The Porsche Cayman GT4 RS has finally arrived, and AdamTowler’s put it through its paces…
Hence, the final figures of 493bhp at 8,400rpm and 332lb ft of torque at 6,750rpm , with the rev limiter set to 9,000rpm. The only gearbox available, as has become the RS model norm, is a twin-clutch PDK, but crucially the GT department has lowered the overall gearing to the point where seventh is no longer overdriven, and top speed is achieved in that gear. Given that long gear ratios have been one of the few criticisms of Porsche GT cars in recent years, this could make a major difference.
But the magic really starts when you wake that flat six behind your head, because it’s at this point that reason and almost anything else logical gets thrown out of the window. The 4-litre engine breathes through twin intakes that take the place of a 718’s usual rear quarter glass, the path from your inner ear to the six individual throttle bodies is a short and extraordinarily direct one.
More recognisable is the way it steers and stops, which is to say superb. But then so is the regular GT4 in this regard, and the RS just feels like one of those but more so. It’s firm riding but never uncomfortable, has a steering response that’s deft to the point where any notion that an electrically assisted rack can never feel natural and communicative is laughable, and possesses a startling amount of road grip.
We also drove the GT4 RS at Anglesey circuit, but unfortunately our session is restricted by heavy rain that makes splashing around the course a constant search for grip. But with the incredibly sharp and precise nature of the RS’s throttle it’s possible to drive the car right up to and over the limit of grip in the knowledge that you can ask for just enough power, but not inadvertently too much in any given situation.
