About the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 982
The 982-generation 718 Cayman GT4 marked the return of the naturally aspirated flat-six to Porsche's mid-engine platform, answering the calls of enthusiasts who found the four-cylinder turbo models lacking in character. Unlike its predecessor, it uses a bespoke 4.0-litre engine derived from the 911 Carrera's 9A2EVO family, rather than a GT3 unit. The chassis is a masterclass in balance, borrowing the front axle and brakes from the 911 GT3 to provide surgical precision on both road and track. It remains one of the most celebrated modern driver's cars for its tactile manual shift and linear power delivery.
