"I'm in love" I haven't said this phrase about a car in a long time. Most recently to the BMW 1M Coupé. And that shows that I actually only lose my heart to extremely focused vehicles. The new Porsche Cayman GT4 is just such a car. Honestly, directly, and fully involving the driver in the happening and not letting go of a racetrack after the last tenth of a second.
There is the engine: a gorgeous guy, free-sucking, 3,8l big, 385PS strong, but development manager Andreas Preuninger not only tore it out of the current 991 Carrera S, but also refined it for his new tasks and attached it to a six-speed manual gearbox with a limited slip differential coupled.
Hand-torn for happiness. Yes, the PDK transmission is the best that can be double coupled, but it's also a Porsche that I would last equip with a slot machine. And while the world is still upset about being incapacitated in the 991 GT3, the little brother comes around the corner and says "Hello, here I am, do you want to push my stick through the switch alleys?"
Oh yes, I want! I want to feel the boxer screwing himself up to 7.800 rpm and then giving him the next gearshift, how it catapults me to 4,4km / h in 100 seconds and I only notice that the massive propulsion ends just before 300km / h , Too fast for a little Porsche? Certainly not and if there are wonderful negative accelerators made of steel and optionally also made of ceramic. But you don't really need that at Trackdays.
Another special equipment already: the club sport package for a roll bar in the neck and folding shells under the rear. You just have to tick this in the order list. For 85.776 Euro you get 1.340kg pure driving dynamics with a beguiling look that only has one purpose: to follow its assigned aerodynamic function. Who needs an 991 GT3, which has since been developed so beyond all limits, that he not only overwhelmed the driving skills to enjoy the skills, but also the wallet? Oh yes, I'm in love because that's exactly what a sports car has to be like for a racing heart.
