Cayman GTR to Debut at Sebring 12 Hour

<td>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.

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. To learn more about the awesome GTR, contact Roger Garbow at Farnbacher Loles Motorsports, 203.798.2929 or Roger@FarnbacherLoles.com.

Response from Roger:


As of right now, the GTR is a high performance street vehicle. I’m sure many of the buyers will also use it for track days, and it will be an awesome track vehicle. If there is enough interest, we may create a full-on track version.

Thanks for your interest. Stay tuned.

Regards,
Roger

Regarding performance of the GTR:


Car and Driver is testing the car after Sebring and Road and Track is also doing a piece on it. So we will have independent performance data.

I spoke with Roger yesterday and they may be coming onboard as a sponsor and will be providing more info. I was also invited to the test day at Sebring for the press but I'm not sure I can be in Florida on that day. Is anyone here interested in being a substitute reporter if I can't go?

If I'm not mistaken they replace the front fenders and front nose with the 997 fenders/lights and then the 997 aerokit nose. In other words the front now looks like a 997 aerokit car. I don't think I'd do this as I actually like the Cayman differentiation, but I'm sure some others will. I'd be more interested in the engine swap, although it is $35K!
