Yep just like phones they gotta keep you coming back for more. Otherwise they make no money. Gotta pay to play. Plus it gets the used market into figures more can afford.

Highly doubt the RS will have 500hp. More like 440-450.

Figured I'd bump this. Looks like Porsche finally gave the Cayman the motor it deserves.

They didn't say a word about which engine it has. However I'm in agreement that they did, and highly suspect they're giving it the GT3's 500hp engine for 2 reasons:
1) 23 seconds a lap faster - wowee! 2) They're killing off the Cayman in just 2 years. This is basically their swan song so might as well go off with a bang, to hell with "offending" any 911 lovers.

The 4.5L motor from deman, that’s the ultimate engine for the Cayman.

I’ve asked my Porsche ambassador about which motor is going in that thing and they simply said they don’t know yet. They’re still fighting for future allocations. Although he did say if he had to guess, it would be a slightly detuned version of what’s in the gt3.

I think the reliability fix in this case is the additional air intakes in the rear quarter windows. The clubsports had issues with hot air coming off the side rads going straight into the air intakes and increasing the iat's, cant remember if it was Porsche or a part of the MR pack but they added air intakes in rear quarter windows a couple of years ago to fix that. Looks like its finally trickled down to the street car.
