Cayman GT4 confirmed!

[exar333]

I'd love it, finally a Cayman with balls, but no manual, no sale.

Same here. This would be my next car otherwise.

Looks like I will have to go the used GT3 route instead. 🙂

It's on the Porsche configurator, it's only available with the manual.

judging, it's what the poor do best.

I know, it was struggle for me to write that check for the Cayman - I actually had to transfer money into my checking account - a true baller would have had cash.

PS - most of the rich guys I know wouldn't give an M5 a second glance.

I know a lot of rich guys, especially Porsche owners. Many have / had M5s as a primary car and several (or even just one) Porsche as their fun car. The M5 is a great car. But they wouldn't choose it over a Cayman. And if they only had enough money for one, it's really an odd decision. One is a 5 seater 4 door comfy luxury car, the other is a 2 door 2 seater sports car.

It's only available in manual, as has been covered multiple times in this thread. I'm looking forward to pictures of your new Cayman GT4! What color are you getting?

One of the guys I used to work for had an E39 M5 as his primary car and an older 911 Turbo as the secondary. He also raced his track prepped Porsches on the weekend. /envious.

i have a 991 Carrera S and I have to say the GT4 is kind of temping, I do miss the toss ability of my old boxster

 

[996GT2]

The Cayman GT4 put down a 7:40 Nurburgring lap time, which puts it in the same range as the 997 Turbo S or GT3.

I would rather it had the PDK. I would also be much more interested if they powered the front wheels.

Then it wouldn't be a GT car. GT1, GT2, GT3 have all been RWD only.

Have to admit... I'm jealous of those getting one of these!
