In the automotive hall of fame there has to be a wing dedicated to the likes of mid-engine supercars. These vehicles tend to be on the exotic side and, if I am honest, in my exploits mid-engine cars always offer up the most thrill.

But that’s by the ?by. What we want to know is whether the Cayman GT4 feels like it’ll leave as big a mark on history as either ?of its running mates. It’s good. But ?it is that good?...
...In 20 years, if the Cayman does make it into the sports car hall of fame, it’ll be that delicate, flattering balance of adjustability and leniency that we’ll remember most fondly, I think. Nothing but a Cayman has struck it sweeter. And yet it doesn’t drive away from this contest having shone the brightest, or having made the greatest impression...
