2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Review | Does the raciest Cayman realise its potential on track?

After nearly two decades, the 2023 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS finally unleashes the mid-engined coupe’s potential with a 368kW 4.0-litre flat-six from the 911 GT3, lightweight body panels and a substantial suspension overhaul.
But does this racer for the road realise its potential in its natural habitat - the racetrack - and does the quickest and priciest Porsche Cayman ever justify its huge price tag?
Scott Newman hits one of the world’s greatest race circuits in one of the world’s finest performance cars to find out.

I hope you appreciate your job, I'm happy if i see one parked😅

[@johnnyresistance]

great review 👍

[@CarJunkie]

What... long gearing? First time i've heard that about the 4RS.

[@Pumpedandy]

Last thing this car has is long gears

[@addictedtosliding]

Apologies if it wasn't clear, the point I was trying to make is the regular Cayman GT4 has very long gearing, but the GT4 RS does not suffer from that problem

[@pureroadster59]

Brilliant as always mate

[@Airbag1010674]

Why do you have the steering wheel set so high? Holy moly it's in the roof liner.

[@hernanorihuela3230]

Good review

[@badnewsricardo1192]

Where are you getting your pricing from?

[@carsales]

This is the recommended retail pricing

[@davidstanic3081]

Great ride to modify for the track by taking it to Porsche to add track orientated mods

[@rhysrhysrhys]

Yes, so good!

[@pops.718GT4RS]

Why are you wearing both 4 points harness and regular safety belt? Perhaps, the car is so fast that you need a double protection.

[@rhysrhysrhys]

Car probably makes a noise if the 3 point belt isn't plugged in, and its much nicer to drive on the track with a harness than just the 3 point belt.

[@addictedtosliding]

Exactly what Rhys said. Be a pretty annoying video if the seatbelt buzzer was going constantly for almost 10min!

[@stephenwhitworth7701]

There is a concept known as privileged, it kind of goes around those that do what you do for a job, touching things that mere mortals such as myself can only dream of. In years long past that was a poster on the wall of a teenager, today it revolves around reviewer envy. I'm glad you had the balls to admit that the Cayman has long been the better car only starved of the limelight by Porsche management. See, competition drives innovation, but "Profit" is king.

[@billshoe22191]

Disappointing that they still haven’t fixed the gearing. You would think at least on the RS they would give it proper gearing

[@Pumpedandy]

Gearing is absolutely not an issue If anything on the road the gears aren’t long enough

[@addictedtosliding]

Apologies if it wasn't clear, it's not problem in the GT4 RS due to the shorter gearing and greater power. Was trying to make the point that it's a problem in the standard GT4 but not in the RS.
