2016 Porsche Cayman GTS
The Car
A 981-generation Cayman GTS built into a dedicated track car. Mid-engine balance, a full safety package, and a brake setup chosen for repeated hard sessions.
Platform
The 981 Cayman GTS is one of the most naturally balanced track platforms Porsche has built. The engine sits in the middle of the car, weight is under 3,000 pounds, and the chassis communicates clearly at the limit. It rewards clean driving instead of masking mistakes with horsepower.
