2022 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is a mid-engine GT3:
, but spun around and mounted beneath the rear liftgate glass, a placement that virtually puts it inside the passenger compartment. In the GT4 RS, this high-revving, naturally aspirated, dry-sump flat-six makes 493 horsepower at 8400 rpm and 331 pound-feet of torque at 6750 revs.
Likewise, the RS's seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission gearing is more aggressive than the Cayman GT4's, instead using the tightly spaced cogs of the GT3's gearbox, in which seventh gear tops out at just 0.84:1 instead of a lazier 0.71:1. Beyond that, the Cayman GT4 RS is more aggressive than the GT4 in the final-drive department, with short 4.17:1 rear-end gearing instead the regular GT4's taller 3.89:1 final-drive.
The driving position is slightly hunched forward owing to fixed-angle one-piece buckets—18-way adjustable seats are available at no-cost—but this absolutely suits on-track and aggressive driving because it puts you up on the wheel in a way that generates more leverage.
Hood-mounted NACA ducts funnel air down to the GT3-esque front brakes, which feature six-piston fixed calipers that squeeze 16.1-inch rotors whether you stick with the standard iron discs or upgrade to the cross-drilled carbon-ceramic setup. The rear end features four-pot calipers and either 15.0-inch iron discs or 15.4-inch carbon-ceramic ones.
The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS arrives this summer and should start at $144,050, which seems like a bargain since it undercuts the GT3 by nearly $20,000. Sure, you can nudge that close to $200,000 if you get frisky with the options sheet, but that's par for the course in Porscheland. To paraphrase Ferris Bueller, if you have the means, and want a track-focused car you won't lock away in a glass garage, we highly recommend picking one up.
