuned 4.0 (given potential for it's full wing span)
