Porsche 718 GT4 Clubsport

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport represents pure motorsport. The recipe is well known and proven: lightweight, well-balanced performance. Whether driving it at a track day or in wheel-to-wheel competition, it is in its element.

The Trackday version is ideal for private track events, featuring fixed dampers, air conditioning, a roof-mounted rescue hatch, a handheld fire extinguisher, and an FIA-compliant 80-liter fuel cell.
The Competition models, designed for more intense racing at both national and international levels, come with three-way adjustable dampers and a larger 115-liter fuel cell for extended race durations. These models also include a quick-release steering wheel derived from the 911 GT3 R, an automatic fire suppression system, an integrated air jack for faster pit stops, and a brake-balancing system that allows precise adjustment of the brake bias between the front and rear axles.
Both versions are equipped with a roll cage, a six-point harness, and a Recaro driver’s race seat for optimal safety and performance.
