Yes. In fact, the GT3 RSR Hybrid that they ran in some endurance races (albeit unclassified) this year did VERY well.

Saw this qoute in the FREEP article on it:

“It’s a very fun car that very few people can afford,” said Rebecca Lindland, an analyst with IHS Automotive. “Their return is more symbolic than anything.”

What is this supposed to mean? Of course it's expensive and only a few people could afford it, it's a cutting edge world class racecar, made by Porsche, a company not generally known to make cars that are affordable to the general public. (or should it be "by" the general public?) Anyways, thought it was just a strange statement to make.

Not the race car version.

With a closed top, it resembles the Cayman. I'm sure Cayman owners are pleasuring themselves while thinking of this.

I didn't want to open this can of worms. But price and performance aside, it looks like it would make a GREAT next generation Cayman - from a styling perspective.

Am I wrong?

Like I was saying...:laugh: But yes, the next gen Cayman should look like this, as should all new Porsches, and all cars in general.
