The 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS has returned in a new set of spy shots, accompanying the new 911 (992) GT3. The prototype is still covered in some areas, most notably at the front fenders hiding a set of delicious vents, but we can see that it will look more threatening than the regular 718 Cayman GT4.
A new hood, with air ducts, is part of the
visual upgrade, alongside the bumper with big air intakes, massive rear wing,
two exhaust pipes incorporated into the diffuser, and extra cooling on the
sides for the engine, including the two panels that have replaced the rear
quarter windows.
The Y-spoke center-locking wheels, wrapped
in grippy tires from Michelin, cover the upgraded brakes, with big drilled
discs and yellow calipers. This model will also feature a different suspension
set-up, yet as you can imagine, details are scarce at the moment.
An upgraded version of the naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine, from the 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Boxster Spyder, will power the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. In the two lesser models, it kicks out 420 PS and 420 Nm of torque, for a 0-100 km/h of 4.4 seconds and a 304 km/h top speed in the fixed-roof model. Expect more power from the GT4 RS though, with some reports claiming that it might arrive with 450 PS, whereas others believing that it will boast up to 500 PS.
