Sime Darby Auto Performance has just pulled the wraps off the hottest Cayman variant in their lineup, the Porsche Cayman GT4 Clubsport.

Power is derived from the same 3.8-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six that’s found in the road-going GT4, which produces 385 hp and 420 Nm, mated to a modified six-speed Porsche PDK that drives the rear wheels via a mechanical locking differential.

Bits and pieces of suspension and drivetrain parts are adapted from other Porsche models, like the lightweight strut front axle from the 911 GT3 Cup and a lightweight strut suspension with transverse arms also from the 911 GT3. Braking is courtesy of large 380 mm steel disc brakes all round with one-piece, six-piston aluminium fixed calipers up front and four-piston units at the rear. Porsche further added that the ESP has been retuned for racing slick tires. Speaking of tyres, Michelin is the supplier of the 25/64-18 slicks up front and 27/68-18 at the rear.

Biggest change is the interior, in which the Cayman GT4 Clubsport boasts a stripped down interior, roll cage, a racing bucket seat with six point harness fitted from the factory. On top of that, a 100-litre FIA FT3 safety fuel tank and a fire extinguisher comes as part of the package. Despite the addition of the roll cage, the Cayman GT4 Clubsport tips the scale at just 1,300 kg.
