The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS

17/11/2021

The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS is perfectly irrational with outstanding aerodynamics, lightweight construction, and precision driving dynamics. The latest member of the RS family has one goal in mind: perfecting performance.

Powered by a naturally aspirated 4.0 litre engine with six individual throttle valves. A maximum engine speed of 9,000 rpm that develops 500 PS and 450Nm of torque. This makes the 718 Cayman GT4 RS the most powerful 718 production vehicle ever. The mid-engine concept is key to ensuring excellent agility and perfect weight distribution. At home on the racetrack, mountain passes, and winding country roads the 718 Cayman GT4 RS is uncompromising.

A decisive performance can partly be attributed to the extensive lightweight construction. Among other things, the front lid, the front wings, and the rear wing are made of carbon fibre reinforced plastic (CFRP).  Weight saving does not stop there, with a stainless stell sports exhaust system and rear window made of lightweight glass. The optional Weissach Package brings the world of motorsport even closer boasting a carbon-weave or titanium finish.

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS chronograph by Porsche Design is exclusively available only to owners of the sports car. It can be configured to match the exact specification of the vehicle, featuring the same materials found on the exterior and interior of the GT4 RS. If you have opted for the Weissach Package for your vehicle, you can also do so with the accompanying timepiece.

The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS is uncompromising, not altogether sensible and, to some, perfectly irrational. For those looking for performance perfection, look no further. Impressive acceleration, precise control during corners and a truly unique sound is sure to get the adrenalin pumping.

Perfectly irrational. The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
