Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS has
returned to the Nürburgring with a few extra goodies. Looking decidedly more
aggressive than the standard 718 Cayman GT4, the RS features a new hood with
NACA ducts. That isn’t the only change as the front fenders appear wider and
feature camouflage up top. This suggests
they could vents similar to the ones used on sporty versions of the 911.
Moving further back, we can see center
locking wheels which cover a high-performance braking system with massive discs
and yellow calipers. The rear quarter glass has also been replaced by scoops
which direct air to the car’s mid-mounted engine. The rear end largely carries
over, but there’s a massive wing which is unique to the RS variant. We can also
see what appears to be a new exhaust system.
Porsche has been tight-lipped about the
upcoming model, but it’s expected to use an upgraded version of the naturally
aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six that resides in the 718 Boxster Spyder and 718
Cayman GT4. In those models, it produces 414 hp and 420 Nm of torque. This allows them to
accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 4.4 seconds and onto a top speed of up
to 304 km/h.
There’s no word on how much the power the
718 Cayman GT4 RS will have, but rumors have suggested anywhere from 444 hp to 493 hp. However, we’re sure Porsche
won’t let it encroach too far into 911 territory.
