The Cayman GT4 may have been released a couple of months ago as the most powerful and most track-focused Cayman->ke5 yet, but that doesn't mean Porsche->ke1 is done with this new nameplate. And we have this new video->ke278 from the Monza track as proof that Stuttgart is already working on what appears to be a race-spec version of the GT4. Don't let the standard bodywork fool you here. Take a closer look and you'll notice the winged Cayman is equipped with not just a roll cage, but with a set of racing slick tires too. So what are we looking at here? Could it be the GT4 RS, a slightly lighter and maybe more powerful version of the already amazing GT4? Nope, I'm certain this mid-engine sports car->ke506 is actually a track-only Cayman set to become the company's entry-level race car.->ke148

Rumors of a Porsche produced to fit the FIA's GT4 regulations surfaced in 2014, when Porsche Motorsport boss Hartmut Kristen said Stuttgart is considering a race car that would slot below its existing range of GTE, GT3 and one-make Cup racers, all based on the 911.->ke282 Kristen insisted the car would have to be "more affordable, less sophisticated and probably more fun." Now that the road-going Cayman GT4 arrived as a more affordable and definitely more fun (read: manual transmission) version of the 911 GT3, it's safe to assume the vehicle shown above is actually a race-spec, mid-engined racer.
