Cayman GT4 to get 3.8TT - 450HP

With a tune and a few upgrades this thing should be a monster....

Highly suspect engine prediction. It's either a 4 banger turbo, or a 3.4-3.8L NA flat 6

I'd agree the 3.8TT engine addition would erode a bit of the prestige of the 911, but many outlets insist that is what is coming. If N/A, I would postulate a 3.6 or 3.8 as the 2012 Black series had the 3.4, and the GT4 will be positioned above it.

This car is at the top of my "mid-life" crisis sports car list. So I'm patiently waiting on the hard facts and a release date. Early 2016 is my target purchase...........Phil

Now you know the mid-life crisis car has to be a small two seat whip. I'll order the driving gloves and fanny pack once the car is in the garage .........Phil

Get yourself on a Porsche dealer list. That's the trick to obtaining these GT cars. Some require a deposit. All refundable. If not, you may be waiting a long time for one.

If true then I may trade my Cayman S for one.

No release date. Porsche hasn't even admitted it's existence. I would guess a MY16

Just saw this!

http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/sc...potted-testing

I know it's just speculative, but I thought they wouldn't go FI until the next gen.

Porsche have done 4 cylinders in the past (both NA & FI), so a 1.6 litre doesn't sound unfeasible.

They may go all F1 on us!
