Porsche Cayman GT4 / GT4 RS 981/718 GT4

HPDE Overview

The GT4 is the Cayman that Porsche finally allowed to compete with the 911. The 981 GT4 used a 3.8L flat-six from the 911, and the 718 GT4 uses the 4.0L naturally aspirated flat-six. The GT4 RS takes it further with the GT3's 493 hp engine in the mid-engine Cayman chassis — many consider it the best-handling car Porsche has ever made. The mid-engine layout of the Cayman gives the GT4 an advantage over the 911 GT3 in tight, technical corners. The car rotates more naturally and requires less trail-braking technique to rotate. The GT4 RS, with its GT3-derived engine, revs to 9,000 RPM and sounds like a full race car. SRO GT4 America provides a professional racing series specifically for GT4-class cars, making the Cayman GT4 the basis for serious professional motorsport as well as enthusiast track driving.
