For years on end, fans of Porsche saw the mid-engined Cayman as an absolute treasure trove of untapped performance car potential. However, the introduction of the Porsche Cayman GT4 in 2015 saw much of that potential realized, with the high-performance, motorsport-focused version of the mid-engined sports car getting put on a similar pedestal to many of the more potent versions of the legendary 911. However, Porsche had more in store, and that came in the form of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS in 2022.
What’s the difference between the 718 Cayman GT4 and the 718 Cayman GT4 RS?
With the Porsche 911 GT3’s engine, derived from the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR race cars, the GT4 RS boasts 493 horsepower (slightly less than the GT3 due to being mid-mounted and thus having a longer exhaust), and gets from 0-60 in just 3.2 seconds, reaching a soaring top speed of 196 mph. On the bottom line when it comes to track times, the GT4 RS managed to eclipse the GT4 by an incredible 23 seconds around the famed Nurburgring. Power isn’t the only improvement that the GT4 RS underwent. The inclusion of lots of carbon fiber, the swan neck wing, advanced cooling and aerodynamics, and a lightning-fast 7-speed PDK transmission made significant contributions to the car’s incredible success.
What is the Weissach Package?
Porsche offers a Weissach Package for many of its track-focused GT models, and the incredibly-potent 718 Cayman GT4 RS is certainly no exception. Named after Porsche’s home racetrack, the Weissach package adds things like the option to equip weight-saving magnesium wheels, an exposed carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber bucket seats, and more. It’s a one-way ticket to turning your car into an ultimate track-ready machine.
What does “RS” stand for?
Porsche’s most potent and track-ready models are designated “RS,” which stands for “Renn Sport,” translated to “race sport.” What it means is that you’re getting a car made purely to get around a track as fast as possible.
Does the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS come with a manual transmission?
Unfortunately, no. While many purists find the experience of driving with three pedals and rowing through gears with a manual shifter an irreplaceable joy, Porsche designed this car with performance as the number one priority, which meant that in favor of the quicker-shifting and easier usability, only the 7-speed PDK was offered, which does allow the driver to shift more quickly and efficiently than with a manual.
