Porsche 981 Cayman GT4 (Black / Manual / Track-Focused)
Pacific Luxe Rentals – Santa Monica, CA
The 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 is one of the most celebrated driver’s cars Porsche has ever built — a purist-spec machine created for people who truly love to drive. This isn’t a regular Cayman. This is the GT division at its finest: motorsport DNA, naturally aspirated power, and a 6-speed manual that rewards precision.
This particular GT4 is black on black, beautifully spec’d, and equipped with the legendary 3.8L flat-six derived from the 911 Carrera S. It screams to 7,800 RPM, delivers 385 horsepower, and has the razor-sharp handling that made the GT4 an instant modern icon.
Unlike the newer turbocharged models, the 981 GT4 is raw, mechanical, and analog — the type of car driving enthusiasts dream about. The steering is communicative, the gearing is perfect, and the chassis balance is so good it feels like an extension of your body.
What makes this GT4 special:
✨ Highlights
• 6-speed manual (rev-happy and incredibly engaging)
• Engine sourced from the 911 Carrera S
• Iconic GT Porsche handling + mid-engine balance
• Perfect for coastal drives, canyon runs, or special occasions
• Rare spec, enthusiast-owned, and freshly serviced
• One of the highest-performing Porsches under $200K
If you’re looking for a car that turns every mile into a moment — a car that makes you feel in the zone — the GT4 delivers every time. Whether you’re experiencing the Malibu canyons, cruising PCH at sunset, or arriving at an event in something truly special, this GT4 is guaranteed to elevate your day.
This isn’t just a rental — it’s an experience.
Welcome to Pacific Luxe Rentals.
Engine
It has the 3.8-liter engine from a 911, but in a smaller, lighter mid-engine car. Naturally aspirated, almost 8,000 RPM, and tuned by Porsche’s GT team. It’s one of the best-sounding and best-feeling engines Porsche ever put in a Cayman.
Wheels and tires
The GT4 runs on lightweight 20-inch GT wheels — super rigid, motorsport-inspired, and designed to handle high-speed cornering.
Brakes
The GT4 has big GT-spec brakes — huge rotors and multi-piston calipers designed for track driving. They bite hard, stay consistent, and give you crazy confidence.”
