The Porsche Cayman GT4 quickly made a name for itself after its debut earlier this year for its classic approach to performance, with a manual transmission as its only available gearbox. The new track-only Cayman Clubsport breaks this manual-only rule, and sends its power to the rear wheels through a dual-clutch transmission linked to a mechanical locking rear differential.
Inside, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport comes with a welded-in safety cage, racing bucket seats, and a six-point racing harness, similar to the Clubsport package already offered for the street-going GT4.
Porsche plans to homologate the car for a slew of race series, including the Continental Tire Sports Car Challenge, the Pirelli GT3 Cup Trophy, the Ultra 94 GT3 Cup Challenge Canada, and the Pirelli World Challenge, among others.
Unfortunately, the GT4 Clubsport is a beast left tethered to the track only, as it will not be road legal in the U.S. or Europe. Because of this, orders for the Clubsport must be placed with Porsche Motorsport in Weissach, Germany, or Porsche Motorsport North America.
Look for more details on the new Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport as it makes its official debut later this year at the Los Angeles auto show.
