As far as Zuffenhausen is concerned, the Cayman GT4 is a closed chapter. The German automotive producer has now moved on to the 718 Cayman, but it seems that certain owners just can't allow the things to end here.
Let's take automotive designer Greg Thompson, for example. The man owns a Cayman GT4 and, despite the fact that the manual gearbox special makes him uber-happy, he couldn't help but come up with a Cayman GT4 RS.
We're talking about a rendering here, one that sees the mid-engined machine borrowing plenty of elements from the 991.1 911 GT3 RS, while also adding front apron air winglets.
And the "RS 4.0" badges on the side of the car signal that the immaginary uber-Cayman has also borrowed the Rennsport Neunelfer's 500 hp flat-six heart.
Of course, such a machine would be too much of a treat to the 911 for Porsche to build, but we could see an enthusiasts coming up with a real-world project of the kind one day.
The customisation trip started by unlocking the full potential of the 3.8-liter 991.1 911 engine occupying the middle section of the GT4, which was taken to 400 hp.
And, despite the Cayman GT4 already being friendly to the scales, the said example had been put on a 90 lbs (40 kg) diet, one involving extreme elements such as racing-grade seats.
Another example of a Porsche limited edition owner who decided to bring radical modifications to his beast involves the world's only 991 GT3 RS with a manual gearbox.

You have to see what the real world can offer when it comes to spiced-up GT4s
Now, if the story above make you weak in the knees, you should be prepared for much more - we'll use this tale to remind you that another Cayman GT4 owner actually built a home-brewed RS model, with the machine having been spotted lapping the Nurburgring last year.The customisation trip started by unlocking the full potential of the 3.8-liter 991.1 911 engine occupying the middle section of the GT4, which was taken to 400 hp.
