JOHOR BARU: Sime Darby Auto Performance (SDAP), the importer of Porsche vehicles in Malaysia, has grown its Cayman family to include the new Cayman GT4 - and its more potent than the Cayman GTS.

With a base price starting from RM840,000 (excluding registration), and includes a four-year warranty, all applicable duties, road tax and insurance.

Possessing components from the Porsche 911 GT3, the Cayman GT4 managed to set a time of seven minutes and 40 seconds on the North Loop of the infamous Nürburgring.

While sitting 30mm lower than standard, the GT4's 3.8-litre flat-six engine, producing 385hp at 7,400rpm and 420Nm of torque at 4,750rpm, is managed by a six-speed manual gearbox to provide a 0-100kph sprint time of 4.4 seconds before reaching a top speed of 295kph.

It gets a 54-litre fuel-tank and on the combined cycle, the GT4's consumption has been rated at 10.3 litres per 100km.

The rear-wheel drive GT4 weighs in at 1,415kg (kerb) while its wheelbase has been set to 2,484mm and comes in measuring 4,438-long, 1,817mm-wide and 1,266mm-tall.

It also possesses plenty of aero-tuned parts that include a front splitter, side blades, a rear diffuser and a large fixed rear wing. And even with all that, its drag coefficient has been measured at 0.32Cd.

The GT4 rolls on 20-inch wheels with 245/35 (front) and 295/30 (rear) series tyres, which partially hides its 380mm (front and rear) discs that are abused by a set of six-piston (front) and four-piston (rear) aluminium callipers as standard.

Additional options include the Porsche Carbon Ceramic Brake (PCCB) system, a custom Sport Chrono Package, a Track Precision app and a Club Sport Package.

The a sports exhaust system will undoubtedly fill the combination of leather and Alcantara within the cabin and as an added option carbon full-shell carbon reinforced plastic seats are also available.

“The Cayman GT4 is the most powerful model in the Cayman model range and features motor sports-orientated technology that allows it to offer exceptionally high levels of performance potential and emotional driving pleasure,” said of SDAP chief executive officer Arnt Bayer.
