Porsche Of The Day: 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS
The Porsche 718 family recently welcomed a new flagship model, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS which has been designed for maximum driving pleasure. Porsche let the GT department, their skunkworks team, at Stuttgart go slightly (read: completely) insane. The result is a $145,000 USD Porsche Cayman that carries a...
A razor-sharp track tool. A highly agile mid-engine concept with 4.0-litre displacement and a six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine. These are all the things that have been said about the epic 718 GT4 RS.  It is no surprise then that every 718 GT4 RS video review in recent months has been...

Is The Cayman GT4 RS Better Than the Current 911 GT3?
Is The New Cayman GT4 RS Better Than the Current 911 GT3? The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is the one we’ve been waiting for. No more less-special engines. No more hamstrung long gears. With the *actual* 4-liter engine from the GT3, a gearbox featuring strengthened hardware and shorter gear ratios,...

The most significant change is the 4.0 litre six-cylinder boxer engine. This high-revving powerplant has been taken directly from the 911 GT3 Cup race car and develops 500 PS in the 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport – 75 PS more than the previous GT4 Clubsport model. In addition to many upgraded details, the focus in developing the new 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport was on further improving overall performance. The standard 7-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK) fitted to the car now uses all seven forward gears, rather than six.
New for 2022 is the most exciting Cayman ever, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The GT4 RS is equipped with the same scintillating flat-six engine that powers the 911 GT3. It's a 4.0-liter unit that makes 493 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque in the GT4 RS. Porschephiles will notice that those figures are not quite as high as in the 911 GT3, which packs 502 hp and 346 lb-ft. Big numbers for a small, lightweight car. It is only available with a seven-speed dual-clutch to optimize lap times further. Nobody has driven it yet from the motoring public, but we eagerly await that day and will report back here.
