Scale Model Fan
Introduced at the 1977 Geneva motor show, the 928 model was the second step of a plan to transmute Porsche from the traditional maker of rear-engine GTs to a producer of a range of more luxurious front-engine cars. It followed the 924 by two years and, at term, was to replace the 911, then perceived as reaching the limits of its potential. In the end, it would be the venerable model to survive all of its younger siblings. Soon enough it had to be admitted that the 928 would never be able to replace the 911. As a luxury coupe crowning Porsche鈥檚 range, it was a worthy automobile though, and enjoyed a long career. More and more equipment and constantly enlarged engines brought ever-increasing prices. If the sales of the original 4.5-litre, 240 hp cars were limited, those of the last 928 GTS, with their huge 5.4-litre, 350 hp V8 were almost anecdotic. The car was retired in 1995, and Porsche would not renew the experience of proposing a front-engine V8 car until the Cayenne, introduced seven years later.
Yes, it is happening, but as I was saying in the intro of this article, the road going Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 will not sport the 3.8-liter, six-cylinder engine like the Clubsport. If we exclude the 3.8-liter, six cylinder, two options remain for the road going version of the 718 Cayman GT4 - the 3.0-liter turbocharged engine from the latest line of 911s, and the 4.0-liter flat-six from the 911 GT3. I鈥檇 like to see an N/A engine inside, but the 4.0-liter, flat-six from the 911 GT3 develops 500 horsepower which means that it would need to be considerably detuned for the 718 Cayman GT4. However, as Car and Driver stated a long time ago (in 2017), after their talk with Andreas Preuninger, Head of GT road cars at Porsche Motorsport, Porsche isn鈥檛 looking to put the turbocharged engine in the Cayman. If this philosophy hasn鈥檛 changed, the 4.0-liter may really be on the table for the 718 Cayman GT4.
