What else could fit?
Alpine A110
Mid-engined 2-seat coupe like the GT4, but lighter and more road-biased; strong cross-shop if you want Cayman-style balance over outright practicality.
Compare the models โBMW M2
Manual rear-drive performance coupe with track-day appeal, but front-engined and 2+2; good comparator for buyers considering a usable GT4 alternative.
Compare the models โPorsche 911
Natural step up within Porsche: similar performance intent and manual availability in some trims, but with rear-engine character and broader daily usability.
