Porsche Cayman tagged posts

Porsche has not sold any car that has 4-cylinder engine for a long time in the US, however this will be overthrown next year, when the 2017 model year of the Boxster and Cayman hit the market.

According to Matthias Mueller, CEO of Porsche AG, the German sports car maker is going to put at least one turbocharged flat-4 engine in the mid-cycle-updated 2017 Boxster and Cayman.

The most possible choice of the 4-cylinder engine will be the 2.0L unit which is currently used on the Macan CUV, delivering 233hp and 258 lb-ft of torque.

We will provide updates when more information is available.

Meet the Porsche Cayman GT4

Inspired by the story of Frankenstein, Porsche created the GT4 variant of the Cayman.

The Cayman GT4 borrows the 3.8L flat-6 engine from the 911 Carrera S, detuned to 385hp (the 911 S has 400hp). From the outside, especially the front fascia, wheels, and also the fixed rear wing, all reminds me of the 911 GT3.

For those who do not want to shift by himself and prefer the PDK automatic transmission, then the Cayman GT4 is not a suitable choice, because only a 6-speed manual transmission is offered on this car.

Porsche claims the Cayman GT4 can run the Nürburgring Nordschleife in 7:40, at least 10 seconds slower than the current 911 GT3...
