Thanks mates
I hope that some Porsche experts like st-anger or lakatu will be able to confirm that
I saw this street version on the Paris 1998 Motorshow and it was stunning !!! Too bad they didn't produced it but I think that the new carbon fibre structure would have implicate new crash tests ...

Sorry Yann but I really have little to no expertise in limited production racing homologation. Maybe st-anger will know. I wish I could be of more help :roll: .

Got to disagree with that one - I like the look of the Cayman from some angles, but I don't think it can touch the classic lines and 'hips' on a 911 - especially when in wide body C4S/Turbo form

...sorry for beeing late with my response but i think i can help here quite good - the white GT1 in the pic we´re talking about is a PAG car and there´s only ONE in existence, it´s a 996GT1 - if u like - "pre-production" model with a metal-sheet structure, unlike the at least 20 1998 GT1´s with a full carbon fibre body for the homologation, nevertheless the white car has a EG-registration ( no individual reg. ) just like the 1998 GT1s so a regular car - i think i have a video of it around, will post it when i found it...

hope that helps a bit...

Thanks a lot st-anger, I was sure you would help me on this one
So there was only one street car with this particular body and it is a PAG car, correct ?
And I am waiting for the video

I like the Cayman. If they make a CS version it will be an awesome track car!

Not for me, IMO the 997 looks really good... on the other side, the Cayman looks weird

I think the Cayman is a nice change, i mean the 997 looks great but the 911 has looked good for decades

ehm, sorry? what was that? my opinion is: ONE PIECE OF FUGLY CAR.... but the 997 and even the new Boxster looks great (and I never liked Boxsters before...).... howgh, that's just my opinion
