When the Cayman GT4 first debuted, it set the sports car world on fire. Not only was its capabilities nipping at the heels of the mighty Porsche GT3, the rumor was they had to dial it back for being too good as to not insult their legendary 911 lineup. The Cayman GT4 is just that good. The owner states that the sleek body and bright yellow paint get noticed wherever it goes and it receives compliments on a daily basis. With only 12,987 miles on the clock and one careful owner, this clean Cayman GT4 is worth a test drive and is thousands off new MSRP. Inside the cockpit we find carbon fiber racing seats and racing harnesses for those that want to get serious with this Cayman GT4. A custom roll cage has been added for increased safety and a more stiff chassis to tackle any turn. The power comes via 3.8L flat-6 mated to Porsche鈥檚 fantastic 6-speed manual transmission producing 385 horsepower with 309 lb-ft of torque to push this mid-engine rocket around with speed. We鈥檝e test driven this Cayman, it sounds great, feels great and is outstanding around the corners with sharp turn-in and crisp braking. Definitely not your average mid-engine car experience for the price.
This year鈥檚 annual SEMA Show in Las Vegas is set to get underway for the aftermarket car enthusiasts of the United States on 31 October, and will run until 3 November. It's one of the biggest aftermarket shows in the world. Manufacturers and tuners from across the globe will descend on the Las Vegas Convention Center for four days to showcase their finished products. The show is only available for traders, therefore the public aren't allowed in, but don't despair, as below we have a list of the latest cars that have been teased ahead of the official proceedings. Chevrolet will be celebrating 50 years of partnership with Hot Wheels with the release of the Camaro Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Edition. 4,995 (拢3,780), customers in the US looking to buy a Camaro 2LT or 2SS coupe or convertible can benefit from a special orange paint scheme with two graphite grey stripes down the middle.
The aesthetic makeover also includes 20-inch forged aluminium wheels, Hot Wheels badges dotted around the car and orange brake calipers. Ford will be bringing an armada of 50 vehicles to SEMA 2017 with the Mustang leading the charge. Seven modified Mustangs will be showcased in Las Vegas this year. California鈥檚 MAD Industries has come up with its equivalent of the Mustang Convertible with a unique paintjob and 20-inch wheels. Tucci Hot Rods from New York has come up with a 200mph 2018 Mustang Fastback. Two turbochargers are added to the 5.0-litre V8, the ride height has been lowered and the body has been streamlined in order for the Tucci 鈥楽tang to break the 200mph barrier. Other tuners that have taken kindly to the 2018 Mustang Fastback include DeBerti Design and Air Design, while non-profit organisation DRAGG has decorated the Mustang in a police car livery. Not only does the Pony car get some special treatment, the Focus also gains some extra spoilers. Four modified Focus hatchbacks will be on display, with Blood Type Racing offering a track-day variant of the ST. An anti-lag turbo is fitted to the special ST along with an additional front splitter and big rear spoiler.
The Focus RS gets special treatment from VMP Performance and the Universal Technical Institute. Rally Innovations from Anaheim has created a rally-bed Focus RS with power coming from a Mountune-modified 2.3-litre four-pot. Last week, Hennessey Performance teased an image of its upcoming Venom F5 hypercar with a speed limit sign of 300mph next to it, indicating that its new car could break the 300mph barrier. The Venom F5 was first announced back in 2014 as a successor to the Lotus Exige-based Venom GT, the unofficial world鈥檚 fastest production car. Named after the highest rating on the Fujita tornado measuring scale, the F5 is powered by a 7.0-litre twin-turbocharged Chevrolet V8. Power is said to be in around the 1,400bhp ballpark with a kerb weight of around 1,200 kg. The 300mph top speed means that if it entered production, it could beat the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport by 32mph to enter the Guinness Book of Records as the fastest car in the world. A few weeks ago, Hyundai released images of an extreme Santa Fe SUV in partnership with energy drinks company Rockstar.
Called the Rockstar Moab Extreme Concept, the modified Santa Fe is fitted with chunky off-road tyres, coil-over suspension and six-piston front brakes. A nitrous oxide system is also fitted to add extra grunt for extreme off-road conditions. Rockstar decals are dotted on the Santa Fe amidst a special digital camouflage paint scheme. The roof rack comes from Rockstar鈥檚 Performance Garage division and is fitted with LED lights. Alongside the Santa Fe, its smaller sibling Tuscon will also get a steroid-infused makeover at SEMA 2017. The Korean marque has teamed up with tuning specialists Vaccar to develop the Vaccar Tuscon Sport. The most notable feature straight off the bat is the lowered ride height and 20-inch forged wheels. Also sticking out boldly is the large intercooler behind the front grille. Performance will be improved thanks to a Boostec turbocharger with blow-off valve, an AEM air intake system and a VMS Racing oil-catch tank. Kia has teamed up with West Coast Customs, formerly of MTV鈥檚 'Pimp My Ride' fame, to produce a boisterous version of the Stinger grand tourer.
