.............................................................
Is the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS the ULTIMATE Porsche driver's car? Well, it’s time to find out!
You see, when you look at the stats on paper, it seems like the GT4 RS could easily be the best Porsche ever produced. Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 4-litre naturally-aspirated flat-six (no surprise there). However, unlike in the regular GT4, this is the same engine taken from the GT3, and as a result, it puts out 500hp & 450Nm of torque! What’s more, it also revs to a glorious 9,000RPM… ❤️
But of course, there’s still so much more to talk about! When it comes to the design, there are a number of changes over the regular Cayman & the GT4, from a carbon fibre bonnet & front splitter up top, to additional vents down the side and a massive carbon fibre at the back!
Once you step inside, there’s Alcantara found throughout, although the infotainment system still isn’t the best… But then again, when you’ve got 9000RPM, who cares about the stereo!
It costs from £108k, and the car we’ve got here costs £131k! But surely it’s got to be worth it, right?! You’ll have to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

[@neilturner6749]

Here in Europe it’s illegal to sell a new car above MSRP so we don’t have that worry. The downside is that we actually can’t buy the car because our % of build allocations vs customer orders is very low (about 1 in 30 vs 1 in 8 in the US assuming Porsche’s usual RS pattern). This means that Americans will typically pay around 75% more for a GT4RS but have a 400% greater chance of getting one. Which is why California is overrun with GT model Porsches!

[@user-jf8gd3lv7q]

No no no no.... Just forget this dumb "manual transmission mimimimi"! There just isn't a "ideally coupled onto a manual transmission" thing with the Porsche 718 GT4 RS, because the PDK is the absolute perfect transmission for this already legendary race car for the road. It's the fastest shifting transmission on this planet and you can even shift it with the stick on the middle console, just like a sequential transmission. For a 2022 super sports car this is quite unique! A manual transmission in this car would be totally irrelevant, because the GT4 RS would be way too fast for a manual transmission.
