This year, Porsche will show us a new Cayman GT4, the first with the 718" prefix in front of its name. Given the old GT4 has a truly wonderful, turbo-free flat-six engine in it and all the 718s we"ve seen so far, um, don"t there"s been some concerns about what form it"ll take. We might be able to cast our worries aside, though. This is the 718 GT4 Clubsport racecar, a precursor to the road-going version. And it not only has a 3.8-litre flat-six in it, but one with 40bhp more than its predecessor: a potent 420bhp. It comes mated exclusively to a six-speed PDK paddleshift gearbox in this Clubsport, but the road car will no doubt come with a manual when it arrives, given that was such a hallmark of the old GT4.
