Porsche is reported to be planning to homologate the new Cayman GT4 for no fewer than 4 different series in 2016 and there was a Cayman class in GT4 a couple of years ago. Does anyone know if one of the major manufacturers plans to produce a Cayman GT4 in the near future? I know that Graham White (British Slot Bodies) makes a very nice resin body, but I was wondering about an injection molded plastic body/chassis.

I haven't seen anything about slot car manufacturers coming out with a Cayman GT4 yet, but it's a very new model and would be a very good choice. I'll bet that, depending upon the circuit chosen, the 1:1 version will be quicker than any of the 911 variants.

Hmmmmm.....interested in Caymans......wonder why? There's a Shoreline team member who would have a keen interest in this too.

It just seems that a car that looks like this should find its way into the production plans of one of the major manufacturers:



Or, even better, the Caymans that ran the Rolex 24 GX class at Daytona a couple of years ago:

Somehow, looking at those pics that I put up yesterday; particularly the first one, the name "Carrera" comes to mind............................maybe they're listening................... Hey Dave, any plans..................?

Allan

Yes I would buy the 1st one only if it's a inline setup

What Audi1 said "Hey Dave K"

One more........just in case anyone is getting interested in looking into producing one of these cars...................

I'm hoping Scaleauto will do one in 1/32 and if it went as good as their BMW Z4 it'd be a keeper.

Scaleauto would be a good idea, but I'm still thinking Carrera, since the IMSA Continental Tire Challenge is sort of like a US version of the DTM class in Europe; with both the GS and the ST divisions. Although, on the other hand, Scalextric has a lot of the GS class cars covered now, so a car like the ST Cayman GT4 could fit there, too. Or Ninco, or................(?) ;)

And here's another livery; this one in the GS class of the Continental Tire Challenge............

Beautiful cars. In future times I believe people would look back at these and identify them as a classic.

Maybe Carrera will build a 1/43 scale one

Until then I have these.

Those Caymans are really good looking, BARC-1.

There's also a resin body from BSB that's available in 1/32 scale:

But, I really wish that one of the major manufacturers would pick up this car; I think it would make a great racer.

Agreed. It be nice to see a RTR slot car
