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…

a cayman with a crossplane v8 isnt bad because its mid engined, unlike the 911 which is rear engined and crossplane v8s in rear engined cars make then no more smooth

Cost of the engine swap will probably bee offset by saved maintenence costs as ling as the owner keeps it long enough.

I hope RUF has been taking notes.
Their 4.5L flatplane V8 would be pretty neat in this.

What would be cooler than a V8 swap would be a Flat 8 TT swap. Connecting 2 new 718 engines together!
