At Porsche, it’s best not to dwell on unnecessary information so let’s get down to business right away. Note that the Cayman GT4 RS has a six-cylinder flat engine in the central rear position borrowed from its big sister 911 GT3. With a red zone at 9,000 rpm, this unit delivers 500 hp and 450 Nm of torque, ie an increase of 80 hp and 20 Nm of torque compared to the Cayman GT4. The seven-speed PDK gearbox is standard on the GT4 RS. Its acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h also progresses with a 0 to 100 km / h shot in 3.4 seconds against 3.9 seconds for the GT4. The top speed of the new car from the German manufacturer is 325 km / h: a real fighter plane! These performances are due both to the power of the engine as well as to a total mass reduced to 1,415 kg (- 35 kg compared to the GT4).

In the cabin of the Cayman GT4 RS, the sporty atmosphere is ensured by specific bucket seats incorporating the silhouette of the Nürburgring circuit in Germany on the headrests. A Race-Tex coating covers the dashboard while many lightweight elements have been introduced into the vehicle, such as the interior trim of the doors or the rear window. Count from € 144,485 to offer you this super-Cayman, not to mention the penalty of € 40,000 which will be applied to it from 2022.

In short

The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is a kind of mini 911 GT3 particularly well balanced with its 500 hp atmo flat-6 engine, placed in the rear central position unlike the 911 (overhang). This ultimate version of the 718 Cayman accelerates from 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 km / h before reaching 325 km / h in top speed: these performances allowed it to sign a time of 7: 09.300 minutes on the Nürburgring circuit in Germany.
