Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS: performance

This incredible run time at the Nurburgring is due to the fact that the GT4 RS is a bit lighter but also significantly more powerful than the GT4. Under the hood, it has a naturally aspirated, 4.0-liter flat-six engine that produces 500 hp – 80 hp more than the GT4 – and revs up to 9,000 rpm. . It also produces 30Nm more torque than the GT4, at 450Nm. This engine is similar to that found in its predecessor, the 911 GT3, but with a slight tweaking.

All this power helps GT4 RS accelerate from 0-100 km / h in just 3.4 seconds and reach a maximum speed of 315 km / h. While the GT4 can also be equipped with a six-speed manual transmission, the GT4 RS is only available with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic. The weight savings – up to 35kg compared to the GT4 – is due to the extensive use of carbon fiber reinforced plastic for the bonnet and front spoiler. The use of a light rear windscreen also helps.
