The second-generation Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is expected to be revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in July 2019.

We previously covered the up-and-coming Clubsport version of the Cayman GT4, which had some sharp paint detailing and 425 horsepower.

Now, just a few weeks later, we finally have some more details on the road version of the 718 Cayman GT4, including a potential price.

Second Generation Updates

Arriving for the 2020 model year, the 718 Cayman GT4 will have a 3.8-liter engine that’s naturally-aspirated and puts out 420 horsepower, which is just a few ponies short of the Clubsport model.

With larger air intakes, bigger tailpipes, and stiffer suspension, this car was designed with speed in mind. An upgraded infotainment system is just one of the changes Porsche is making for this coming generation.

The 718 Cayman GT4 will also be launched with a manual transmission only. However, Porsche is expected to release a dual clutch automatic (PDK) option for the vehicle later in 2020, so don’t sweat if you prefer not to shift.

Potential Performance Specs

Although we don’t have the final details on performance specifications for the 718 Cayman GT4, the car is expected to reduce its 0-60 time and increase its top end speed.

Exact numbers? From 0-62 in just 4 seconds, which is down from 4.4 seconds in the previous generation of the 718 Cayman.

In addition, the current model bumps the max speed up to 185 mph from 183. Porsche was able to do this by dropping the car’s weight by over 100 pounds.

No word yet if this model will be using carbon fiber components like its Clubsport version, but stay tuned.

Prices are expected to start at roughly $117,000. Although when you consider that the 718 is scheduled to go all-electric in the coming years, why not enjoy this naturally-aspirated engine while you can?
