Porsche Cayman GTR by Farnbacher Loles Motorsport

Porsche Cayman GTR

Farnbacher Loles Motorsports unveiled its exclusive tuning for Porsche Cayman, limited to only 20 units. GTR features carbon fiber mirrors, a height-adjustable rear spoiler, a 997 aero-kit front end, carbon fiber splitter and a Euro-spec rear bumper set the GTR apart from the rest of the Caymans in the valet lot. Farnbacher Loles is happy to do a straight, sleeper-type Cayman engine swap for those with more subtle tastes. But the GTR is a complete car, engineered and tuned as a complete package.

Powered by a Porsche 3.8 liter X-51 engine and featuring a lowered suspension, aero body modifications, custom exhaust, and wider wheels and tires, the car drew crowds everywhere it went during the Sebring race weekend.

Revo engine management software is dyno tuned to enhance driveability. Output is a claimed 380 bhp-for now. A Stage II tuning package is in the works to throw that figure well over the 400 bhp fence. An exact number could not be confirmed, but insiders did admit to a ’healthy’ increase over current power specs.

A Sachs Sport clutch and a specially developed 60/40 clutch-type limited-slip differential feed power to the ground through massive 285/30-19 Yokahama ADVAN Sport rear tires. Front tires are 245/35-19, all four rolling on forged Fiske wheels. A retuned suspension has been developed with Cross Engineering. This includes increased spring rates, heavier anti-roll bars and Cross 15-way adjustable coilover shocks. Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) mate the car’s stopping power with that of its go.
