DRIVEN + VIDEO: The Porsche Cayman GT4, Probably The PUREST Porsche Being Made Today

You know, it's funny. For a handful of years now one of the most commonly asked questions when comparing the Porsche Cayman to the Porsche 911 is "Has the Cayman finally surpassed the 911?"

The short answer? Yes.

I've already made this known since I drove the second-gen Cayman S and named it my number one pick for the Top 007 of 2013.

While other publications are still asking the same stupid question, to me anything beyond the current-gen Cayman S is just a bonus. It's the cherry on top, essentially. And now we have the Cayman GT4. Oh, boy!

Since I haven't gotten behind the wheel I will have to live vicariously through XCAR who recently had the chance to make the GT4 dance. Check out what our British friends had to say about one of the latest — and greatest — Porsches.


With the Cayman GT4 Porsche have finally delivered the Cayman we always wanted. Is it better than a 911?

Still not gonna kill the golden goose. They built so few of these GT4s to make sure that there is no threat to the 911. When I tried to trade my Cayman GTS on a GT4, I found it impossible. I could get a 2016 Boxster spyder (which also has the 991S engine, but not the GT3 suspension pieces) as well as GT3 and 991 GTS. And, with no PDK (not that I would want it) the GT4 cannot achieve maximum potential on various tracks, again protecting the 911.
