Porsche Cayman GT4 Spotted!

It’s been less than a month since Porsche introduced the Cayman GTS at the 2014 Beijing Auto Show in China, and these pictures prove the mad-geniuses in Germany are working on yet another, hopped-up version of the Cayman.

It seems the big brass at Porche are no longer worried about the range-topping Cayman surpassing the base-model Carrera, as with less weight, and at least 375hp (we're guessing here), this surely will leave it in the dust. Rumors are suggesting this new Cayman could feature a unique engine, possibly one based on Porsche’s next generation four-cylinder, but again these are only rumors so take it with a grain of salt.

Power will be transferred to the wheels via a transmission based on the PDK box offered in the current 911 GT3, and the new GT4 will feature a stripped out cabin. Sounds rather exciting doesn't it?

Ohh my goodness, that would be awesome! Please, Porsche, build that car!

Mystro 05-13-2014 12:39 PM

That car is sexy as hell. The lines and proportions really work.
This is a huge for me because I am a 911 or nothing guy. I wonder how it will compete with the new Corvette Stingray in the performance dept.

koizu 05-13-2014 12:42 PM

Wow!
Jaw-dropping!

PaulGeudon 05-13-2014 04:45 PM

My letter of intent is already in with my OPC... This should be superb. Press in the UK are saying the Hybrid system would be integral. Would've been sceptical about that 12 months ago, but having been up close to the 918 Hybrid - it'll be a rather exciting proposition.

I know it is stupid saying this BUT IF they build this it needs to have a stick #%^#%!! ;)

LABrit 05-14-2014 03:33 AM

Love!

Mystro 05-14-2014 10:59 AM

Thats not stupid....Thats a request for a real drivers car. I totally agree.

This is exactly what I've been wishing from Porsche. Love it.

pearlcoupeg35 05-15-2014 03:48 PM

185k for a Porsche Turbo that is marginally faster than the older turbos? no thanks.95-105k for a Cayman that SPANKS 911's? Where do i sign??? :)

PaulGeudon 05-15-2014 04:26 PM

Surprised nobody on here has done a render of what it might/could look like.... Anyone?

DJ 05-15-2014 04:28 PM

Paul this is basically it, not to much to imagine ;)!

I am with you Paul. Something with silver wheels and a few cool colors? Maybe smooth out that wing a bit?

I imagine one with center locks, PCCBs, lots of alcantara inside, and an option for a half cage #wishfulthinking

I'm not a huge fan of the Cayman but this version is hot. Looks incredible.

This. I might even choose it over a 991 GT3.

SpeedEvo 05-15-2014 09:52 PM

When will the GTS hit the US dealerships?

Oh my, hello there!

What's the likelihood of a Boxster-equivalent to the new Cayman GT4?

Seeing as both a Cayman R and Boxster Spyder were released last time, I for one think that it's possible. I also remember reading an article from Motor Trend stating that the Cayman GT4 would be joined by the Boxster equivalent called Boxster RS Spyder. Of course, these are all rumors... But perhaps some of you have a bit of inside info to share?

Reason I ask is because my uncle is ready to finalize his order on a Boxster GTS, which would be a bad move if a ≈ 360hp Boxster RS version is to be released within a year or two.

Any info is greatly appreciated!

RickyZone 05-28-2014 02:30 PM

I cannot believe how bad the activity has gotten in this forum... Are you all sleeping under rocks, or has everybody left? :(

Artzt 05-31-2014 09:52 PM

Dear God... :wow2: Cred to Wild-Speed.

Amazing!

SpeedEvo 06-01-2014 04:56 PM

Wow. I certainly prefer it to the GT3, and I think the 991 GT3 is perfect.

Cooch 06-02-2014 01:38 AM

Does GT4 imply 4 wheel drive?? Car looks amazing and those renders are HOT!

I believe GT4 implies the GT4 European racing series. Much like the GT3 was for the GT3 racing series.

Dyna 06-02-2014 06:56 AM

any updates?

Yea. GT3 is 475hp, they won't make a GT4 with 450 and kill the GT3.
My bet is 400hp.

SpeedEvo 07-07-2014 09:04 PM

420 hp would be ideal. Maybe put in a 6sp MT and call it a day. :)

:golfclap: I think that would be perfect! My guess is with koizu though and thinking 400hp. Hopefully I'm wrong though.

Been quiet on the Cayman GT4 front for a while, but Planet-9 appear to have spotted the car (briefly) on the Porsche Driving Experience website: http://www.planet-9.com/news-items/102172-cayman-gt4-confirmed-porsche.html]Cayman GT4 Confirmed by Porsche

Dyna 10-29-2014 05:44 AM

^ Saw that article before. gt3 rs was in it as well! what i am hearing is that it will have some form of electric power around 400 hp and pdk only.. wich is very sad hope i am wrong!

Nacelle 12-13-2014 11:15 AM

This is such a great looking car.... hopefully there's something substantive behind the looks and not just another marketing exercise.
