So it's lightweight, at 1320kg including the welded-in safety cage, bucket seat and six-point harness, and it's also 40bhp more powerful than its predecessor. The 3.8-litre flat-six engine produces 425bhp, driving the rear wheels via a six-speed dual-clutch gearbox (we wish it was manual!) and mechanical rear differential lock. The front suspension comes from the 911 GT3 Cup and the brakes use huge 380mm diameter steel discs all round.





In many of Porsche's world markets the Cayman GT4 Clubsport is offered in either “Trackday” or “Competition” spec, the latter for national and international motor racing, but only the Competition edition is offered in the UK. The Competition model has three-stage adjustable shock absorbers, long-range 115-liter safety fuel tank, a brake balance system, integrated air jacks and the same quick-release racing steering wheel as the 911 GT3 R. There's also an automatic fire extinguisher system. It's priced at £130,300 plus VAT in the UK. Just in case you're thinking it would make an awesome, if extreme, street car, we're sad to say it's not homologated for road use. But orders are open, and deliveries begin in February.
