Porsche 718 Cayman Shares Nurburgring with Cayman GT4s, Cayman R In Pure Balance

Sometimes, all the right stars align and we end up with almost inexplicable surges of joy- this is precisely what happen on the Nurburgring yesterday when the infamous German track became the home of a Porsche Cayman range-topping fest.

Some Touristenfahrten (Tourist Days events) are more spectacular than other and the one we have here saw the range-topping incarnations of all three Cayman generations flying from one vibrator to another.

Sure, the 718 Cayman S isn't nearly as hardcore as the pair of GT4s seen in this clip. But, if you're looking for the ultimate no-compromise Cayman, the R that's also included in the footage might just bring that too-stiff-for-the-road-perfect-on-the-track feeling.

The way in which we compare the GT4 and the R above might seem a bit odd, but you should keep in mind that there are certain enthusiasts out there who will only get their giggles when the racecar stiffness feeling kicks in, regardless of how fast a car actually is.

Such a Porscha offensive makes us think about the future 718 Cayman special, or at least the GTS model, but this is another story for another time.

Then again, this piece of footage isn't just about Zuffenhausen creatures. You'll find lots of other tech-splendid machines lapping the Green Hell.

Usually, when a video is over, say, three minutes long, we drop a mention on where the juiciest part of the action is found. However, we'll refrain from doing so here and that's because the cool bits seems to be pretty evenly spread throughout the clip.

After all, you wouldn't want to skip through the clip just because you were in a hurry to tick all your weekend boxes and miss the moment when the driver of a Honda S2000 finds out what happens after one runs out of grip, would you?
