Indeed it can, briefly. Maybe Porsche needs to have two arms, retro and current.
Believe me, I've thought about sticking the engine from the 911 GT3 into the Cayman. Don't think I don't dream about that. the 911 is their halo car. They can't have the crap beaten out of it by its little brother. But, you do have a point, taken from an engineering standpoint, as Clarkson put it, the Cayman sucks because they held it back. It has so much potential. Imagine a GT2 version? That might equal or destroy the Carrera GT in terms of raw performance. Oh well, if you have the money, I'm sure RUF will gladly do the conversion for you.
I don't see a more retro company than Porsche actually. However, they did kinda break that record by introducing the Cayenne.
i think there is no reason to not develop the cayman alongside the 911... carrera's will always win for practicality anyway, and besides, real men buy rear engined
