This is the first time Porsche has introduced a GT model based on the mid-engined, two-seat Cayman coupe and shares components with the iconic 911 GT3 to help it lap the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7min 40sec to make it the new benchmark in 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 that are typical of a Porsche.
This translates to a 0-100kph sprint time of 4.4sec, before reaching a top speed of 295kph, but is still able to remain relatively frugal with an average fuel consumption of 8.6L/100km with emissions rated at 238g/km of CO2.
Versus the standard Cayman, the GT4 sits 30mm lower and features an upgraded brake system with much of the chassis components being shared with the 911 GT3.
The new GT4 is clearly differentiated from its brothers in the Cayman range with three distinctive inlet openings in the nose and a large fixed rear wing are part of an aerodynamic package which is systematically designed to not only reduce lift but also generate downforce.

Upon request, the Cayman GT4 can be further equipped with Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB), shell-backed seats made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP), a custom Sport Chrono Package with the unique Track Precision app and a Club Sport Package.
