      Apparently that's not going to happen...

      At least he admits it. So I think we pretty much know this will be a turbo four-cylinder then. That is how they will get around the Cayman performing the same or better than the 911. They just will not give it the same engine

      Regardless, a 991 GT3 swap should still be feasible on the flat-6 Caymans...

      I'm fine with a turbo four... it suits high altitude driving better anyway. I just hope we're able to crack these new ECUs to allow for some tuning.
