718 Cayman GT4 RS
The first Cayman to wear RS.
Hey — good to see you. Come stand here a second.
This is the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The first Cayman Porsche ever let wear those two letters: RS. There’s a real reason for that — let us walk you through it.
Quick bit of history first, so it all makes sense.
981 Cayman GT4
3.8L · 385 PSThe first one. A 3.8 flat-six, a manual, and proof a Cayman could really go.
Cayman GT4 Clubsport
MotorsportSame idea, but built to race. The Cayman heads into the GT4 class.

4.0L · 420 PSA bigger 4.0 six. The press basically called it an instant classic.

4.0L · 500 PSThen someone asked: what if we drop the GT3 engine in? And here we are.
Start with the engine — it’s the whole point.
It’s the 4.0 flat-six straight out of the 911 GT3. No turbo, revs to 9,000. And the intakes sit right behind your head — so you don’t just hear it, you feel it.
It’s a little unhinged. In the best way.
See the wing? It’s mounted from the top — swan-neck, like the race cars. Cleaner air underneath.
None of it’s for show. The ducts, the splitter, the diffuser — all doing a job. And it’s 35 kg lighter than a normal GT4.
The numbers: 0–100 in 3.4, tops out at 315.
Round the Nürburgring it ran about seven-oh-four. Roughly 23 seconds quicker than the regular GT4 — that’s a huge gap for the same shape.
Climb in. Race-Tex, carbon buckets that actually hold you, a yellow marker at twelve o’clock.
Nothing in here you don’t need. That’s kind of the point.
Now — this exact car.
It’s got the Weissach Package: the proper lightweight kit, carbon everywhere, titanium tailpipes. Finished in Bahama Yellow, on magnesium wheels, with carbon-ceramic brakes.
Kept just the way it left Stuttgart.
