Connecticut-based Porsche race and street specialists Farnbacher Loles have announced that they will unveil
their home-grown Porsche Cayman GTR at the 12 Hours of Sebring race weekend in mid-March.
The Cayman GTR
answers the question a lot of Porsche enthusiasts have been asking since Porsche carefully spec’d the Cayman to slot
into the company’s well-ordered price/performance hierarchy between the Boxster S and the 911 – what would the Cayman
do with a top-line powerplant? Is it a possible 911-killer?
We should know soon. The GTR carries a Porsche
3.8-liter S or X-51 engine, in either 375 hp or 405 hp versions. Farnbacher Loles used their extensive experience with
racing Porsches to upgrade the suspension to provide dynamic performance to match the new power. The car gets Porsche
Cup-style front end bodywork, 19-inch wheels, and a higher-downforce rear spoiler based on the height-adjustable
mechanism of the standard Cayman unit.
