The Car Guide is on its way to Germany this week to get acquainted with the all-new version of the Porsche Cayman GT4, the GT4 Clubsport, in addition to its lightweight counterpart, the GT4 Clubsport MR developed by Manthey Racing. It’s not one, but three unique cars that we’ll be …

Porsche recently introduced a higher-spec version of the GT3, called the GT3 RS, as well as a new high-performance variation of the Cayman, called the GT4. Both of these GT cars are focused primarily on the racetrack, so we were invited to Road Atlanta to sample each one. Unfortunately it …
