Porsche GT4 Test Drive By Walter Rohrl – Video

Rally legend Walter Röhrl in the new Cayman GT4 on the race track in Portugal. With its race-bred suspension, snarling engine, and aggressive aero add-ons, the Cayman GT4 is the track-day toy we always hoped Porsche would build. Lowered by 1.2 inches with dynamic transmission mounts, the 385-hp 3.8-liter flat-six is offered only with an enthusiast-pleasing six-speed manual—no PDK automatic here. The Cayman has always been well-balanced and playful, but the GT4 kicks it up a notch with Porsche’s torque-vectoring system and components pilfered from the 911 GT3 parts bin.
