New Powerhouse

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS.

60 Percent More Downforce

Downforce and a motorsport look: The fixed rear wing with swan neck mount and aluminum supports increases aerodynamic efficiency and, in the performance position, boosts downforce by 60 percent compared to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4. Derived from the Porsche 911 RSR GT race car, the consistently optimized aerodynamics maximize driving fun on the racetrack.

4 Special Air Intakes

Sound and cooling: Air intakes behind the driver and passenger windows replace the small side windows that are otherwise standard here on the 718 Cayman. They improve management of the intake air and generate an emotionally charged intake sound. The air intakes behind the back wheels now serve to cool the engine rather than taking in air for combustion.

7:09.30 minutes

Motorsport gene: The new mid-engine sports car beat the lap time of the 718 Cayman GT4 on the 20.8-kilometer Nürburgring Nordschleife by exactly 23.6 seconds.

9,000 rpm

The Heart: The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter six-cylinder boxer engine (718 Cayman GT4 RS: Fuel consumption* combined (WLTP) 13.0 l/100 km, CO₂ emissions* combined (WLTP) 295 g/km, CO₂ class G , CO₂ class weighted combined G ) enables speeds of up to 9,000 rpm and delivers 368 kW (500 PS), which is 59 kW (80 PS) higher than the engine of the 718 Cayman GT4 ().

1,415 kg

Lightweight design: Thanks to carbon-fiber-reinforced plastic, lightweight carpeting, and a reduction in insulation materials, the sports car weighs 35 kilograms less than the 718 Cayman GT4.

315 kmh

Sprint capacity: The high-performance derivative can accelerate from 0 to 100 kmh in just 3.4 seconds and achieves top track speed in the seventh gear.

Zero hour

The Porsche Design Chronograph 1 is the 911 of wristwatches.

Dynamic Dominance

A current of 900 amperes delivers so much more electric energy to the electric motor at the rear axle than ever before. That and many other optimizations allow the Taycan Turbo GT to achieve top speeds.

Changing the landscape

Andrew Frankel, founder of The Intercooler, first tested the Porsche Taycan when it was launched some five years ago – and, as he explains below, it transformed his attitude to electric cars.
