The Cayman GT4 RS shows you exactly what Porsche can do when it puts all its best features into one car. So, is the hottest Cayman ever made also the best car that Porsche currently sells? There’s only one way to find out …
Previously, this wouldn’t have been a clever business idea for Porsche, as it could steal sales from the 911. But since the next-generation Cayman is expected to be propelled purely by electric motors, the Cayman GT4 RS seems to be the ultimate swan song as we bid a proper farewell to this petrol-powered sports car.Since the biggest change in the GT4 RS relates to the engine, we’ll start with that. The 4.
With 493bhp, the Cayman GT4 RS bumps power up from the standard GT4 by 79bhp and is just 10bhp shy of the 911 GT3. Peak power is produced at a heady 8400rpm, but with a dizzying 9000rpm redline you’re encouraged to rev it all the way out. If you want to hear more from the engine bay, the accelerator pedal acts as a foot-operated volume control, except one that already starts at level 8, before moving up to around 15. It's so loud that wearing a helmet on a track day might actually bring a welcome layer of sound insulation during prolonged hard driving.
The adaptive dampers can be switched to a firmer setting at the press of a button, but the GT4 RS handles beautifully even without it. The standard setting allows for a little more pliancy to better deal with mid-corner bumps.
