Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS debuts in India

The GT4 RS transforms the mid-engined Cayman into a track-focused sports car.

Porsche has showcased the 718 Cayman GT4 RS in India for the first time. It is the most hardcore version of the Cayman and is priced at Rs 2.54 crore (ex-showroom).

The GT4 RS transforms the mid-engined Cayman into a track-focused sports car. It features a more aggressive exterior replete with several aerodynamic updates, the most prominent of which, is the top-mounted rear spoiler. The car also has a large front splitter with guiding vanes on either side and a carbon-fibre bonnet with NACA ducts.

The Cayman GT4 RS is powered by a mid-mounted 4.0-litre, 6-cylinder engine that produces 493 BHP and 450 Nm. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, which enables the car to sprint from 0-100 km/h in 3.4 seconds. The GT4 RS can reach a top speed of 315 km/h.

The GT4 RS is 35 kg lighter than the Cayman GTS. It features an RS-specific suspension setup and rides on 20-inch aluminium wheels. Braking is handled by 408 mm and 308 mm disc brakes at the front and rear respectively.
