celebrating its world premiere at the 2015 edition of the geneva international motor show, porsche announced the newest member to its GT family: the cayman GT4. featuring components of it’s bigger brother – the 911 GT3 – the two-door sports car gets is power from a 385 horsepower 3.8-liter flat-six engine derived from the 911 carrera S. zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) takes just 4.2 seconds, and reaches a top track speed of 285 km/h (183 mph) thanks to a six-speed manual transmission with dynamic gearbox mounts. the chassis, which features a 30 mm lower ride height and a generously sized brake system, consists almost entirely of components from the 911 GT3.

technical aspects of this new GT sports car are based on the porsche 911 GT3

the exterior of the cayman GT4 highlights provides a clear distinction to related mid-engine coupes. three pronounced inlet openings at the front and a large fixed rear wing are part of an aerodynamic package which is systematically designed for high downforce. as an option, performance capabilities of cayman GT4 can be taken even further; a porsche ceramic composite brake (PCCB) system, full bucket seats made of carbon fiber composite, and a custom sport chrono package featuring a track precision app can be added as a package for a fully defined racing experience. 

the cayman GT4 follows the technical tradition of such cars as the 904 GTS, 911 GT1, carrera GT and 918 spyder

the interior of the cayman GT4 focuses on maximizing the experience of unfiltered driving enjoyment for both driver and passenger. standard sport seats, which are upholstered in a combination of leather and alcantara, offer enhanced lateral support while on the track. the model-specific sport steering wheel also guarantees ideal control and direct steering feedback due to its compact dimensions.
