Porsche has dolled up the 718 Cayman GT4 for its
home market with the launch of the new Sports Cup Edition. Presented over the weekend at the
Hockenheimring as a celebration of the Porsche Sports Cup finale and the
opening of the brand’s new Experience Center, the special edition is offered
for a limited period starting October 14.
The things that make this 718 Cayman GT4 special are
the Black and White exterior colors, along with the red highlights that underline
the motorsport-inspired design. The car boasts the number 15 on the sides,
reminiscent of the 15th anniversary of Porsche’s Sports Cup Germany, black
20-inch wheels with red flange and black brake calipers.
A selection of fine materials and colors further
enhance the looks of the cockpit. Porsche has added black leather and Alcantara
upholstery with decorative stitching, red seatbelts and door opener loops, a
red 12 o’clock marking on the steering wheel, black brushed titanium elements,
‘718 Cayman GT4 Sports Cup Edition’ door entry guards, a ‘Porsche 15 Jahre
Sports Cup Deutschland’ logo embossed in the center console armrest and unique
floor mats.
Powering the special edition is the same 4.0-liter
naturally aspirated flat-six as the regular GT4. It puts out 420 PS and 420 Nm of torque and is paired to a six-speed manual
transmission, enabling the top 718 Cayman to sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds and max out at 304 km/h.
