Things you don’t know about the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS.

Porsche fans have calling for the brand to take the engine from the 911 GT3 and put it into the Cayman.  Porsche had danced around the concept for a while, giving us the Cayman, then the Cayman S followed by the Cayman R and then the performance focused GT4 but now, Porsche has decided to give the purists what they have been yearning for and that is the Cayman GT4RS.  They have taken the naturally aspirated 4 liter flat 6 from the legendary 911 GT3 and with some clever engineering made it a home in the Cayman resulting in 493 HP.  This is way up from the regular Cayman’s 414 HP.  Torque is up to 331 lb ft from the regulars 317 lb ft.  Now Porsche wasn’t about to steal the 911 GT3’s thunder so the Cayman may share the same powertrain but the 911 GT3 has 502 HP and 346 lb ft torque.

If a car redlines at 6, 7 or 7500 rpm’s that’s impressive. One of the bragging points of the 911 GT3 is it’s 9000 rpm redline which the GT4RS now shares.

One would think spending $145,000 on a Porsche Cayman one would get aluminum, perhaps metal or at least plastic logo badging on the car: but that just isn’t so on the Cayman GT4RS. Instead you get decals.  Both the GT4RS badge on the back and the Porsche logo on the front are decals. Porsche wasn’t taking the cheap way out, instead this decision was to save weight, because when it comes to a sports car every ounce counts.

The Cayman comes with a highly modified Aero package. Where the normal Cayman comes with a window just behind each door. Not so on the GT4RS, instead you get an air intake that feeds more air to the larger engine. You also get Porsche’s new swan neck wing.  Porsche found that having the mounts attack over the top; resembling a swan neck, great down force could created with less air disturbance.  Combined with the other ground effects package, optimized underbody, new adjustable front diffuser, lip diffuser; rear diffuser you get 25% more down force than a regular Cayman.
