The least surprising car launch in history will come next month as Porsche Motorsport are set to unveil a race version of the critically acclaimed Cayman GT4.
Dubbed the Cayman GT4 Clubsport, and complying with FIA GT4 regulations, the 385 hp (283 kW) mid-engine racer will celebrate its world premiere on November 18 at the Los Angeles Auto Show.
Like its production sibling, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport is powered by a 3.8-liter flat-six engine. The racing version features a Porsche double clutch transmission with shift paddles on the steering wheel and a mechanical rear-axle locking differential. The lightweight suspension strut front axle system is taken from its big 911 GT3 Cup brother, which is campaigned in Porsche’s 20 one-make championships around the world. The impressive racing brake system is fitted with steel brake discs all round measuring 380-millimeters in diameter. Tipping the scales at just 2866 lbs. (1,300 kilograms), the Cayman GT4 Clubsport, delivered from the factory with a welded-in safety cage, a racing bucket seat as well as a six-point harness, is truly lightweight.
