Cayman Clubsport coming?

From Autoblog:

If you salivated at the Porsche Boxster Spyder but longed for something with a fixed roof, the rumor mill has something tantalizing in store for you. According to reports, Porsche is preparing to give a similar treatment to the Cayman.

Tentatively called the Cayman Clubsport, the hardcore coupe is tipped to get a 20-30 horsepower boost over the 300 hp offered from the 3.4-liter flat-six in the existing Cayman S. Couple that with a weight reduction scheme and similar chassis mods as those carried out on the Spyder and you're looking at a mid-engined Porsche with a 0-60 time in the high fours.

A host of visual enhancements are likely to set it apart from the standard model. But at this point we're looking largely at speculation – the second time such rumors have rounded the mill – so don't go canceling your 911 GT3 order just yet.

(The article only had a pic of that orange limited-edition Cayman)

I swear autoblog like to run this story whenever they run out of valid stuff to write about. I'd upgrade in a heartbeat if this were true, but I just cant see Porsche actually doing it.

Well, there is a Boxster Spyder, a hard core Boxster, why not a hard core Cayman? The car would probably have 330hp, a rollbar, and look kind of like he Boxster Spyder.

it will not have a roll bar. No car that is built for the US will come from the factory with a roll bar like the RS clubsport.

I love autoblog but they should at least know how much hp a new cayman has.

Oh ok

Doesn't the GT3 RS have a roll bar though? Or is that a roll cage?
