Porsche Cayman 981 GT4 2016 (16)




The Porsche Cayman 981 GT4, introduced in 2015, is a high-performance variant of the Porsche Cayman. It features a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine sourced from the 911 Carrera S, producing 385 horsepower. This power allows the GT4 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in about 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of around 183 mph.


The 981 GT4 is renowned for its exceptional handling, precise steering, and engaging driving experience, thanks to its lightweight construction, stiffened suspension, and larger brakes compared to the standard Cayman models. It also boasts the iconic, aggressive styling elements typical of Porsche's GT models, including a rear spoiler, wider wheel arches, and unique front and rear bumper designs.


This model was produced in limited numbers, adding to its exclusivity and appeal among sports car enthusiasts. The Cayman 981 GT4 offers an exceptional balance between track-ready performance and road-going practicality, making it a highly regarded option for driving purists.




The GT4's exterior is a striking blend of aggressive styling and aerodynamic efficiency, designed to enhance both performance and aesthetics. It features a wider body compared to standard Cayman models, with flared wheel arches that accommodate larger wheels and tyres, improving grip and stability. The front is characterised by a prominent spoiler, which reduces lift, and larger air intakes that channel airflow to the engine and cooling systems. The rear of the GT4 is dominated by a large fixed wing, further enhancing downforce and ensuring greater stability at high speeds.


Distinctive LED headlights, an iconic Porsche design, give the GT4 a sharp, focused appearance. The lower ride height, coupled with a sportier suspension setup, gives the car a more aggressive stance and helps it remain planted on both the road and track.


Under the bonnet, the Cayman 981 GT4 boasts a 3.8-litre naturally aspirated flat-six engine, sourced from the 911 Carrera S, producing 385 horsepower and 420 Nm of torque. This power allows the GT4 to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 4.2 seconds, with a top speed of 183 mph. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a six-speed manual transmission.


The GT4’s performance is further refined by a performance-oriented suspension system, larger brakes, and an active exhaust system, delivering not only blistering acceleration but exceptional handling, precision steering, and a raw, visceral driving experience that is a hallmark of Porsche's motorsport heritage.


One of the most notable features is the pair of lightweight bucket seats, finished in a combination of leather and Alcantara. These seats offer exceptional support during spirited driving, ensuring the driver remains securely in place while cornering at high speeds. The Alcantara upholstery is a common material in Porsche's performance models, known for its grip and durability. The emphasis remains on reducing weight without compromising comfort.


The steering wheel is a three-spoke design, wrapped in Alcantara, which enhances grip and provides a tactile feel for the driver. It is also adjustable, allowing for precise steering control. In front of the driver is a central, analogue tachometer, flanked by two smaller digital displays for speed and other driving metrics—showcasing Porsche's commitment to a driver-focused layout.


The centre console is minimalistic, keeping controls straightforward and free from distractions. The focus is on the driving experience, with a small, easy-to-reach gear lever for the six-speed manual transmission. Climate and audio controls are simple but high quality, while the infotainment system provides essential navigation and media functionality.


Throughout the cabin, the materials are top-notch, with a blend of carbon fibre, aluminium, and leather accents. While it is certainly a performance-driven interior, it does not lack the premium feel expected from a Porsche, making the GT4 both a track-ready and road-worthy environment.
