Porsche Cayman GT4

The Porsche Cayman GT4 (981C) is a track-focused version of the Porsche Cayman (981C).

Overview
Introduced in 2015, the Cayman GT4 is based on the third-generation (981C) Cayman and uses a slightly de-tuned and revised variant of the Porsche 911 Carrera S (991)'s 3.8L flat-6 engine.

The flat-6 engine produces at 7,400 rpm and. The car is rear-wheel-drive and comes with only a six-speed manual transmission, making the GT4 the last street-legal track-focused car to have a naturally aspirated flat-6 engine paired with a six-speed manual transmission, as the 718 Cayman uses a new turbocharged flat-4.

The Porsche Cayman GT4 has a vented front bumper to improve cooling for the additional radiator, with a lower lip along with a fixed rear wing that provides downforce. The GT4 is 1.18 in (30 mm) lower in ride height than the regular Cayman and features upgraded brakes from the Porsche 911 GT3 (991), a limited slip differential combined with Porsche Torque Vectoring, and Porsche Active Suspension Management with 991 GT3-derived dampers. The chassis was also enhanced with a number of reinforcements.

The Cayman GT4 has a top speed of 183 mph (295 km/h) and has gained rave reviews from magazines like Evo and the likes of Chris Harris.

Summary
The Porsche Cayman GT4 was added in the Porsche Update and was the first car released in that update as part of the Porsche Motor Series.

The Cayman GT4 appears as a mid-end Class B car, with a starting rank of 1323 (shared with the Peugeot SR1), a MAX rank of 1485, and a MAX+PRO rank of 1598. +41 is added with a Tuning Kit.

Performance
The Porsche Cayman GT4's performance is based on that of the Peugeot SR1 albeit ranked much lower.

The Cayman GT4, another nitro-focused car, has a unique nitro efficiency combination of 6/8/11. The Cayman GT4 is capable of acceleration from standstill to its maximum total speed of 258.2 mph (415.8 km/h) in 2.8 seconds, thanks to its high nitro stat that is identical to that of the SR1. The Cayman GT4 stands as one of the most nitro-efficient cars in the game, along with the Porsche 959 (6/8/10) and Rinspeed zaZen and Donkervoort D8 GTO (both 4/8/12).

Due to emphasizing its high nitro stat, the Cayman GT4 has a very low top speed; in fact, it is tied with the Porsche 718 Boxster S for having the lowest amount of top speed gained per upgrade, gaining only 6.2 mph (10.0 km/h) with the top speed maxed out. While the Cayman GT4 does have only average handling, it does have above-average drifting capabilities, which can backfire due to the car's low top speed.

Despite what the Cayman GT4's rank suggests, it can only do up to 258.2 mph (415.8 km/h), as previously mentioned. Lower-ranked cars like the Ferrari F40 (260.0 mph/418.7 km/h; rank: 1593), Mitsubishi Eclipse (260.8 mph/419.9 km/h; rank: 1563), and even the McLaren M14A are capable of better performance (including total speed) than the Cayman GT4 for lower prices. In summary, the Cayman GT4 can basically be described as a downgraded, yet more nitro-efficient version of the Peugeot SR1.

Usage
The Porsche Cayman GT4 is not recommended for use in either Events or Multiplayer despite being a heavily nitro-focused car; this is due to the Cayman GT4's inferiority to the likes of the Peugeot SR1, TVR Sagaris, Chevrolet 2016 Camaro SS, and McLaren MP4/8. Even when tuned to B1391 (0005 0303), the Cayman GT4 only does 241 mph (388 km/h), which is slower than the aforementioned Sagaris and Camaro SS. The Cayman GT4's only redeeming qualities are its Car Mastery rewards, which include a Double Credits at Challenge 10, and a fast Season 9 race set in San Diego Harbor, which could be used for Credits-grinding sessions.
