This is why I hate Porsche. Just make the car as good as it can be, stop with this holding-back crap
I'm thinking something like the 4.0 RSR. Only make like 150-250 of them, but give it range topping performance. Not as fast as a 911 turbo but faster than a Carrera S or even a GT3. I don't see how that would hurt anything as long as its very limited
Well maybe they should up the base carrera a little to leave room for the cayman to upgrade
I think whoever drove a 911 before will never prefer a cayman on a 911 even if it was a turbo
The money for porsche is in the 911. VW have been doing the same for years. The hot polos have never been as good as the GTis, despite it sharing the floor pan with the SEAT ibiza cupra, which is a good little car. like the 911 it's a core product.
@tyler, I opened this article and thought 'goodbye 911' then I saw flat four turbo. I get it. The 911 is THE icon but the cayman needs to spread its wings.
I can't stand how Porsche holds the cayman back just because of the heritage of the 911
I think there would be room for a limited run cayman Turbo RS. It would be faster than pretty much the whole lineup but very exclusive.
I love these cars, but I firmly believe that they desperately need to redesign these taillights
@Lou yeah i never thought of it that way but i see how you could think that
I'd want one if boosted
There already are tuning kits that add turbos to the cayman/Boxster ... google it
I wonder how long Porsche will play this game. We all know the cayman has more potential. I want some tuning company to make a viable turbo version of the cayman. It would be intriguing to see what the outcome would be.
This would make me want to buy a Cayman.
*lolz
I thought that it already did have a turbo Lola.
How is Porsche going to keep the Cayman from surpassing the 911? Eventually with it lightweight, superior engine placement, and constant increase in HP it's got to be creeping into 911 performance territory.
at first I was excited but not any more.. if they factory turboed the 3.4 then it would be a simple matter for someone to tune the cayman to its true potential!
Ummm.... The worrying thing is that they might go Eco with one model to go more balls out with another much more expensive one!!
Its Porsche, they will go down the eco route and the performance one ate the same time. ex. 918 spyder
The Cayman chassis can easily handle more power, I do hope they go down that route rather than the Eco route!!
My guess is 350hp $80k....just under the 911 base price
Cayman Turbo would be sweet. Only thing is it would probably cost more than a base 911.
