PORSCHE CAYMAN GT4 ANNOUNCED
The GT4 is the most anticipated Porsche sports car in many years. It is powered by the 991-derived 385 hp 3.8-liter flat six in a mid-engine position and mated to only one transmission option: a manual. Serious stuff. It lapped the Nürburgring as fast as a 997 GT3 model.
This Cayman will screams to 7,400 rpm and do 0-62 in 4.4 seconds with a top speed of 183 MPH. Its debut is slated for Geneva, and it’s set to arrive at dealers this July starting at $84,600.

“Living in a time of the increasing struggle of the mechanization of man, photography has become another example of this paradoxical problem of how to humanize, how to overcome a machine on which we are thoroughly dependent… the camera…†– Ernst Haas
“The camera doesn’t make a bit of difference. All of them can record what you are seeing. But, you have to SEE.†– Ernst Haas
