Someone's V8 Swapped A Porsche Cayman And It's Brilliantly Sacrilegious
In a move that's likely to make your average Porsche purist explode with indignation, this Cayman has been given a Ford Coyote V8 in place of its stock flat-six
We haven’t been able to find out a huge amount about this build, other than the dyno results obtained by ‘Power By The Hour Performance’, based in Boynton Beach, Florida. It managed an impressive 428hp at the wheels - which will be over 500hp at the crank. In a dinky Cayman, that’s an absurd figure.
It’s worth noting this isn’t the only V8-swapped Cayman out there: do a little digging and you’ll find Caymans with Audi V8s, Caymans with LS engines and even a Cayman with Porsche’s own ‘M28.41’ eight-pot. But a Coyote V8? That’s a new one on us.
Right now though, we just want to see it in action…
Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

That thing probably sucks up all the air in the car and you die from asphyxiaction :))
looks like the plan to seal off the cockpit, and use the small sidewindows for airflow.
Just don’t let it loose around crowds.
If you think about it, if you have an engine failure in a Porsche you will pay a fraction of price to swap it with something american and V8.
And you will still have the money to use those 5 sets of tires to get to 60 :)
Oh my god, they trapped demons!
RUF is dat u?
Don’t worry bro, i got you- Spoiler probably
they put the engine in the rear thank god they fixed this
always asked myself why porsche made cayman FR and not RR
you’re cooked m8… Cayman/Boxster has always been MR, 911 RR and Panamera is FR.
well considering your average Porsche purist doesn’t give a damn about caymans, i’d say you are wrong.
