2007 Porsche Cayman '3.8 Swap'

Offering considerably more power thanks to a 3.8L flat-6 borrowed from a 997 911 S, this 987 Cayman is the GT4 that Porsche hadn't dreamt up yet. The engine benefits from an IPD intake and plenum, a GT3 throttle body, and an ECU tune to unlock more power and give it a greater sense of urgency. Not just about power numbers, this example is wearing some GT3 suspension bits and adjustable Bilstein coilovers to make it a well-rounded performer. All in, we think this is heck of a lot of fun for the money and we would love to give it a go.
