Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS - Porsche USA (2024)

The aerodynamic concept of the 718

GT4 RS has been further refined compared to the 718

GT4 and the overall concept adapted to its enormous achievements: performance, aerodynamics, chassis and, of course, design. This is particularly evident on the fixed rear wing with swan-neck connection and on the rear diffuser. And not only provides downforce and high traction – but also a razor-sharp track tool look.

Vehicle shown with Weissach package and other optional equipment.

The highly adjustable front diffuser improves the vehicle's aerodynamic balance and is designed for minimum air resistance to achieve maximum speed. In non-road-approved performance setting for race track use, the 718

GT4 RS achieves considerably more downforce compared to the 718

GT4, optimizing the vehicle's stability, especially in fast corners. In short: the 'form follows function' principle at its very best.

The characteristic, further enlarged rear spoiler of the 718

GT4 RS produces maximum downforce. At its center: a third integrated brake light.

Flacht. Birthplace and home of

race cars, located at the southern end of the

Development Center in Weissach. Here, we continuously develop, test and improve our vehicles – for the one tenth of a second that can make all the difference on the race track. The engine of the 718

GT4 RS also originates from here. The low center of gravity of the mid-mounted engine that is characteristic of the 718 models guarantees dynamic cornering and outstanding performance.

4.0-liter six-cylinder horizontally opposed naturally aspirated engine.

An engine with a high-speed concept, directly derived from the 911 GT3 R and 911 RSR: with a maximum output of 493 hp at 8,400rpm and a maximum torque of 331 lb-ft at 6,250rpm, the centrally positioned 4.0-liter six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine is by far the most powerful in the 718 model range.

Tested on the race track.

Six individual throttle valves optimally supply each of the six cylinders with air, producing an extremely direct response and providing the engine with optimum ventilation. Thanks to the central oil feed, forged pistons and lightweight titanium piston rods, it is not only efficient, but also extremely robust.

Suitable for motorsport.

The development of the engine is inspired by the race track. The rigid valve train and dry-sump lubrication with separate oil tank have already proven their worth in the 911 GT3. The dual-mass flywheel comes from the 718 Cayman GT4 Clubsport.

Outstanding agility, short shift throws, sporty gears with shorter ratios – the 7-speed

Doppelkupplung (PDK). Even seventh gear is sporty and succinct. The design of the PDK gear selector is based on a manual gear lever and also allows manual gear changes. For even more succinct gear changes, simply use the gearshift paddles directly on the steering wheel. The mechanically locking rear differential ensures optimum transfer of power to the road.

Lighter. Even lighter. Closer to perfection. This was the principal that our engineers adopted when designing the 718

GT4 RS. The result: pure performance with a curb weight of just 3,227 lb.

The six-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the front, four-piston aluminum monobloc fixed brake calipers at the rear, all finished in red, and cast-iron and aluminum composite brake discs with an extremely large diameter of 408mm at the front and 380mm at the rear helps to ensure rapid braking – even under high loads, thanks to newly developed brake cooling.

The optional Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with a diameter of 410mm at the front and 390mm at the rear provides excellent braking performance and enables constant braking pressure. Another benefit: the brake discs are approximately 50% lighter than cast-iron brake discs of a similar design and size. The brake calipers are available in yellow as standard and optionally in High Gloss Black.

The co*ckpit stands for total driver orientation, accessibility, directly readable information, excellent functionality, optimal ergonomics and a focus on what really matters. Materials and details in the interior of the 718

GT4 RS, such as non-slip Race-Tex, interior trim in matte carbon fiber and door opening loops, are derived directly from motorsport. The airbox has been moved to the interior, ensuring visual and acoustic proximity to the engine.

Steering wheel rim, the top of the PDK gear selector (including gaiter) and door grab handles of the 718

GT4 RS are covered with Race-Tex. The interior trim on the dashboard and center console are made of matte carbon fiber, highlighting its race track character.

Thanks to reduced insulation and the airbox having been relocated to the interior, you can directly experience the engine noise of your

718

GT4 RS in its purest form.

Clubsport Package shown not available in the US.

Communication Management (PCM) is upgraded to include the Chrono Package and performance display, enabling you to view, store and evaluate recorded lap times. In this way, you can display the current lap time and distance, as well as the number of laps completed. Another eye-catching feature: the analog chrono watch on the dashboard upper section.

Track Precision app.

The

Track Precision app allows you to accurately display, log and analyze driving data on your smartphone. Laps can be timed automatically via a GPS signal from

Communication Management (PCM) and/or manually using the switch in the optional Chrono Package.

Connect.

Connecting you to your

and your

to the world –

Connect. It adds numerous services and the My

app to the existing range of digital functions of your 718

GT4 RS. Navigate to your destinations in the best way possible, synchronize personal contacts and addresses and use your calendar directly in the

Communication Management (PCM).

Connect is your smart co-pilot for everyday life, ensuring a unique sports car experience. Before, during and after the journey.

The new 718

GT4 RS Clubsport exudes pure motorsport with every fiber. Its stomping ground? Competing in sprint and endurance races at an international level. An all-rounder with a six-cylinder 4.0-liter horizontally opposed engine and an output of 368kW (500PS).
