2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Review – Mid-Engined Marvel
The skinny: Porsche’s fiercely talented motorsport division has – for the first time – applied its magic hands to Porsche’s Cayman. The result is the gorgeous and grunt-tastic Cayman GT4.
As the first ever ‘mid-engined GT’ car Porsche has produced, it offers the kind of inherent balance that even this legendary company has not produced before.
And because it’s an “enthusiast’s track car” (Porsche’s words) rather than an out-and-out racer like the rear-engined, 911-based GT3, it comes with a good old-fashioned six-speed manual gearbox, which only makes it more fun to drive.
Throw in an aerodynamic package that nails it to the road with 100kg of downforce and you’ve got one hell of a driver’s car.
Vehicle style: Two-door premium mid-engined sports coupe
Price: $189,900 (plus on-roads)
Engine/trans: 283kW/420Nm, 3.8-litre petrol 6cyl, six-speed manual
Fuel Economy claimed: 10.3 l/km
