I had recently come across an article detailing the 2016 Porsche Cayman GT-4.

Check out the pics below... but take note 385 HP out of a 3.8 Flat-6. Basically a detuned 911 with superbly better handling.

Detuned? It's the exact engine out of the Carrera S, isn't it?

And yes, I think it's pure sex. And for an AMAZING price. Within the price range, I think you'd be a fool to get any other model.

I'm sure Nissan can match all the performance numbers but not sure if they will be able to match the precision feel, and composed ride of this GT-4. Keep in mind, this car starts at $85K, no options yet!! A new 2015 GTR with dealer incentive of $10K off is the same price.

Even though the DPK is much faster than the manual transmission, I'm glad that they decided to keep it and make only a manual, i would love to own one of them one day with a manual transmission...plus nowadays its harder to find good sports car with manual transmissions....but i think the main reason for it was strategy..if people do want a porsche "track ready" car but auto will need to get a GT3, guess its a way for them to keep them from "stealing" sells of their 911 line up

They brought a manual only because people were asking for it. The GT3 came out with PDK only and has received a lot of **** for not having a manual box. The lead designer, himself, said that this isn't the car for the people who want the final 1/10s out of their car. This is for people who want to feel their car which is why they spent even more time tuning the steering response and the manual box.

Evo has a pretty good interview on it.

Considering the prices of what mid engine machines are out there - this is the best of the bunch given the price and capability. Seriously why spend more unless you need the badge to make you feel all happy.
I need to make some calls over to Zuffenhausen(20min away) and get my azz a test of this little gem
