Purpose-Built Performance

Powered by a naturally aspirated 3.8‑liter flat‑six and paired exclusively with a six‑speed manual, the 981‑generation Cayman GT4 distills Porsche’s motorsport DNA into a compact, mid‑engine package. PASM sport suspension, Porsche Torque Vectoring, and a mechanical limited‑slip differential help deliver the GT4’s renowned balance and feedback.

Chassis & Details

Finished in Sapphire Blue over black leather, this example presents with enthusiast‑focused options consistent with the GT4’s character. Aerodynamic elements and chassis tuning reflect learnings from GT‑division 911s of the era, while the analog powertrain and control layout emphasize engagement over outright automation.

Interior & Controls

Inside, the driver‑centric cockpit features supportive seats, a clean analog gauge cluster, and the hallmark short‑throw manual shifter. Subdued materials and focused ergonomics suit the GT4’s brief as a road car that rewards precision on back roads and at the track.
