An Abundance Of Wings And VentsĮnhanced aero forces the GT4 RS to the pavement, with the swan-neck fixed rear wing being the obvious difference to the standard GT4. The components are connected to the body with ball joints for tighter precision, and for the first time on any Cayman, center-lock wheels are used. The RS sits just over an inch lower with an adjustable track-focused suspension using revised dampers, springs, and sway bar rates. It's only offered with the quick-shifting seven-speed dual-clutch transmission, funneling power to just the rear wheels through paddle shifters on the wheel or the stalk in the center console. Power is nothing if you can't use it, and that's the next chapter in the RS book of performance. Combined with the high-output engine, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 6.5 pounds per hp. You'll also find lightweight glass for the rear window, lightweight doors, and the result is a 3,227-pound (1,464-kilogram) curb weight.

It's not slow by any means, but Porsche says the GT4 RS reaches 60 mph in 3.2 seconds – a half-second quicker than the GT4. Torque checks in at 331 pound-feet (449 Newton-meters), also a bit less than the 911 GT3, but the engine still hits all the high notes with a 9,000-rpm naturally aspirated redline.įor the record, the standard GT4's 4.0-liter engine isn't a GT3 derivative, spinning to 8,000 rpm while producing 414 hp (309 kW) in the process. The 4.0-liter flat-six is pulled straight from the Porsche 911 GT3, though in the mid-engine Cayman it only makes 493 horsepower (368 kilowatts).

That's a good place to start, because in the time it takes you to read this sentence, the GT4 RS can accelerate from a standstill to over 100 mph.
