The light beam pattern actually adjusts from side to side depending on speed and steering wheel movement to light up round a corner increasing your line of sight at night.

“So the GTS is really rather fantastic. Of course it is. That it looks a little more special than the standard S simply adds a final layer of desirability. Indeed, the appearance and the range topping status, wrapping up all those tasty options in one model, will probably be enough for most. The GTS upgrades are so finely selected and offer sufficient ‘want one’ factor that the premium can be justified; it makes a stunning sports car that little more magnificent.”
PistonHeads, 2014

Background
The Porsche 981 is the internal designation given to the third-generation Porsche Cayman models built by Porsche, released in summer 2012. The 981 reflects the new design language from the 918 Spyder and 991 series 911, and features new and revised engine and transmission specifications. Together with a new body, the type 981 features a new chassis; 40 per cent more torsionally rigid, the front track is 40mm wider, the rear 18mm wider and the wheelbase extended by 60mm, but with a small weight reduction of 30kg. The 981 Cayman is the last to feature a boxer six-cylinder engine. The engine does away with the Intermediate Shaft, which proved to be a weak link in pre-2009 Cayman engines. The Cayman GTS was introduced in March 2014, it featured a more powerful engine, a new front and rear body kit, new Black Edition PDLS+ Bi-Xenon headlights, and a new sports exhaust system. The Cayman GTS is longer than the Cayman S by 30.5 mm due to its unique front and rear sculpted bumpers. 

Exterior
Our hand selected Cayman GTS looks stunning in its gloss coat of Guards Red, which has been machine polished by us and protected with Auto Finesse Soul Carnauba Wax. The striking 20-inch Turbo III lightweight alloy wheels with Diamond Cut Finish with Gloss Black Insides. The GTS door insignia, gloss black Headlight Washers, window surrounds, mirror bases, front lower GTS spoiler, enlarged front vents, side vents and rear splitter also look fantastic against the Guards Red paintwork. All the trim has a perfect finish, as do the Black Edition PDLS+ Bi-xenon Headlights and Dark Glass LED rear lights. The windows drop as they should when you open the door. The engine and boot struts also operate as they should.

Interior
The Cayman GTS comes with black leather and Alcantara with Grey Stitching Hardback Sports Seats Plus that have 3-stage seat heating, Grey GTS Embroidered Headrest Insignia and electric seat backs. The extended black leather and Alcantara with Grey Stitching dashboard, centre console, armrest, doors and seats are in excellent condition and provide a perfect contrast to the Guards Red bodywork. There are no marks or signs of wear to any of the trim parts, panels or switchgear, with the leather and Alcantara retaining a wholly fresh appearance throughout, we have cleaned the entire interior with a specialist Alcantara approved product. The sleek aesthetic is topped-off with features like the Black Leather Trim, Guards Red Seat Belts, Black Instrument Dials, Alcantara Sport Design Steering Wheel and Alcantara PDK Selector.

Engine and Transmission
Our Cayman GTS is equipped with the 3.4 litre DFI flat six engine. The Cayman GTS engine produces 340bhp and 280ft-lb of torque. The axle load distribution of approximately 45:55 ensures high directional stability and superb road behaviour. The engine starts cleanly when cold or hot, there is no smoke whatsoever either at startup or when driving. There are no unusual sounds or rattles when the engine is running. The 7-speed double-clutch PDK transmission system provides instant changes, unleashing the power of the engine with minimal fuss.

This Cayman GTS is also equipped with PASM switchable sports suspension system, which includes the dashboard switch that stiffens the suspension in an instant, increasing connection to the road. PASM equipped cars also sit 10mm lower than non PASM cars at all times.

The Cayman GTS is fitted with Sport Chrono Package Plus, which adds a SPORT and SPORT PLUS button that sharpen the throttle response, decreases shift speeds, hold gears for longer and blips the throttle on downshifts whilst also adding a dashboard mounted stopwatch to add to the sporting image of the GTS.

Our GTS is equipped with the highly desired Porsche Switchable Sports Exhaust PSE system, which unleashes a more sporty sound both on acceleration and lift off. With SPORT or SPORT PLUS mode enabled, the sound increases further, with pops and crackles when you lift off the throttle.

This Cayman GTS is also equipped with the Sound Symposer System, which allows additional sound from the engine to enter the cabin, via an active pipe which opens and closes depending on what mode you have the car in, Normal, SPORT or SPORT PLUS, to add an extra dimension of sportiness to the drive.

This Cayman GTS has the PADM dynamic engine/transmission mounts, which electronically control the oscillations and vibrations of the entire drivetrain, especially the engine. By adapting stiffness and damping characteristics to changes in driving style and road surface conditions, the dynamic gearbox mounts combine the benefits that otherwise distinguish hard and soft gearbox mounting arrangements. For the driver, the results are tangible. Handling is perceptibly more stable under load-change conditions and in fast corners. Whenever a less assertive driving style is adopted, the dynamic gearbox mounts automatically soften to enhance comfort. You experience the best of the best worlds—uncompromisingly sporty performance in corners, yet with a high degree of comfort. The Sport or Sport Plus button enables you to switch the dynamic gearbox mounts from Normal to Sport or Performance mode.

Wheels, Tyres and Brakes
Our Cayman GTS comes fitted with the 20-inch Turbo III lightweight alloy wheels with Diamond Cut Finish with Gloss Black Insides, which are unmarked, free of kerbing damage and corrosion. The brakes are phenomenal, cross drilled and vented discs front and rear. The tyres are matching Porsche N1-rated Pirelli P-Zero high performance tyres, which are as new having all been recently replaced.
