The Car Guide is on its way to Germany this week to get acquainted with the all-new version of the Porsche Cayman GT4, the GT4 Clubsport, in addition to its lightweight counterpart, the GT4 Clubsport MR developed by Manthey Racing. It’s not one, but three unique cars that we’ll be …

Porsche recently introduced a higher-spec version of the GT3, called the GT3 RS, as well as a new high-performance variation of the Cayman, called the GT4. Both of these GT cars are focused primarily on the racetrack, so we were invited to Road Atlanta to sample each one. Unfortunately it …

This week we are driving two alluring new Porsche models near their North American headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia, and they are both designed to appeal to racetrack aficionados. The 2016 Cayman GT4 features race-inspired aerodynamic bodywork, and sits 30 mm lower than the standard Cayman. The mid-engine sports car is …

It’s no secret that Porsche likes to serve up its models in a variety of versions, some of which are much more exclusive than others. This is a milestone year for the Stuttgart-based manufacturer, since it decided to put a hopped-up version of the Cayman, the GT4, on the market.

It was -27 degrees Celsius that morning. We were in the big parking lot of the Estérel Hotel, along the banks of Masson Lake in the Laurentians. The skin on my fingers nearly stuck to the door handle of the three-ton truck that had been parked there since the night …

When Porsche builds a series of models, it does so very carefully. Kind of like building a house. Every time one is fully revamped, the Zuffenhausen brand first introduces the regular model, which acts as the foundation of the structure. Next comes a more powerful S version with extra equipment.

When I got the invitation for the Porsche Camp4 media day at Mécaglisse, I accepted immediately. It’s what any sane automobile journalist would do, especially one that has made performance test drives a sort of speciality, seasoned by a few races and rallies. But then, in a fit of inexplicable …

Porsche is re-branding its mid-engine Boxster and Cayman models as members of the 718 Series beginning next year. The German automaker said the Boxster and Cayman will be renamed the 718 Boxster and 718 Cayman sometime "over the course of 2016." Porsche said the 718 designation pays homage to the …

For now, Porsche’s nomenclature is simple enough: the iconic 911 (and the 918 Spyder) have a numeric name, while the rest of their lineup – Boxster, Cayman, Cayenne, Macan – have more conventional names. This is about to change: for the 2017 model year, the Boxster and Cayman will be …

The name Porsche is legendary in the motorsports world because the manufacturer earned its reputation by accumulating victories. As proof, it won its 17 th title at the 24 Hours of Le Mans and acquired the FIA World Endurance Championship title thanks to the 919 Hybrid. Porsche isn’t selfish when …

The 28 th edition of what is affectionately known as Testfest is under way. This annual event gathers up members of the Automotive Journalists Association of Canada in order to determine the best new vehicles for 2016. This year, the test program will be held at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park …

Every year, innovative products and interesting vehicles converge at the Geneva Motor Show. As always, the Swiss event was full of surprises this year. I’ve narrowed the list down to five just to keep things simple, but there were plenty of others that could have been included. These are five …

Just a few months ago, Porsche unveiled a whole host of GTS models. These more dynamic, high-performance versions were added to the 911, Cayman, Cayenne, Panamera and Boxster families. In Porsche’s hierarchy, models whose name includes the “GT plus a number” moniker represent the summit of sport driving, which is …

After teasing us with a digital reveal of its next mid-engine car, Porsche finally unveiled the Cayman GT4, which has been built to perform on the world’s greatest tracks, while still being road-legal. This new car will take its place as a little brother to the Porsche 911. Fans of …

We are eagerly awaiting the Porsche Cayman GT4, which the manufacturer involuntarily announced last October. This model should sit above the recently-unveiled GTS, both performance and price-wise, and should be a track-focused, barely road-legal car (much like the GT3 variant of its big brother, the 911). The development of this …
