side profile looks a bit lacking... rear arches are too big and what's the deal with that extended side scoop? Not a fan of that. Rest looks great, no doubt!

[dazren]

Some details.

That rear spoiler is horrific....

[CheesyFootballs]

Can't believe buckets are a cost option.

And the side scoops - like the wheels and ducktail though.

STOOPID fabric door pulls!

Better in blue, I think?

'Its power is transmitted by a standard six-speed manual gearbox with dynamic gearbox mounts - there is no PDK transmission option.'

This is a very interesting development, or maybe thats an anti-development!

This is a very bold statement isnt it? They could have easily given a PDK option and charged for it!

I am not sure exactly what their strategy is, but bravo!

It needs a stripe!

I'm not sure...it's probably better than I was pessimistically assuming. Think I'm in if I get the option.

[Sarnie]

First cars to be delivered in March?!?!?

Sooo glad I cancelled my GTS order at £70k that was due in May, dodged taking a complete bath there!!!

[EricE]

Buckets are the 918 seats though.

Co2 emission is terrible compared to the regular 991 Carrera which leads me to believe there's something special going on in the engine department. Would really screw me over tax-wise. (243g/km for GT4 vs 223g/km for 991S)

[PorscheGT4]

I like the steering wheel ...

not sure what to say bar it's not very bespoke imo, in fact the R was more bespoke.

Buckets a cost option !!!!

[Nimerino]

This is confusing to me; 10 years of wanting Porsche to release a Cayman with a 911 engine, a proper LSD and Motorsport addenda, and the moment it does so, cue the disappointment? Is it the GT4 labelling that rankles in the face of expectation?

For what it's worth, I think this thing is stunning. A Cayman has been an object of desire that I've never quite been able to get myself to want to pay for, but I'd have this in a heart beat; over any current 911, GT3 included.

[m33ufo]

Standard car...65k, PCCB 5k, buckets 2k

£72K and hope there's a decent standard colour

Is the CS pack a cost option or a freebie?

[EricE]

To quote Andreas Preuninger at 3:56 in the EVO video: "I envy everyone who was able to get one"

Not sure if this is serious or wilfully obtuse. Let's count the ways:

A stiffened bodyshell, new suspension, an entirely different engine, a custom body kit, new aerodynamics, recalibrated steering, a new steering wheel and the option of new seats.

How on earth is the Cayman R more bespoke?

it had a stripe!!!

[EricE]

GT3 front axle, completely new rear axle, 410mm front PCCBs, 380mm front steel brakes... same as 991 GT3

GT3 PASM dampers, GT3 steering

fk me, this is the real deal.

Same weight as GTS, 1340kg DIN 1415kg EG

7800 rpm redline, no dry sump, cup tyres, mechanical 27/27 lsd

its not limited but "they wont make 5000, 6000, 7000 cars"

N/A engines will stay around "for a longer while"

Ah, forgive me. I forgot about the stripe on the car and the mrdemon in it, making the R the greatest car ever.
