Porsche Cayman GTS Conquers Go-Kart Track

You probably hear about cars with “go-kart-like” handling pretty frequently and Porsche is out to prove its Cayman GTS fits the bill.

A new video from the German automaker shows off the Cayman GTS and its handling capabilities as the new sports car rips it up on a go-kart track in northern Italy. The 2015 Porsche Cayman GTS will feature a 3.4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine with 340 hp and 280 lb-ft of torque and will be offered with either a six-speed manual transmission or the company’s seven-speed PDK dual-clutch automatic transmission.
