The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 is the top-of-the-line variant of the 718 that was introduced in 2020. Like the 718 Spyder, it also shares the same naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-6 derived from the 992’S 3.0-litre 9A2EVO engine, which generates 414 hp. The Cayman GT4 looks completely different from the rest...
2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4
The first iteration of the Porsche Cayman GT4 made its debut in 2015, drawing a conclusion to the third generation of Boxster/Cayman (981). Since that time, the GT4 has become a cult hero amongst purists with its absence of frills (not to be misheard as ‘thrills’), relative affordability and undisputable...

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.
For testing purposes Porsche Motorsport built a few tarmac rally cars based on the Cayman 981 GT4 racing version. The Cayman rally car was the course car for the WRC (World Rally Championship) 2018 ADAC Rallye Deutschland. The FIA R-GT Cup was contested on tarmac rounds of the ERC and WRC, like the German WRC event. For Porsche, the entry of a concept study based on the near-production GT circuit race car was a critical test under real conditions.

The 718 Porsche Cayman GT4 is everything you could possibly want in a sports car.
