Earlier in the year Porsche showed us a Cayman GT4 Clubsport rally car. It looked excellent and sounded superb. So what stage is production at? "We had drivers, teams, fans, everybody excited," Porsche"s motorsport boss, Frank-Steffen Walliser, told us. "Even the WRC"s top five drivers all wanted to drive it. It"s pure rear-wheel drive and just the sound of the car as it comes through the woods, it"s really loud. "A demonstrator was purpose built and we got some experience, how to set up and where to put a spare wheel. What to do with tyres, everything. There are already lots of old 911 GT3s competing in the RGT category, but their level of performance means they have to be toned down a little. The GT4 should land just at the right point. We need to sell 100 to get the green light."
