近日谍照记者在北欧拍到了正在测试的保时捷718CaymanGT4顶级款，该车定位高于最近发布的GTS。而这次记者拍到的车辆几乎没有进行伪装，由此可以判断该车将很快发布，预计在3月的日内瓦车展上就能看到这款车了。这辆GT4与GTS相比差别不大，车头采用了重新设计前保险杠和更大进气口，可以为引擎提供更好的冷却效果。而引擎盖下方，底部保险杠上方宽阔的开口与911 GT3 /GT3RS一样。预计该车将搭载一台4.0升自然进气引擎，虽然功率被调低，但也能超过400马力，预计高于老款GT415马力以上。由于车重进一步降低，因此加速性和灵活性将超过老款车。该车的车尾设计也与GTS不同。最明显变化是增加了固定尾翼和更具侵略性散流器以及两个硕大排气尾管。而尾灯组和前大灯则与GTS一样，或许量产版与GTS会有一些不同。另外，该车的悬挂也将进行重新调校，同时配备专属合金轮圈和升级版制动系统，整体配置比GTS要高很多。

 

Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Spied Completely Naked

Porsche was seen the other day in northern Europe while perfecting what will become the range-topping 718 Cayman version taking the shape of the mighty GT4. Positioned above the recently launched GTS, the new crown jewel of the Cayman family appears to be virtually undisguised, thus hinting that an official reveal is right around the corner. Our money is on the Geneva Motor Show set to open its doors at the beginning of next month.

 

There are quite a few differences between the GTS and the forthcoming GT4, starting at the front where the redesigned bumper hosts enlarged air vents providing better cooling. Right below the hood, on the upper section of the bumper, there’s a wide slat akin to what the 911 GT3 / GT3 RS feature.

 

Speaking of the higher-end GT3 models from the expansive 911 family, the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter gasoline engine is expected to trickle down onto the 718 Cayman GT4. It will allegedly be detuned, but it should stick pack more than 400 horsepower, so expect a bump in output over the previous GT4 of at least 15 hp. Corroborated with a very probable weight loss, the new iteration of the hardcore Cayman is shaping up to be faster and more agile around the corners than its predecessor.

 

Getting back to the prototype at hand, the back of the car is also exhibiting some major changes compared to the GTS. The most obvious novelty is the addition of a fixed rear wing, along with a meaner diffuser featuring two large exhaust tips that no longer sit next to each other as they do on the GTS. While the taillights as well as the headlights appear to be virtually the same as those of the GTS, there could be some changes to further differentiate the two models.

 

We are also expecting to see a re-tuned suspension, bespoke alloy wheels, and upgraded brakes to round off the package and make the GT4 justify what will be a significant premium over the GTS.
