The GT4 utilises a 3.8-litre flat six, nabbed from the 911 Carrera S, borrowed too from the 911 range, is uprated front suspension and even some downforce. The result is a car beloved by the motoring press and enthusiasts alike, finally, Porsche listened to our cries!
This example is a 2015 Porsche 981 Cayman GT4, supplied new by Porsche Centre Mid-Sussex. It’s finished in A1 Black, it’s a non-metallic shade that suits the aggressive, purposeful nature of the GT4. The original 20” wheels are finished in satin bronze and are wrapped in a set of ultra-sticky Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.
The car benefits from being optioned from the factory with the desirable Clubsport package, Sport Chrono pack and of course, the 918 Spyder bucket seats. The carbon-backed buckets are complemented by the matt-black half roll cage and red racing harnesses. It’s not all racecar, though, there is alcantara and leather and even Porsche’s PCM infotainment system.
Unlike a 911, the engine in a Cayman is in the middle, it’s hear that you’ll find that aforementioned 3.8-litre flat-six. Producing 380 bhp and 310 lb-ft of torque, it can hustle the little Cayman to 60 in just over 4 seconds. Whilst PDK was an option, this car was specified with a 6-speed manual gearbox.
The GT4 is a popular beast, and for good reason, which means you can ensure you find the right car, with the right spec and most importantly, the right history. The service records show:
- 11/2015 – Pre-Delivery Inspection – 10 miles – Porsche Mid-Sussex
- 11/2017 – Intermediate Service – 2,500 miles – Porsche Silverstone
- 11/2019 – Full Service – 9,750 miles – Porsche Nottingham
- 07/2021 – Full Service – 14,000 miles – Anthony Seddon Racing
- 09/2022 – Full Service – 22,000 miles – Tarleton Tyre Services
- 07/2023 – Major Service – 29,300 miles – Porsche Tewkesbury
Additionally, in 2020, the car was fitted with full paint protection film by APM Customs at a cost of over £5,000.
A Cayman GT4, either in 718 or 981 guise like this one, is arguably the best Porsche in the range. It combines the balance, compact size and good looks of the standard Cayman with the raw capability of any of Porsche’s GT range. As at home attacking Snetterton as it is on Sloane Square.
As with all our vehicles, an entire digital folder is available upon request and contains more images, walk-around videos, and scans of the service history. The car can also be viewed by appointment at our West London showroom.
