2023 PORSCHE 718 Cayman GT4 RS review: 0-100, 1/4 mile, 0-200 & engine sound

2023 PORSCHE 718 Cayman GT4 RS review: 0-100, 1/4 mile, 0-200 & engine sound (with launch control). Head over to drivingenthusi... for the full review.
2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS specifications:
368kW (500PS) / 450Nm, 4.0-litre flat 6-cylinder
7-speed dual-clutch DSG auto transmission with front-wheel drive
Claimed 0-100km/h: 3.4 seconds
Official average fuel consumption: 12.7L/100km
Boot space: 125L (front) / 136L (rear)
Price: AU$336,800 (not including on-road costs, at time of upload)
Like the Porsche 911 GT3, the 718 Cayman GT4 is developed by Porsche’s GT motorsport division, tested and tuned by racing car drivers. The RS, though, is pushed to an even higher level.
Judging by the visuals alone, you could mistake this for an actual racing car, that hasn’t yet had its sponsorship decals added on. Various parts are made from carbon fibre to reduce weight, including the bonnet, front guards, and the massive rear wing.
As a result, the RS is 35kg lighter than the regular GT4. It also uses bespoke suspension with 30mm chopped from the ride height, and the enhanced aero work contributes to provide around 25 per cent more downforce than the GT4.
Nestled between the boot and the cabin is a glorious 4.0-litre flat-six engine developing 368kW/500PS at 8400rpm. Naturally aspirated, it can rev to 9000rpm. At which point it sends intense goosebumps down your spine. What does the exhaust sound like? Check out our video above as it'll give you a pretty good idea.

that's a naughty little Porsche

[@WahabGoldsmith]

Great video! Just of note, guess you can call it a mini Porsche secret, but if you hold both shifting paddles and rev, you can take it up to 7K RPM instead of 4.

[@drivingenthusiastaustralia]

Ah ok, that would have been better. Thanks for the tip!

[@tescoshortage]

@@drivingenthusiastaustralia It essentially does the same thing as launch control, just without the launch.

[@ValdeSanus]

Wow this thing is epic

[@TechHead03]
