Porsche Cayman GT4 uncovered

The all-new Porsche Cayman GT4 has been unveiled ahead of its 2015 Geneva motor show debut and before going on sale in Australia priced from $190,300 plus on-road costs.


The first-ever Cayman GT4 is claimed to be "the benchmark in its class", and the first time Porsche has offered a GT version of its Cayman sports coupe (the GTS is a very different thing).

Powered by a 3.8-litre flat-six engine (borrowed from the 911 Carrera S) with 283kW, it comes teamed exclusively to a six-speed manual transmission. Porsche claims the Cayman GT4 can run the 0-100km/h sprint of 4.4 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 295km/h, and fuel consumption is claimed at 10.3 litres per 100 kilometres.

The German car maker claims the GT4 — which was tuned by the company's motorsport team in Weissach — is capable of a Nurburgring lap time of 7:40.

The beefier looking GT4 features a lower ride height (dropped by 30 millimetres) and larger brakes, while many chassis components have been borrowed from the 911 GT3 road racer.

Further changes to the GT4 include a new bumper and oversized rear wing that the brand says have been "systematically designed for downforce". Options for the GT4 include ceramic brakes, racing shell seats constructed of carbonfibre-reinforced plastic, and a new iteration of the brand's Sport Chrono package with a Track Precision App.

Inside the GT4 are a pair of sports seats trimmed in leather and Alcantara, as well as a sport steering wheel.

"GT sports cars from Porsche embody the most passionate connection possible between everyday driving and the race track and thereby the sporty core of the brand: Intelligent Performance. Four out of five owners of GT Porsche sports cars use their cars on a track," the company said.

The Porsche Cayman GT4 will arrive in showrooms in the third quarter of 2015.
