At the Los Angeles Auto Show, which begins the day after tomorrow, Porsche will present a long-awaited car. In recent months, prototypes could be seen on the Nordschleife, suggesting that an RS version of the 718 Cayman GT4 was in the pipeline. And now it is ready for production. As the new top model in the 718 series, the GT4 RS gets the 4-liter six-cylinder boxer engine from the 911 (992) GT3. At up to 9,000 rpm, this naturally aspirated engine generates 368 kW\/500 hp, 59 kW\/80 hp more than the previous 718 Cayman GT4. Torque climbs from 430 to 450 Nm. As in the 911 GT3 RS, power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox (PDK). At the same time, the DIN unladen weight is reduced by 35 to 1,415 kilogram compared with a 718 Cayman GT4 with PDK. With this combination of power and even more pronounced lightweight construction, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS laps the Nordschleife more than 23 seconds faster than its predecessor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Improved aerodynamics with more downforce<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The sprint from a standstill to 62 mph takes just 3.4 seconds. The topspeed on the data sheet is 195 mph, which the car achieves in seventh gear. Based on the bodyshell of the well-known 718 Cayman GT4, Porsche made a number of changes for the RS. For example, they swapped the front hood for a carbon component with additional NACA air intakes for the front brakes. Behind the doors, there are process air intakes instead of the rear side windows. In this way, the driver and front passenger have the intake noises virtually right in their ears. At the rear, a diffuser and a gooseneck rear wing provide more downforce. To compensate, a larger spoiler lip, a multi-adjustable front diffuser and flics mounted on the side of the front bumper provide downforce at the front. The benefits of the 30 millimeter lowered body are fully exploited by an aerodynamically optimized underbody panel.<\/p>\n\n\n
