Porsche Cayman GT4 Race Car Replaced By New 911 GT4 Race Car Based On The 911 GT3, Which Won't Be Confusing

Key Points:

• Porsche has introduced the 911 GT4 R, a new customer race car based on the 911, marking the first time a GT4 car is built from the 911 platform instead of the Cayman.
• The car features a 4.0-liter flat-6 engine producing 520 horsepower and 346 lb-ft of torque, revving up to 8,750 rpm, with power delivered through a sequential six-speed dog-type transmission and mechanical limited-slip differential.
• Designed to meet GT4 class requirements, the GT4 R has wider tracks but narrower wheels than the 911 Cup, adjustable suspension settings, and a rear wing with 11 positions, while extensive use of natural-fiber-reinforced plastics helps keep the weight around 3,340 pounds.
• Equipped with a 10.3-inch color display for driver monitoring and adjustments, the 911 GT4 R is priced at $375,500 including delivery and will compete in North American IMSA Michelin Pilot Challenge and SRO Pirelli GT4 America starting in 2027.
• Porsche also teased the upcoming "Cayman GT5," expected to debut soon and serve as a new VW Golf R variant, essentially a Cayman GTS 4.0 in disguise.
