Club Sport Cayman S
According to Autoweek.com, Porsche is working on a Club Sport stripped version of the Cayman S. With 305hp and special lightweight panels, no ac etc.
Scheduled for sometime in 2006. I really hope we get this car in the US too!
Prototype Cayman S has already bested the 997 at N'ring.
I am setting my target right on this car with fingers crossed even if it were to cost as much as the 997, I'm still there! I want a sportscar with no frills ala GT3!

Bike addict, I sincerely hope porsche will come up with the cayman c.s., it will be awesome. We had an extensive discussion on the rumors of N.ring times etc., it is difficult to believe that porsche will make the cayman sportier than the 911...but I hope they do. If the specs. are as rumored, that's my next porsche.

Sorry, i wasn't precise with my first post, there was a thread based on this following article
http://autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=101865
If you go to the third article on "related stories", you'll find a mention of N'ring times, FWIW a person who had seen the final version of the caymanS had said not to believe the whole story, so it's all conjecture at this point, and almost 100% certain that this article is NOT entirely accurate.

Jeeva,
Last month I sent a survey to almost 200 US dealers. Here is the information I collected. I think this is what you are looking for. I have my deposit in.

Most dealers will take some type of deposit on any car. Even cars that are rumored and possibly never produced. I know that there are dealers taking deposits on the 997TT even though Porsche has not officially released the specs.
There were a handful of dealers that decided they were not going to participate because they have no information on the car as of yet. I think that is strange if a customer wants to give you a $1000 to be on a list why not take it. I am also holding out for the CS version of the Cayman. Since there has been so much coverage on the CS model I would have to imagine it is going to happen.

Porsche will not build a Cayman CS version for the United States. I have this on the word of a top executive at PCNA. He stated that the CS version is only even a possibility for Europe and that hasn't even been decided yet and there will certainly not be any CS version for the US. So don't hold your breath or waste a deposit IMHO. You want a Cayman S, fine, go ahead, but CS, I think that's a pipe dream...

Can a Cayman S be stripped down to "CS" levels and does everyone really think the CS would be that much better of a track animal than the S?
Perhaps we should wait and see the actual Cayman S?
Ah, the fine art of speculation...

If porsche makes it, absolutely....one thing is for certain, porsche may not be the company it was a generation ago, but if they come up with a club sport version dedicated for track use it will be one mean beast...just look at the 996 gt3.

Excellent point....
Ah, the fine art of speculation...
Indeed,....especially when the caymanS is rumored to out perform the 997 at the ring...and my guess is all the powers of german engineering is being put to use on the caymanS to lower the performance with the utmost stealth
I cannot imagine porsche coming up with a version that may even out perform the gt3...so I agree it's highly unlikely for the c.s. to be produced at all.....

This car thing is an addiction, it was a weak moment on my part...Now, I will at the least wait for the caymanS before I consider any deposits. Thanks...
