Granted, Porsche Cayman GT4 is not a hyper car or anything, but we have been waiting so long for this thing, and it was unveiled with so much pomp and circumstance, that seeing one in the wild for the first time is quite an occasion. It also looks a lot cooler in the flesh than it did in the press pictures.
As for what makes the new Porsche Cayman GT4 so awesome, well, it started out as a standard Cayman which we know is a brilliant sports car, one of the best ever made. Then it was upgraded to the performance-focused GTS which makes everything sharper and tauter, and then it turned into the track-ready GT4. If we may liken the Cayman to whisky, the standard is something like Black & White, the GTS is Johnny Blue, and the GT4 is top of the line Macallan!
