Maverick Marktpreis: Cayman GT4 (981)
by Peter Wen, Region Merchandise Chair
In 2007 Porsche introduced the Cayman, much
to driving enthusiasts’ delight. Essentially a hardtop
Boxster, the Cayman was a true driver’s car. With the
rigidity of its chassis and the ideal engine placement, the
car handled brilliantly. By the time the 2nd gen Cayman
(981) was launched, it was so good, it legitimately
challenged the flagship 911. Then in 2016, Porsche
did the unthinkable. It gifted the Cayman with Gran
Turismo (GT) treatment and a powerful 911 S engine.
The Cayman GT4 was born.
All Porsche GT cars are special. These street legal race
cars have a loyal following. The one-year only, limited
production GT4 is no exception. Since its introduction,
the GT4 routinely sells at a premium above MSRP. With
the then 991.1 GT3 only available in PDK, and the
991.2 911 going all turbo, people speculated the GT4
may be one of the last Porsche models with a proper
6-speed manual and a naturally aspirated engine.
Today, these concerns have largely subsided. Porsche
once again offers GT3 with manual transmissions. The
next gen, 718 Cayman, GT4 is still powered by flat-six
naturally aspirated engines. As the result, the 981-gen
GT4 price has retracted to a more reasonable level. If
you dream of owning a 911-powered, mid-engine,
2-seat sports car, the timing maybe right to check out a
981 GT4.
