If Porsche gets rid of the Chapman rear struts in favor for multilink, this may become the grounds for their next RSR race car.

The name and this "In addition, the new sports car not only fulfils the great demands made by the Porsche customer in terms of sporting performance, but also, through its well-conceived space concept, allows all kinds of leisure time activities", suggest a it's gonna be a 3 door coupe with lift-gate.
Nice car, shame about the name...

The marketing dept allowed a sports car company to build an SUV. That sounds more far-fetched than allowing a new, nimble, mid-engined platform to reach its true sales/performance potential.
It should be interesting to see where the Boxster/Cayman are in 10-15 years. Will they be relegated to the 924/944/928/etc ranks, or will they become the new long-term bedrock of Porsche sales?

Race versions were the 968 TRSThere were only 4 ever built,1 in 92 3 in 93. There were also 14 Turbo S version built (The street version). 1923 Club sports were built between 1992-1995 they were built for the street, although people usually purchased them for their track car. I think the Cayman has a lot of the same characteristics in common with the 968.
