PORSCHE CAYMAN GT4, black, 1:43

ABOUT PORSCHE CAYMAN GT$

The Cayman is a mid-engine two-seater sports car manufactured and marketed by German automobile manufacturer Porsche across four generations—aa a three-door, two-seater fastback coupé.

Rational. Irrational. Sanity. Insanity. Perfectly. Imperfection. The difference is sometimes extremely subtle. And sometimes it's as sharp as a razor blade.

The 718 Cayman GT4 is the perfect sports car for those who like to push the limits. For those who would rather ask "why not?" than "why?". For those who take fun seriously and who would rather sit in a sports seat than a leather arm chair.

First launched in 2005 for the 2006 model year, the Cayman is a coupé derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster, styled in its first iteration by Pinky Lai. All Caymans were manufactured in Finland by Valmet Automotive. As Volkswagen assumed control of Porsche AG, production of Caymans and Boxsters after 2012 began in the former Karmann plant in Osnabrück, Germany, at the time owned by Volkswagen and also used for production of the 2012 Golf (Mk6) convertible.

The car is not named after the Cayman Islands. Both the car and the islands are named after the caiman, a member of the alligator family. When the Cayman arrived at dealerships for sale, the automaker adopted four caimans at Stuttgart's Wilhelma Zoo.

• PROsport Performance campaigned multiple Cayman PRO4s (previously called Cayman SP) in the GT4 European Series, winning the Driver's and Teams' championship titles in 2016. PROsport Performance also won the C (GT4) class at the 2017 Liqui Moly Bathurst 12 Hour. The final evolution of the PROsport Performance Cayman PRO4 GT4 is based on the 981 Cayman S, equipped with a PDK transmission, added 981 Cayman GT4 side air scoops, and spliced with the front end of the 991 Porsche GT3 Cup chassis. The car produced approximately 380 hp with a 3.4 L engine. This car competed as another Porsche with the 981 Cayman GT4 Clubsport in the GT4 class of various motorsports competitions.
