2016 Porsche Cayman GT4: Can The Cayman Finally Beat The 911?

Motor Trend Senior Features Editor Jason Cammisa tests the 2016 Cayman GT4 to find out whether Porsche’s mid-engine baby is finally permitted to beat his older brother, the 911.

For the first time in its history, the Cayman gets a 911 engine – and the front suspension from the GT3. With 385 hp and a mandatory manual transmission, the GT4 is a Porsche purist’s dream. Or could the adjustable suspension prove to be difficult to make perfect? Jason Cammisa finds out.
