For 118 large, I think I'd have to go for the GT3. Sorry.

3.8 liter GTR - based on the Porsche Cayman platform

As any automotive engineer will quickly point out, a mid-engine layout is optimum for maximum handling and overall performance. With the Cayman, Porsche has created a truly impressive mid-engine vehicle. Farnbacher Loles Motorsports has taken the Cayman S and created the awesome GTR. The GTR significantly improves upon the Cayman's already impressive performance in both acceleration and handling, and wrapped it in a jaw-dropping exterior. The GTR is being produced in a limited run of only 20 cars with each vehicle built to the owner's individual specifications as either a complete vehicle or using the customer's own supplied Cayman.

Limited Edition GTR Features:
400-HP 3.8 liter X-51 Engine
REVO Software
Cold Air Intake
Custom Headers and Free-Flow Exhaust
Third Radiator for Additional Cooling
Hi-Performance Clutch
Limited Slip Differential
Short Shifter
CROSS 15-way Adjustable Coilover Suspension
Upgraded Front and Rear Sway Bars
Porsche Ceramic Brakes (PCCB)
Fikse Lightweight Wheels
245/35-19 (f) and 285/30-19 (r) Yokohama ADVAN Sport Tires
997 Euro Cup Aero Front with Splitter
Carbon Fiber Height-Adjustable Rear Spoiler
Carbon Fiber Side Intakes
Carbon Fiber Side Mirror Housings
- plus optional interior upgrades
