2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Specs - +Autocar Technologhy  With its race-reared suspension, growling motor, and forceful air additional items, the Cayman GT4 is the track-day toy we generally trusted Porsche would assemble. Brought down by 1.2 inches with element transmission mounts, the 385-hp 3.8-liter level six is offered just with an aficionado satisfying six-speed manual no PDK programmed here. The Cayman has dependably been very much adjusted and perky, yet the GT4 kicks it up a score with Porsche's torque-vectoring framework and segments appropriated from the 911 GT3 parts receptacle.

Southern California's Angeles Forest Highway over the San Gabriel Mountains is perfectly smooth. What's more, however development groups have been conveying this stretch of street to an end for quite a long time, they're practically done. Get out there before 7:30 a.m. what's more, you'll appreciate a continuous stretch of crisp dark floor covering hung over a mountain. Arrive later and you'll have an agonizing hold up through a few restricted development zones. We rose mid one late morning to take the Porsche Cayman GT4 on this course to our desert test office.

We didn't think Porsche would ever assemble this auto. It's a Cayman with the 911's motor for base-911 cash: $85,595. Numerous have proclaimed this as fratricide. Be that as it may, here's the reason the Grand Cayman won't slaughter the 911: Not numerous GT4s will be made, the GT4 is manual just, and 911s offer in light of the fact that they are 911s.

The 3.8-liter level six out of the Carrera S is murmuring along, unimportant inches behind us. In the GT4 Specs, it makes 385 torque, which is 15 steeds short of what it does in the Carrera S, however 45 more than the Cayman GTS and 35 more than the base 911. Underneath 5000 rpm, the motor cries and hums; turn toward the 7600-rpm redline and the beating transforms into a 10,000 conga-drum jam-o-rama. The six puts out a major 90 decibels at full whack. Try not to stress, however; it's a charming sound, never irritating.

Up on the mountain, we're not at the redline all the time. To begin with and second riggings are amazingly tall second is useful for about 80 mph. That outfitting takes a touch of around-town zoom out of the GT4. We meas­ured a zero-to-60 time of 4.1 seconds, indistinguishable to a manual Cayman GTS we'd beforehand tried. Past 60, however, the GT4 pulls far from the GTS. By 110 mph, it's a second ahead. In the quarter-mile, the GT4 posts 12.3 seconds at 117 mph. For connection, realize that a PDK-prepared Carrera S experiences the quarter in 12.4 seconds at 116 mph with the Cayman GTS touching base in 12.5 seconds at 113 mph.

Yet, power and execution are only two components of the GT4's 911 connection. The whole front suspension is lifted from the 911 GT3. On the new black-top, we can identify some understeer. On the skidpad, the 2016 Cayman GT4 pushes more dependably than the strongly nonpartisan Cayman GTS and has somewhat less grasp, even on Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires (1.01 g's versus 1.04). Yet, the GT4's frame willingness and guiding feel are mixed with GT3 goodness. At pace, it's practically as though the electric force guiding is totally unassisted. You're overwhelmed with data about the surface, the tires, and the accessible grasp. Porsche didn't destroy the ride here, either. If you avoid the game setting on the PASM dampers, you'll encounter a firm, however mate neighborly, ride.

A couple of unobtrusive changes reinforce the backside and take into consideration camber alterations, yet the greatest contrast between the GT4's rump and that of lesser Caymans is found in the 911-sized back tires. The increment in front-tire width is not as extraordinary as that of the back elastic and may be one motivation behind why the Porsche Cayman GT4 understeers more than the Cayman GTS.

Be that as it may, the Cayman GT4 Spec sputs forth a more grounded design expression than different Caymans. Another nose houses expanding cooling pipes, the backside has a little diffuser and a major wing.

You sit low in the GT4, particularly with the discretionary ($4730) single-piece seats from the 918 Spyder; they make an elegant section or leave outlandish. Between the seats is a radiant six-speed manual, fitted with Porsche's short shifter that makes snapping off absurdly fast gearchanges simple. Hit the game catch and the motor naturally blips the throttle to match revs on downshifts. It's difficult to get out from under the propensity for heel-toe downshifting, yet the PC makes rev coordinating simple.

Except for getting in and out of its seats, the GT4 makes everything simple. It's the first Cayman that is a magnificent distinct option for a base 911. +Porsche  - 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Specs
