This Porsche Cayman had its engine swapped for a Mustang Coyote V8

There is not much to see except for a V8-powered Cayman.

The Porsche Cayman987 was by no means an ineligible sports car. The Cayman R was actually more powerful than its predecessor, and produced 326 horsepower (243 Kilowatts) as well as 273 pound-feet (372 Newton-meters) of torque. It is powered by a 3.4-liter flat six engine.

With a six-speed manual gearbox, these numbers were sufficient to propel the second-generation Cayman to speeds of 100 km/h (62 miles per an hour) in just five seconds. The rear-engined Porsche also reached 282 km/h (175 miles).

You might think those performance numbers are enough. However, someone four years ago believed otherwise. This person believed he needed more. What better engine could he turn to than the 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated Coyote-powered Coyote-powered Coyote-powered Coyote-powered Mustang ?

This Porsche Cayman was given an engine transplant by Performance in 2016. (embedded above) and discovered by Track. This is a wild idea that could easily be included in the list for the most absurd engine swaps, perhaps second only to the Cummins powered Mazda RX-8. Okay. Calm your body. Breathe.

The engine transplant meant that the V8 was left in the Cayman’s engine bay, with the air filter still inside the trunk. The original poster of this video still had a reading of 428 horsepower (319 kW) with 364 lbft (494 Nm). It was quite impressive.

But there’s one problem. It must have been chaos in the car while it was driving, even though there wasn’t an engine cover (assuming that the owner didn’t bother fixing that problem). Legend has it that this car’s owner was either deaf or lost his hearing after one week of driving it.
