This is a tough decision for Porsche. When you have almost a dozen variant of the 911 model lineup it will be difficult to promote a Cayman in its place to represent the brand. BMW has taken several steps and steered away from their racing icon a few years ago to be competitive. They started using the Z4 over the M3 a few years ago and now the M6.
I think for short term they should develop the Cayman to take its place, produce a limited production to meet the requirement. This will also boost the Cayman into more racing series.
