Notes
The Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 is a roadster produced by the renowned German sportscar manufacturer in its Zuffenhausen and Osnabruck assembly plants, on a composition made by the British automobile designer Tony Hatter back in 2015. The Cayman GT4 is a track-ready, high-performance Porsche 981 primed for speed with a lower ride height providing a superior aerodynamic profile. Its fantastic 7:40 lap time at the Nürburgring Nordschleife and its breathtaking 183 mph (295 km/h) top speed are some of the impressive statistics that show motorists we're talking of a racecar you can use every day.
The Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 features a 3.8 Flat 6-cylinder engine coupled with a 6-speed manual transmission offering total control over the acceleration of the machine. It is the fastest sprinter among all the Porsche 981 versions, needing only 4.2 seconds to go from 0 to 60 mph. The car comes with 245/35R20 tires in front and 295/30R20 in the back over 20-inch forged rims. The engine cooling system features an additional radiator needing a wider vent at the front bumper that gives the car a fierce look. With a price tag of 73,000, the 2016 Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 is the entryway for motor enthusiasts feeling the itch for a high-performance sporting car.
