Finally, the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is official, and it’s the most extreme Cayman model yet. For starters, it completed the 12.8-mile Nürburgring-Nordschleife configuration in just 7:04.511 minutes, which is more than 23 seconds faster than its more tame variant, the 718 Cayman GT4. Power comes from a naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-six engine making 493 hp and 331 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch PDK transmission. Read more for two videos, additional pictures and information.
All of the extra power means that the Cayman GT4 RS can hit 62 mph in a mere 3.2-seconds, while topping out at 196 mph. It also comes equipped with a track-focused adjustable suspension, complete with tuned dampers, springs, and anti-roll bars, while ball-joints connect it to the body, allowing the vehicle to sit 30 mm lower than a standard Cayman GT4. You can order a 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS now, priced from $141,700 USD.

California has been a second home for Porsche for decades. In 2018, we revealed the current generation of 911 in Los Angeles. Now, we are presenting the high-performance version of our mid-engine coupe here– the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. Our electric sports sedan, the Taycan, has also become a fixture on California roads. With the new Taycan GTS models we are expanding the model portfolio even further,” said Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board at Porsche AG.
