Connecticut-based Porsche race and street specialists Farnbacher Loles have announced that they will unveil their home-grown Porsche Cayman GTR at the 12 Hours of Sebring race weekend in mid-March.
The Cayman GTR answers the question a lot of Porsche enthusiasts have been asking since Porsche carefully spec'd the Cayman to slot into the company's well-ordered price/performance hierarchy between the Boxster S and the 911 - what would the Cayman do with a top-line powerplant? Is it a possible 911-killer?
We should know soon. The GTR carries a Porsche 3.8-liter S or X-51 engine, in either 375 hp or 405 hp versions. Farnbacher Loles used their extensive experience with racing Porsches to upgrade the suspension to provide dynamic performance to match the new power. The car gets Porsche Cup-style front end bodywork, 19-inch wheels, and a higher-downforce rear spoiler based on the height-adjustable mechanism of the standard Cayman unit.

Cayman GTR to Debut at Sebring 12 Hour
2/13/2006 - Danbury, CT
Farnbacher Loles Motorsports will unveil the Cayman GTR at the legendary 12 Hours of Sebring race weekend, March 15-18. The limited edition GTR has been highly anticipated by both the Porsche faithful and the media. At the heart of the GTR is a Porsche 3.8 liter S or X-51 engine in either 375 hp or 405 hp variations. Drawing on Farnbacher Loles extensive racing success, the GTR also features a unique adjustable suspension designed to work in concert with the sizable increase in power.
From the outside, the GTR is easily identified by the new, aggressive Cup car inspired front end and 19” black center wheels. Farnbacher Loles has also created a proprietary rear spoiler which replaces the stock Cayman unit but still retains the height adjustability. Inside, the GTR displays hand-crafted leather accents to distinguish it from its less powerful siblings.
The GTR can be ordered as a complete vehicle or an existing Cayman can be converted to GTR specs. To learn more about the awesome GTR, contact Roger Garbow at Farnbacher Loles Motorsports, 203.798.2929 or Roger@FarnbacherLoles.com.
