YET another performance GT car has been announced by Porsche, with the unveiling of the Cayman GT4.
The engine, chassis, brakes and aerodynamic design of the Cayman GT4 are configured for maximum driving dynamics; yet the top model still retains the versatility and everyday utility
The manufacturer claims this is its most performance focused GT model to be based on the mid-engined, two-seat Cayman coupe.
Sharing components and genetic spirit with the iconic 911 GT3, a lap time of 7 min 40 sec around the Nürburgring Nordschleife places the Cayman GT4 emphatically as the new benchmark at the top of its market segment.

The engine, chassis, brakes and aerodynamic design of the Cayman GT4 are configured for maximum driving dynamics; yet the top model still retains the versatility and everyday utility, Porsche claims.
It is powered by a mid-mounted, 3.8-litre flat-six engine with 385hp produced at 7,400 rpm, which is derived from the 911 Carrera S engine. Its power is transmitted by a standard six-speed manual gearbox with dynamic gearbox mounts – there is no PDK transmission option. This translates in to acceleration from zero to 62 mph in 4.4 seconds; top speed is 183 mph. The car’s NEDC fuel consumption is 27.4 mpg, equivalent to 238 g/km CO2.
The body is lowered by 30 mm versus the standard Cayman and features a purposefully-proportioned brake system. Furthermore, the chassis has been comprehensively fine-tuned with many components shared with the 911 GT3.
The Cayman GT4 goes on sale in Porsche Centres in the UK and Ireland today priced from £64,451 and will celebrate its world premiere in March at the Geneva International Motor Show.
