Farnbacher Loles Motorsports will unveil the Cayman GTR at the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring race weekend, March 15-18. The limited edition GTR has been highly anticipated by both the Porsche faithful and the media. At the heart of the GTR is a Porsche 3.8 liter S or X-51 engine in either 375 hp or 405 hp variations. Drawing on Farnbacher Loles extensive racing success, the GTR also features a unique adjustable suspension designed to work in concert with the sizable increase in power. Recently, Porsche representatives said they had no plans to build an official Cayman RS, contrary to the hopes of enthusiasts. See more images of the Cayman GTR after the jump…
From the outside, the GTR is easily identified by the new, aggressive Cup car inspired front end and 19� black center wheels. Farnbacher Loles has also created a proprietary rear spoiler which replaces the stock Cayman unit but still retains the height adjustability. Inside, the GTR displays hand-crafted leather accents to distinguish it from its less powerful siblings.
The GTR can be ordered as a complete vehicle or an existing Cayman can be converted to GTR specs.

Big mistake making the front end look like a Carrera. Neither Cayman owners nor Carrera owners want a Cayman to look like a Carrera.
I’ll just take the motor for my Cayman

Such the stellar car the cayman! So why the 80’s bling? bling? Deserves so much more in the way of styling.

That’s a good design idea, but it probably looked better on paper then it does now. Now it looks like a chopped Cayman S. I can’t help but wonder what the hell is up with Porsche. Why? How could they let this company dissect two beautiful cars, and mold them into one ugly brute. Beats me.

The Cayman S could use a much larger engine as proposed here by Farnbacher Loles – great; but, Porsche and anyone re-building for them needs to dream and fabricate beyond Porsche family resemblances. Car design in general is muted, constrained and controlled by profit. Look at this poor car Farnbacher Loles amassed from Porsche parts: the only name I can think of for it is Franken****ster-911. How about something original…? I know it might not be profitable… but, it’s time!

Agreed! why make it look like a Carrera? But the added power is exactly what this model needs, as is quite openly admitted, power restraints have been put on the engineering of the Cayman S to preserve the 911. looks like its up to RUF to combine both power and looks into the model that will eventually supersede the 911. A good effort with the substantial power increase, just a shame about the styling.
