    Re: white Cayman

    The "RS" badge was always seen as something special, and to see it on a Cayman might be seen as diluting it's speciality - can you imagine Porsche ever creating a Boxster RS? (No offence to Boxster owners!)

    I don't think we'll ever see such a thing. In order to survive the massive depreciation and still remain absurdly expensive it would have to cost $200K USD.

    Well, GTS was a very special label too (from the 904 Carrera GTS) and they used it on the 924...

    Re: white Cayman

    Well, then they should not touch the holy "RS", but call it the cayman Supersport, or Clubsport or Cayman Extreme, or whatever... I mean, if the high heads in Stuttgart can come up with something brilliant like "cayman", why cant they make up a new name for an extreme racing cayman?
    Porsche sportster, Cayman Elise... whatever... give me some beers and I flap out like twenty alternative badges

    You won't need beer joust, just go to your local coffee shop. I'm sure you'd come up with some great names.

    A Cayman CS is very likely.

    RC - Does this mean, less weight, more power, dry sump, adjustable coilovers and swaybars (like GT3), LSD, etc? Any rumors will be appreciated

    LSD will be required (in large doses) for Porsche management to offer a Cayman CS!
