Porsche is currently developing a new GT4 believed
to be based around the latest 718 Cayman and it should be good.
While it isn’t known if the model will simply act as
a replacement to the previous-gen GT4 or if it’ll push the performance
boundaries further and adopt the GT4 RS nameplate, history tells us that
Porsche almost always lifts the bar and the new hardcore Cayman should be no
different.
Imagining what the 718 Cayman GT4 will look like
isn’t difficult but Laurent Schmidt has rendered the car anyway and it looks
very nice thanks to the combination of the revised front and rear fascias of
the 718 and the aggressive bodywork of the GT4.
Sources inform us that it won’t just be the looks
that distinguish the new model from the old one. There’s a possibility that
Porsche will fit the new model with an engine straight from its GT division,
potentially the naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter of the facelifted 911 GT3, albeit
slightly de-tuned. If that’s the case, over 400 hp will be inevitable and the
model will certainly become one of the most desirable offerings in Porsche’s
range.
