Drivers’ cars are evocative machines. They elicit a concoction of feelings that often involve some level of nerve mixed with euphoria. A car like the Porsche Cayman GT4 is clearly a driver’s tool, and many should rightfully look forward to experience what it’s like behind the wheel of Porsche’s baby GT.
The new Cayman GT4 is by all accounts a modern sportscar (the engine has cylinder deactivation tech!), but its subdued GT styling and fetching looks perfectly disguise the monstrosity that rests under the rear hatch – a high-revving, naturally aspirated 4.0 litre flat-six engine.
It makes 420 PS at 7,600 rpm and 420 Nm of torque at 5,000 to 6,800 rpm, and the needle will happily climb to 8,000 revolutions per minute. In an era where hot hatches like the Mercedes-AMG A 45 make more power, you’d be forgiven if you thought the GT4’s output was underwhelming. But the Porsche is a rear-wheel drive track monster that weighs just 1,420 kg, and it ships with a six-speed manual transmission as standard.
Suffice to say, anyone looking to wield a car of this caliber should approach with caution. It’s a car that demands your respect, and only drivers who are adequately skilled can truly explore its limits. Check out our brief driving impressions of the Cayman GT4 in the video above.

In terms of design, I prefer 3.5 V6 Lotus Evora.
doesn’t look like a 900k car, more like a sub-500k. i’d shop for a ferrari or lambo if i have 1mil to dispose. bradn prestige matters.
It is sub-500K in other countries. Idk why Malaysia so expensive? Maybe taxes or Porsche increase their margin?
Its never sub 500K for a GT4 in other countries. In fact, most of our neighbouring countries is either more expensive or similar to what we paid.. You are talking about GT4, not a peasant spec 718 Cayman.
Furthermore, this is not the car for those who wants Ferrari or Lambo because they dont know how to drive. This car is meant for Porsche hardcore driving fans..
U wont coz u cant afford. This car isnt built for ppl like you. It is for skillful driver who wants Porsche crisp handling on road and track.
AMG A45 doesn’t seem track ready
1555kg, it’s quite a joke for a track race.
More for bragging rights at the club.
However, In before bawa chick tapi vomiting before reaching the room due to excessively stiff ride to counter it’s high body roll A200 Ride..
