There is absolutely no doubt that the Porsche Cayman GT4 is the key sports car of the year.

This is the first time that Porsche’s mid-engined platform has been given enough power to prove itself against its big brother, the iconic 911, with the company giving it a 385hp version of the 3.8-litre flat six from a Carrera S and the front end of the latest GT3.

Add the fact that the Porsche Cayman GT4 comes only in six-speed manual guise and you can guess what all the fuss is about. MT reviews it both on the road and track, with Jason Cammisa debuting as the host of the Ignition web series.
