The 981 generation was first out and it is exactly such an example that we have here. The classic white exterior meets lightweight rims shod in Michelin rubber. The rim itself is a design that draws inspiration from classic Fuchs rims. The exterior design may be based around the 981 chassis but is far different from the base car. The front has been given a more aggressive appearance which helps with cooling and aerodynamics. This has also received dive-planes in the edges to help with air steering. Further back, a more aggressive air intake behind the door with a discreet GT4 emblem. But it is at the rear that the car differs most noticeably.
A fixed wing and a deeper diffuser cement the look of the GT4 as a really badass little bulldog.
The interior follows Porsche’s ethos when it comes to GT cars. shell chairs in carbon fiber, half cage and a rather stripped down environment. Here’s what you need to drive fast. Between the seats, what can perhaps be seen as the car’s highlight. The manual gear selector. A dual-clutch box may be a few seconds faster, but in this class and with these power figures, nothing beats the mechanical feeling of shifting yourself. The gearbox, in turn, is connected to a 3.8L six that leaves 385hp and of course only to the rear axle.
Porsche’s GT4 platform remains one of the absolute most fun-to-drive cars in the brand’s history. This example is sold in Sweden and refined by Porsche’s own race team, Manthey-Racing, with a wheel suspension that enhances the driving experience thanks to the possibility of more aggressive camber settings.
