Just when you thought the Porsche Cayman couldn\u2019t get any better after the addition of the GTS model, Porsche, never one to rest on its laurels, has upped the ante one again.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"P15_0063_a4_rgb<\/a><\/p>\n

The new top-spec Cayman is called the GT4, and if those first two letters after \u201cPorsche\u201d in the model name look familiar to you, well, that\u2019s what Porsche was going for.<\/p>\n

The GT4\u2019s brake system is lifted directly from the GT3 supercar (and can be upgraded with carbon-ceramic rotors), and for the first time, a Cayman gets the most powerful of Porsche\u2019s naturally-aspirated engines: a 3.8-litre unit shared with the 911 Carrera S, good for 385 hp\u2014the Cayman GTS\u2019 340 hp looks a little tame, now, doesn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n

Those wings and air inlets you see? All functional, and developed specifically with aerodynamics in mind, which is another allusion to the GT3. Incidentally, all of this helps the Cayman GT4 achieve a better lap time around the daunting N\u00fcrburgring Nordschleife race track in Germany than did the previous-generation GT3. That\u2019s some pretty special stuff, and it once again shows the Cayman is really coming of age in the Porsche world; no longer does it have to play second-fiddle to the 911 flagship models.<\/p>\n

Plus, it just looks so fantastic. Since they don\u2019t\u2019 have to stuff the flat-6 engine behind the rear axle, the rear end is decidedly less lumpen than that of a 911. At the same time, however, the Cayman GT4 manages to hide the fact that it\u2019s mid-engined as well, looking more like a front-engined GT car. Fantastic.<\/p>\n

Inside, the GT4 gets a new sport steering wheel and fixed bucket seats for the driver and front passenger; don\u2019t be surprised if these are the carbon-fibre items that Euro-spec Cayman GTS models got, and North American ones didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n

The Cayman GT4 will be available soon, starting at $96,500.<\/p>\n
