Perfectly Irrational.
Rational. Irrational. Sanity. Insanity. Perfectly. Imperfection. The difference is sometimes extremely subtle. And sometimes it's as sharp as a razor blade.
The 718 Cayman GT4 is the perfect sports car for those who like to push the limits. For those who would rather ask "why not?" than "why?". For those who take fun seriously and who would rather sit in a sports seat than a leather arm chair.

718 Cayman GT4

When the wind doesn't just blow, but howls.
No mild breath of air. No gentle breeze. The signs show a storm is brewing. One look at the 718 Cayman GT4 is enough to see: air resistance is futile.
Porsche - Clearly defined: the front apron.
Clearly defined: the front apron.
The highly distinctive front spoiler lip ensures aerodynamic drive on the front axle with additional spoilers in front of the wheel arches. The central air intake in the front apron also optimises the aerodynamics and channels the air stream up through the air outlet in front of the bonnet. Even the underside of the front spoiler lip has been aerodynamically optimised. Here, the special profiling – similar to a golf ball surface – ensures drag is as low as possible.
Porsche - Side air intakes.
Side air intakes.
The side air intakes behind the doors are another example of performance-oriented design: the sideblades, with embossed 'GT4' logo, create additional dynamic pressure. The result: a better supply of air and more efficient cooling of the engine.
Porsche - Wing with integrated sideblades.
Wing with integrated sideblades.
Unmistakably from the race track: the fixed wing, formed as one part, with integrated sideblades and supports made of aluminium. It ensures downforce on the rear axle and high traction to match.
Porsche - Rear apron with diffuser.
Rear apron with diffuser.
No optical frills, just super car technology: the diffuser between the two black tailpipes of the Sports exhaust system. It ensures a very fast airflow on the underbody and therefore a stronger vacuum. The result: 40% more downforce on the rear axle than the previous model.

718 Cayman GT4

Six-cylinder, 4.0-litre displacement, naturally aspirated engine.
Horizontally opposed engine, naturally aspirated, positioned centrally. 4.0-litre displacement. Six cylinders. 309kW (420PS). Sounds crazy. It is. The engine generates a hefty 309kW (420PS) from the 4.0-litre displacement. The maximum engine speed? 8,000rpm. The maximum torque of 420Nm in conjunction with the manual transmission is available from 5,000rpm to 6,800rpm.
Porsche - From 0 to 100 in 3.9 seconds.
From 0 to 100 in 3.9 seconds.
With Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), the maximum torque of 430Nm is available at 5,500rpm. With PDK and activated Launch Control, the 718 Cayman GT4 sprints to 100km/h in just 3.9 seconds. The maximum speed: over 300km/h.
Porsche - Integrated dry-sump lubrication and adaptive cylinder control.
Integrated dry-sump lubrication and adaptive cylinder control.
The six-cylinder horizontally opposed engine has direct fuel injection (DFI), integrated dry-sump lubrication and an adaptive cylinder control. In addition, a variable intake manifold with switchable resonance valves provides the engine with optimum ventilation. It sounds technical and a bit dry, but it's really the exact opposite.
Porsche - It speaks for itself: the sound of the 718 Cayman GT4.
It speaks for itself: the sound of the 718 Cayman GT4.
For an even more powerful sports car sound at the touch of a button: the precise sports exhaust system with its two clearly separated black tailpipes to the left and right of the rear diffuser.
Porsche - Transmission.Porsche - Transmission.Porsche - Transmission.

Transmission.

6-speed manual transmission.

The precise 6-speed manual transmission is fitted with a dual-mass flywheel and its optimally tuned gear ratios bring the high power output of the engine directly to the road. It also ensures a particularly sporty driving experience. Tight curve ahead, shift down, long straight, shift up: it's in your hands – in the truest sense of the word. This is performance which is not only measured in power values, but also in all quantities of driving pleasure. And the dynamic throttle-blip function plays its part too in keeping you, and your endorphin levels, busy.

Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK).

For the 718 Cayman GT4, the optionally available PDK is even more performance focused. The GT-specific gear selector, short shift times and succinct gear changes on the gearshift paddles, as well as a sporty seventh gear offer optimum performance – even on the race track. Manual operation of the gear selector is based on the established motorsport principle – pull back to shift up, forwards to shift down.

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) including a rear differential lock.

In short: PTV improves the driving dynamics. In detail: The integrated mechanical rear differential lock enables higher traction and lateral dynamics as well as significantly improved vehicle stability during load changes in corners and when changing lane. In addition, when the car is driven assertively into a corner, brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater amount of drive torque is distributed to the outside rear wheel, almost pulling the car into the corner. Steering response is improved, agility is increased.

Chassis systems.

GT sports suspension.

The lightweight spring-strut axle at the front is typical of a GT, the lightweight spring-strut axle at the rear is adjusted to the high performance of the 718 Cayman GT4 with additional reinforcements and helper springs as well as specific wheel mounts. Ball joints enable even more precise wheel control. The height, camber, toe angle and anti-roll bars can be individually adjusted for the race track.

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM -30 mm).

This electronic adjustment of the shock absorber system actively and continuously adjusts the damping force on each wheel, based on current road conditions and driving style. PASM has two settings: 'Normal', which is a blend of performance and comfort, and 'Sport' where the set-up is much firmer.

Dynamic transmission mounts.

This electronically regulated system minimises perceptible oscillations and the vibration of the entire drivetrain, in particular the engine. It also adjusts the damping force and stiffness to the driving style and road surface conditions. The results are greater and more uniform drive force, increased traction and faster acceleration.

Porsche Stability Management (PSM).

