Default What about a Cayman RS 4.0?

Hello ladies and gents. I'm new to the Rennlist so bear with me if this topic has already been raised.

The GT3 RS 4.0 is out in limited volume - a good thing in the world of homologation considering the pace that GT3 RSRs have seemed to lack of late in GT3 and other racing classes.

We all know where the Cayman stands in Porshe's pecking order but consider the possibility of a Cayman RS 4.0 on the street and in GT racing. That ought to be pretty stout. I've just driven the Cayman R and written about it. The possibilities for the platform are certainly enticing.

What say you?

Keep an eye on BGB Motorsports. While it may not be raceable in any professional racing class, they're looking at doing a 3.8l DI Cayman...

At some point for racing or otherwise, someone will execute a Cayman with 911 levels of power, grip and integration. That will be one interesting car though not smiled upon in Stuttgart. I'm not surprised that Ruf or Gemballa, Techart, Hamann have held back from thoroughly 'tuning' the car but the temptation must be great.

Yep, in race trim I've seen in race many times and well if it were successful enough they'd still be racing it...
