I was wondering what wheelbase would have to do with it. I would think that something with a centralized mass (mid engined) and a short wheelbase would be great for WRC. Sort of like the 908 was for the Mille Miglia.
I just looked at the WRC Ford Focus, wheelbase 2640, and the Porsche Cayman/Boxster, wheelbase 2415. I'd guess that except for the fact that the Cayman isn't AWD, that it should be great at something like a WRC. And how hard could it be to make an AWD Cayman (for Porsche).
But I suspect it's all about factory support, and it seems that Porsche isn't looking to advertise in WRC (which is what most racing is about when it comes to factory support, isn't it).
