“For those who take fun seriously” That’s part of the introduction by Porsche on the website when they talking about their latest Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 thrill.

Porsche stands bravely behind their all-new Cayman GT4 with such self-proclaimed words as “Perfectly irrational” or who those who seek fun as a serious part of their life, they must look no further. The new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is said not to be for the faint hearted.

"The new 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 armchair."

The 718 Cayman GT4 – Same, same, but offers more!

This German powerhouse has barely pushed away from its distinctive design that we’ve all come so accustomed to over the many years.

Thankfully, because of smart engineering in the early days of this beautiful beast, it needed only to make minor adjustments for ultimate improvements.

A fixed wing with an all-new diffuser has been smacked on this promising road thrill. And this is to ensure the best aerodynamics and optimise for the least air resistance.

"No mild breath of air. No gentle breeze. The signs show a storm is brewing. A glance at the new 718 Cayman GT4 is enough to see: air resistance is not an issue."

Power and Consumption

The 4.0-litre 6-cylinder engine 309kW  inside of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4  has the same fuel consumption and emissions as the new 718 Spyder, 26 miles per gallon. It hits a reasonable top speed of 188 mph and goes from 0-62 mph in under 4.4 seconds.

The Germans have kept most of the outside the same and traditional. However, whats underneath they have taken a deeper look into it and recreated some aspect to improve the “perfectly irrational” drive.

"4.0-litre displacement, the engine generates a mighty 309kW (420PS) – 35PS more than the previous model. The maximum engine speed? 8,000rpm. The maximum torque of 420Nm is from 5,000 to 6,800rpm. Meaning the new 718 Cayman GT4 sprints from 0 to 100km/h in just 4.4 seconds. The maximum speed: above 300km/h. (via: Porsche.com)"
