2016 Porsche 981 Cayman GT4

On its release in 2015, the Porsche Cayman GT4 sold out twice over Down Under and after just one glance and a short drive it’s easy to understand why.

Porsche call the Cayman GT4 “the super GT with a distinctive mid-engine layout; the hero of weekends; the rebel of the racetrack”.

Borrowing the 911 GT3’s chassis and shoehorning a 3.8-litre 911 Carrera S derived powerplant into its mid-section with a unique induction system and manifolding, different engine mapping and new injectors the Cayman GT4 with its barking exhaust unites famous Porsche GT performance with the superb agility and cornering dynamics of a proven mid-engine concept.

With 283kW it’s far more powerful than the already rapid Cayman GTS (winner of Australia’s Best Driver’s Car motoring.com.au), its Auto Downshift Rev Matching is standard for the 6-speed manual, as is the sports exhaust system, the sound deadening material has been removed from the engine bay to save weight but also enhance the brass orchestra of engine noise coming from behind your head and there's even a smartphone app that comes with the $3,990 Sports Chrono option that can log lap times and other data.

The car offered is an as new 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 ordered in the agressive Agate Grey Metallic on Black leather and Alcantara trim with its original 20” alloy wheels in Satin Black. Having travelled just 1,500 kilometres and chronologically serviced every year by Porsche Centre, this makes for the perfect package a pre-owned Porsche can offer.

A refreshing alternative to the current trend for turbocharged engines and automated transmissions this Cayman GT4 is optioned with:

• 6 Speed Manual Transmission

• Black Bi-Xenon-Headlights with light design pack

• Sport Chromo Package

• Leather & Alcantara Package

• Adaptive sports seats with multi-way adjustment

- Door sill guards in carbon and illuminated

• Heated seats

• Steering wheel and shift lever trim in Alcantara

• Interior accents in Dark brushwork

• Black badging

• Digital radio

Sharply accurate, incredibly fast, and arguably more responsive than its bigger brother, the GT3 and also more stable and confidence-inspiring, the GT4 is absolutely alive and at home on the road and/or track.

The perfect excuse to enjoy an uninterrupted stretch of fresh black carpet draped over a mountain or winding weekend road, this exceptionally well kept and perfectly optioned Cayman GT4 is a must experience.
