Yesterday we heard that Porsche were working on the Porsche Cayman GT4, and now it would appear that we have some photos of this new Cayman, although it is rumored to launch as the Porsche Cayman R and not the GT4 as we heard previously.
The guys over at Autocar managed to snap some photos of the test model of the new Porsche Cayman R near the Nurburgring, and as you can see from the photos it features some new styling over the standard model.
Enhanced Design and Aerodynamics
The Porsche Cayman R comes with a more aggressive look than the standard Cayman, there is a large rear spoiler similar to the one on the 911 GT3. This spoiler is not just for show; it plays a crucial role in enhancing the car’s aerodynamics, providing better downforce and stability at high speeds. The front bumper has also been redesigned to include larger air intakes, which help in cooling the engine more efficiently. The side skirts and rear diffuser further contribute to the car’s aerodynamic profile, making it a formidable machine on both the track and the road.
Performance and Engine Specifications
This new faster Cayman will apparently use a 3.8 litre flat six engine, the same engine that Porsche uses in their 911S, although it will be tuned to produce less than the 400 HP that the 911 S has. The engine is expected to deliver around 375 HP, which is still a significant upgrade over the standard Cayman. This power boost will likely result in a 0-60 mph time of around 4 seconds, making it one of the quickest cars in its class.
The Cayman R will also feature a sport-tuned suspension system, which will include stiffer springs and dampers, as well as a lower ride height. This setup will provide better handling and cornering capabilities, making it a joy to drive on winding roads and racetracks alike. Additionally, the car will come with larger brakes to handle the increased power and provide better stopping performance.
As yet there are no details on when the new Porsche Cayman R will be released, as soon as we get some more information, we will let you guys know. However, it is speculated that the car could make its debut at one of the major auto shows later this year, possibly at the Frankfurt Motor Show or the Los Angeles Auto Show.
The Porsche Cayman R promises to be an exciting addition to the Cayman lineup, offering enhanced performance, improved aerodynamics, and a more aggressive design. With its powerful engine and sport-tuned suspension, it is sure to appeal to driving enthusiasts who crave a thrilling driving experience. Stay tuned for more updates on this highly anticipated model.