PSM is an automatic control system for maintaining stability at the limits of dynamic driving performance. In addition to the anti-lock braking system (ABS), it includes Electronic Stability Control (ESC) and Traction Control (TC). Alongside the performance tuning with extremely sensitive and accurate regular systems interventions, the systems can be switched off completely in two stages.

Brakes.

The 718 Cayman GT4 shows maximum performance, not only just sprinting from 0 to 62 or more, but also when slowing back down to 0. This is ensured by six-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front, four-piston aluminium monobloc fixed brake calipers at the rear, calipers in red, for greater inherent stability and faster response when applying and releasing the brake, even under extreme loads. The composite brake discs at the front and the rear have a diameter of 380mm and are cross-drilled and internally vented – powerful braking even in adverse weather conditions.

Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB).

Proven in motorsport: the optionally available Porsche Ceramic Composite Brake (PCCB). With particularly large brake disc diameters, 410mm at the front and 390mm at the rear, they offer even greater braking power and constant braking pressure. The main benefit of the ceramic braking system is its extremely low weight. The brake discs are approximately 50% lighter than cast-iron discs of a similar design and size. The brake callipers are in yellow as standard and also available in black (high-gloss).

In addition to the regular maintenance as part of the standard maintenance intervals, additional maintenance must be carried out for racing use.

718 Cayman GT4

Porsche - Look good. Feel good. Firm, performance purity: the interior.
Look good. Feel good. Firm, performance purity: the interior.
The interior of the 718 Cayman GT4 is designed for performance ergonomics. Short distances, direct information, high functionality. Reduced to the essentials – and an irrational amount of driving pleasure. The details and materials are also derived directly from motorsport. The Sports seats Plus with elevated side bolsters offer fixed stability. The Race-Tex trim provides a firm grip.
Porsche - The centre of attention instrument cluster and GT sports steering wheel.
The centre of attention instrument cluster and GT sports steering wheel.
Typical 718: the instrument cluster with three round instruments and central rev counter. Typical GT: the yellow needles. And the GT-specific sports steering wheel finished with Race-Tex, with top centre marking and black spokes. The centre of the titanium-coloured rev counter features the 'GT4' logo.
Porsche - Motorsport character in the interior.
Motorsport character in the interior.
Decorative stitching, 'GT4' logo on the headrests and door pull loops are finished in silver colour. The door pull loops are derived directly from motorsport and emphasise the performance character of the GT4 as do the trim strips in brushed aluminium.
A Race-Tex interior with extended leather features is also available. These also come with the option of decorative stitching and door pull loops in the contrasting colour red or yellow. The seatbelts can also be in matching colours if desired.
Porsche - Clubsport package.
Clubsport package.
The Clubsport package provides additional protection on the race track with its components derived directly from motorsport. It comprises a steel roll cage with paint finish in black, bolted to the bodywork behind the front seats, and a six-point racing harness supplied ready to install for the driver including shoulder belt designed for use with or without HANS® safety system (Head And Neck Support). The package also includes a fire extinguisher with bracket.

In the 718 Cayman GT4, the Sports seats Plus, with their firm padding and elevated side bolsters, offer optimum stability. The backrest can be adjusted electronically and the seat height and fore/aft position can be adjusted mechanically. The seat centre is finished in Race-Tex, the 'GT4' logo is embroidered on the headrests.

The adaptive Sports seats Plus have an electric 18-way-adjustment that can be used to comfortably adjust the seat height, squab and backrest angle, seat depth, fore/aft adjustment and four-way lumbar support. The seat centre is finished in Race-Tex, the 'GT4' logo is embroidered on the headrests.

The full bucket seats are made of carbon-fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP) with carbon-weave finish. This provides especially good lateral support at minimal weight. The fore/aft adjustment is manual, the height adjustment is electric. The seat centre is finished in Race-Tex, the 'GT4' logo is embroidered on the headrests.

¹Child seats are not compatible with full bucket seats.

Porsche - Chrono Package including preparation for lap trigger.
Chrono Package including preparation for lap trigger.
In addition to the analogue and digital stopwatch on the dashboard, the optional Chrono Package boasts even greater functionality: Porsche Communication Management (PCM) has an enhanced performance display to show, store and evaluate measured lap times. The driver can use it to find out about the time and distance travelled for the current lap as well as the number of laps completed so far and the times achieved in each case. It is also possible to view the current fastest lap and range until empty. Any travelled distances can be recorded and benchmark times defined.
Porsche Communication Management (PCM) and Apple CarPlay.

PCM is your central control centre for audio and communication. It has mobile phone preparation, audio interfaces and a high-resolution 7-inch touchscreen display which can be used to control many of the vehicle functions. In addition, multiple Car Connect Services, such as vehicle positioning via smartphone, are available to you. Apple CarPlay allows you to connect your iPhone to your Porsche and control individual apps via the central display of PCM and the voice recognition technology Siri. You can also do without the audio and communication system if you would prefer. When the way there is your destination you don't need a navigation system.

Navigation.

Thanks to Real-time Traffic Information you’ll always be on the fastest route. As a component of the navigation and infotainment services, online navigation has the advantage of accessing map material which is updated daily, while at the same time taking into account all the relevant traffic reports in real time. Route planning via Porsche Communication Management (PCM), however, does not require a data connection and is available at all times.

Once a dream. Now our mission.
We've been in motorsport since the very first second. Not because we have to be. But because we simply can't imagine it any other way. Time and time again, we scrutinise every idea, every technology and every detail on the test bench. Indeed, motorsport is where ideas emerge that will continue to be developed, tested and trialled under the toughest conditions until they are not only fit for victory, but also fit for the road.
Porsche - 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.
The recipe is tried and tested. A truly unforgettable driving experience. Why? Because every individual pore of the new 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport stands for pure motorsport. It is equally at home at track days and sprint races, as it is on long-distance journeys.
