The 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS stands as the most extreme iteration of the 718 lineup, meticulously engineered for raw performance and driving purity. At its heart lies a 4.0-liter naturally aspirated flat-six engine, producing 493 horsepower at 8,400 rpm and 331 lb-ft of torque at 6,250 rpm, paired exclusively with a lightning-fast 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission and rear-wheel drive. It rockets from 0--100 km/h in just 3.4 seconds, achieves a top speed of 315 km/h (196 mph), and tips the scales at roughly 3,227 lb (1,415 kg)---thanks to extensive use of lightweight components like carbon-fiber panels and a lightweight rear window. On the Nürburgring, it blitzes the lap in roughly 7:09, outperforming the standard GT4 by over 20 seconds. Beyond sheer speed, the GT4 RS impresses with finely tuned aerodynamics and chassis enhancements. It features a prominent swan-neck rear wing, adjustable front splitter, and GT-derived suspension and brakes---often upgraded to carbon-ceramic hardware. These elements work in concert to generate upwards of 220 pounds of downforce at 125 mph, transforming the RS into a razor-sharp precision instrument that feels alive and connected in every corner. Finished in Shark Blue, why wouldn't you want this low mileage track toy?
