Porsche Prepping Hardcore Cayman RS?

After recently seeing spied images that hinted towards a possible RS version of Porsche’s popular Boxster , new evidence in the form of this photo set would seem to indicate that the Cayman may be getting the RS treatment as well.

The blazing orange Cayman S seen here has an expanded rear wing which is fixed in position, as well a set of splitters up front that would indicate an enhanced model. A Cayman RS would theoretically be stripped down for advanced performance on the track, perhaps even getting a mild bump in power in the process.

We’ll likely know for certain what exactly Porsche is up to after the Geneva Motor Show next March, and are free to let our imaginations wander in the meantime. Scroll down to read the shooter’s own words and check out the beefy Cayman in our gallery above.

Last month we showed you a possible Porsche Boxster RS with big fixed wing in the rear. Now it’s time for a possible RS version of the Cayman.

 

With a different front spoiler with splitters, and a bigger rear spoiler this Cayman looks different than the normal Cayman S. In this case the rear spoiler also looks like it’s fixed.

Whether it’s really a RS version or not, our guess is that we have to wait at least until the Geneva Car Show in March to get an answer. But it sure looks interesting and we also believe that a lot of Porsche freaks would love a hard core stripped out Cayman RS.

We can just dream about 30-40 horsepower more and 100 kg less. But sometimes dreams come true.

Looks like they copied the Gallardo Superleggera paint job and styling cues

Not a bad place to start though

Nope, certainly not :)

Actually, it would be the other way around. See any early model 911 RS.

Good call Mena. That had totally slipped my mind.......
