XTR Carchip Porsche Cayman X-Wide, very wide Never heard of these guys but Jcay sent me a PM to check this on Autoblog so thought it was worth a post.
"We're not overly familiar with XTR Carchip, but the Berlin-based tuning company caught our eye with its "X-Wide" Porsche Cayman project. Designed as a daily-driver-turned-track-tool, the 987 S underwent a major exterior overhaul, with a detachable CFRP front splitter, fenders, side skirts, carbon fiber exterior mirrors and an adjustable rear spoiler, along with a set of three-piece, central locking 18-inch BBS RS wheels wrapped in Pirelli rubber.
Inside, the stock stereo and air conditioning remain, but a set of Recaro GT3 seats with six-point Schroth harnesses and a roll cage make it ready for a late night assault on Hockenheim.
Somewhat disappointingly, the only modifications to the engine are a Super Sprint Magnum cat-back exhaust and an ECU tune which boosts output to 310 horsepower and brings a top speed of 177 mph. However, XTR isn't stopping there -- they're working on a twin-turbocharged version that will reportedly put out around 850 hp when it arrives next spring."

Haha... yeah. Needs whitewalls! 
In all seriousness though. 850bhp on a cayman chassis (ignoring reliability issues, as we cant comment on it yet) is INSANE!

This widebody kit will allow for the proper sized tires to go with the TPC Turbo Cayman. As it is, the TPC turbo Cayman using the OEM body, has too small a tire setup to go with the turbo's larger HP/ torque.
I also have always loved the MSPEED Cayman race car!
And the Alzen Cayman that finished 4th in the 2007 24hr Nurgburgring, the Cayman's very first big race! Immediately after race, Porsche declared it would permanently withdraw any and all support to any independent team that continued to race the Cayman!
