Not as such...... Autofarm have built and are marketing a 3.7 RS Cayman, and there's Karel's "Cayman GT"....track car, which i think you may have seen at a track day at Brands some time ago??
 
Was very impresed recently at Spa with a white Cayman Cup Car run in the French Cayman Cup Series ......... an ideal project hmmm..... Anyone taking on such a project or indeed have a similar spec car here in the UK?
 
Des, I absolutely agree with you. Cayman could be the modern day 964RS ... The new direct injection engine should be good with all the bits that failed designed out --- WILL they do a CS ? It would be great to take a CS and rag it on trackdays to the point where the copper bottomed quality of Porsche could be re-established ... may I nominate myself to the task ?? [:)]
 
Just been loaned a new 3.4 S --- very fast and competent, but anodyne in standard trim. Strip out 100KG's and add 40 BHP (to GT3 Mk1 levels) --- full cage, narrow Nomex Recaros, LSD, single mass flywheel, remote reservoir dampers, sticky tyres, forged alloywheels and possibly shortened ratios with steel synchros, and this would be a formidable track day special. And semi slicks will be on the menu until at least 2015 ... Please.
 
Porsche missing the boat deliberately here (UK) ... Cayman M003 Factory Spec/French Cup Car ... WOW!
 
How have the Cayman racecars got over the problem of wet sump oil starvation under cornering with slicks? There is a disclaimer re use of sticky tyres for this reason in the Boxter handbook . John
 
Isn't there an article on this in Porsche Post ? Why not a dry sumped version of the new DDI engine ? Porsche must be a little pressured to prove this new engine after more failures than they could have hoped for with the previous standard engines ... Though there is nothing made that can't be broken !!
 
According to the new Cayman brochure, the new engines already have 'Integrated dry-sump lubrication'. "The purpose of integrated dry-sump lubrication is to guarantee a reliable oil supply while reducing engine temperatures, even in sportily driven cars."
