The Porsche Cayman GT4 is a purist’s sports car, offered exclusively with a 6-speed manual transmission. It marks Porsche’s return to its driver-focused roots, emphasizing raw performance over luxury or practicality. Built on a reinforced Cayman chassis, the GT4 is engineered to handle the increased stress from its upgraded drivetrain, suspension, and aerodynamics. A full-width carbon-reinforced rear wing generates about 220 pounds of downforce at speed.
Power comes from the 911 Carrera S’s 3.8-liter flat-six, producing 385 hp and paired with a limited-slip differential and Porsche Torque Vectoring. The front suspension, steering, and brakes are borrowed from the 911 GT3, featuring massive vented discs with red calipers and 20-inch Satin Black wheels on Bridgestone tires. Bilstein dampers, stiffer springs, and adjustable sway bars sharpen handling, complemented by a lower ride height and strengthened rear suspension.
With its mid-engine layout, the GT4 delivers exceptional balance and precision, making it more predictable through corners than its rear-engined 911 counterparts. It sprints through the quarter mile in 12.3 seconds at 117 mph and reaches a top speed of 183 mph—proving that Porsche’s true spirit of performance remains alive in the Cayman GT4.
In this POV Autobahn run from NoSpeedLimitGermany on YouTube, the GT4 showcases what Porsche purists adore: razor-sharp steering, mechanical grip, and an intoxicating sound that builds with every climb in revs. With no speed limits to hold it back, the GT4 stretches its legs freely across the German highway and manages to achieve 308 km/h (191 mph), proving that even a decade later, it remains one of Porsche’s finest analog machines.
