No radio, no a/c, no frills.
In their place: power galore,
razor-sharp handling and a
hunger for the racing track.
The Cayman GT4 encapsu-
lates the essence of the
Porsche GT family: perfor-
mance, lightweight construc-
tion and emotion.
Flat, wide, low-slung, boiled down to the
very essence of its characteristics. The
new Cayman GT4 stands apart, like
the product of a long evolution where all
superuous elements have been cleared
away and the strengths have been empha-
sized. It is the rst GT sports car in the
two-seater mid-engine series and the rst
Cayman bearing the components of its
larger role model, the 911 GT3.
The Cayman GT4 bears its association
with the GT family openly. It crouches
30 millimetres closer to the ground, with
three striking air intakes on the nose
and the large, xed spoiler dierentiating
it from the rest of the Cayman series.
Everything you’d need for racing is there.
Beyond this, there’s nothing on it without
a good reason. “Naturally, you can always
look at a vehicle for its performance. But
there’s nothing cosmetic here. Every part
of this car has a function,” says Andreas
Preuninger, Director GT product line in
Weissach. His hands trace the topography
of a chassis that’s been shaped on the
track, but his words portray an image of
innovation and engineering.
RACETRACK-READY AERODYNAMICS
The small, black grilled slits on the front
mask: underpressure draws heated air
upward here after the large openings
below have guided it through the central
cooling unit. The side blades on the anks:
they allow air to ow in high volumes into
the intake tract for the mid-engine. The
large spoiler on the rear, adjustable based
on the driving conditions: inherited from
motorsports, generating optimal down-
force in combination with the diuser.
LESS IS
MORE
The Porsche Cayman GT4 is a pure
sports car. Making it perfect for the
racetrack.
