The car we thought Porsche wouldn't dare build is here - JDennisonCars drives the Cayman GT4 RS 🏁
► We drive fastest Cayman yetWelcome to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS – otherwise known as a car that many thought Porsche wouldn't dare build. Why? Well there's long been a suspicion that Porsche's held back its Cayman sports car so that it doesn't tread on the toes of the more expensive 911.
And that's only the start. OK, so the GT4 RS doesn't get the double wishbone front suspension setup from the 911 GT3, but on current evidence there's a strong argument that it doesn't need it. Compared with the GT4, the body has been lowered by 30mm, the front and rear track are 6mm and 8mm wider respectively and the rear axle camber has been upped by a quarter of a degree.
Although, in all honesty that applies to most aspects of the GT4 RS. Throttle response is as sharp as one of Gordon Ramsay's chef knives, while the power delivery is as buttery smooth and linear as a margarine ski slope. Some may be disappointed by the compulsory presence of a seven-speed PDK gearbox , but the consolation prize is that it's a darn good one.
