Before investing in this model and rushing to empty your pockets, become acquainted with the features of this modern and highly agile mid-engine concept. Here are some of the details that will leave you in awe:
Perfectly Irrational Engine
This gorgeous model of Porsche mid-engine sports car packs a 4.0 liter flat-six engine that resembles that of the Porsche 911 GT3. The manufacturers went bonkers and used the 993 GT3’s unique 4.0 liter flat-six instead of the regular Cayman GT4’s 4.0-liter engine, which was initially inspired by the standard 911 Carrera’s 3.0-liter unit.
This engine puts the recent model on 493 horsepower and 331 pound-feet of torque, providing an increase of 79 hp and 14 lb-ft. The mind-blowing feature is that the GT4 RS revs to a 9000 rpm redline. It will have a maniacal sound and wild character with that optional titanium exhaust tips. Now that would be the most memorable dose of adrenaline!
Need for Speed
A seven-speed dual-clutch PDK automatic provides the only transmission option that offers shorter gearing in comparison to the ordinary PDK in the standard GT4. It also demonstrates the same manual-equipped shifter design as that of the 911 GT3.
A claim presents that this model of Porsche will hit 60 mph in just 3.2 seconds that is half a second quicker than the regular GT4 with PDK and resembles the same time as that of GT3. What is more shocking, at the same time astonishing, is that it can hit a top speed of 196 mph that is 9 mph greater than the standard GT4. But it is 1 mph slower than the standard GT3.
What an Exterior and Interior!
GT4 RS utilizes 20 inches forged aluminium wheels with center locks. Now that is a first for a Cayman model. The standard tires recommended for the model are Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 or Dunlop Sport Max. In addition, an option of Super Sticky Michelin Sport Cup 2 R rubber is offered as an alternative.
The adjustable suspension accommodates new dampers, revised springs, anti-roll bars and new ball joints. Moreover, this model is 49 pounds lighter than a PDK-equipped GT4. A lightweight rear window, novel door panels with fabric door pulls, and carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic construction for the hood and front fenders contributes in reducing the weight.
That is not all! An optional Weissach Package provides a carbon-fiber finish to the hood, air intakes, side mirrors and rear wings. It gives this model titanium exhaust tips, a Porsche script on the rear window, a Race-Tex suede dashboard, Weissach RS badges and headrest stitching.
If you are looking for magnesium wheels which are available in a rad Deep-Sea Blue finish to match the titanium exhaust when it gets hot, a huge amount will leave your bank account.
A monster on the Road
This exquisite Porsche model is a beast on the racing track! The main goal was to achieve a time of 7 minutes and 15 seconds. However, to everyone’s surprise, it is a whole lot faster. It sets the blazing Nurburgring lap time of 7 minutes and 9.3 seconds across the track’s longer configuration. It definitely makes a whooshing sound like a deadline. In other words, the RS model is 24 seconds quicker than the standard GT4.
The Takeaway
This Porsche model is the most intense sports car in addition to 911 R. It will make history in the industry of supercars in Dubai because of its brilliance in the race field and high-spirited appearance. It provides the best climax to the road trip. The GT4 RS will remain on sale as long as the 718 Cayman does. Hence, it determines to be in the market for the next few years until a new electrical replacement comes into action. Mark the dates when it goes for sale next summer!
