We didn't think Porsche ever to build this car. Cayman's engine with 911 money base-911: $ 85,595. Many have heralded this as genocide. But here's why I won't kill Grand Cayman 911: GT4s will be not many, only manual GT4, sell 911s because they 911s.

3.8-litre flat tone is six-out S Carrera along, just inches behind us. In GT4, it makes 385 horsepower, and is shy to do in S Carrera, but 45 more than the Cayman and more than 35 GTS 911 base 15 horses. Below 5000 rpm and the engine moaning buzzing; revolves around the red line 7600 rpm and pulse turns the drum conga 10,000 jam-o-Rama. Large 90 DBA puts six full share.

But power and performance are just two elements of kinship GT4 911. Complete front suspension is lifted from the 911 GT3. On the new asphalt, we can detect some its appeal. In skidbad, GT4 drives more reliable than the Cayman GTS boldly neutral and has slightly less grip, even on the Michelin pilot sport Cup 2 (g page 1.01 compared to 1.04). But the eagerness of GT4 steering feel and structure impregnated with goodness GT3. Quickly, it's almost as if the wheel is fully electric. You are flooded with information about surface, the tires, the available grip. Didn't ruin Porsche ride here, either.
