The all new 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS was spotted spec’d in Signal Yellow with an exposed carbon fiber hood and black wheels. These images were taken and posted to Instagram by user @petrolracer. The model was spotted outside of the Porsche Center in Stuttgart, Germany. The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS is already available to order and has a release date of Summer 2022.
Performance Specs
The naturally aspirated flat-six engine used in the 911 GT3 powers the Signal Yellow 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. It produces specs of 493 horsepower and 331 lb-ft of torque. In comparison, that is an increase of 79 horsepower and 14 lb-ft of torque to the specs of the standard Cayman GT4. Like every modern RS variant, the new 718 Cayman GT4 RS will be offered exclusively with the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (PDK). That allows it to achieve a 0-60 mph time of 3.2 seconds and a top track speed of 196 mph.
Lightweight
In common with its RS model predecessors, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS was constructed with a focus on lightweight materials. The U.S. curb weight is 3,227 lbs. – 49 lbs. less than a 718 Cayman GT4 with PDK. For instance, the front fenders and hood are formed out of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). The rear window is also made of lightweight glass. Lightweight door panels with fabric door opening loops and storage nets round off the focus on lowering weight as well.
Rear Wing
The 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS in Signal Yellow features a fixed rear wing with a swan neck mounts and aluminum supports. It is the same design that is found on the new 911 GT3. The model as long has a ride height that is 30 millimeters lower than a standard Cayman, front wheel well ventilation, an aerodynamically optimized underbody with a rear diffusor, an adjustable front diffusor and a new front spoiler lip with flow-around side-blades. As a result, it generates up to 25 percent more downforce than the standard GT4.
Weissach Package
For an added price, the Weissach Package enhances the performance-focused appearance of the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS even further. When this option is selected, the front luggage compartment lid, process air intakes, cooling air intakes, air box lid, exterior mirrors caps and the rear wing are made of carbon fiber. It comes with titanium exhaust tips as well.
Furthermore, the upper part of the dashboard is upholstered in Race-Tex with this option, while the rear window features a large Porsche logo type. Magnesium wheels are available as an addition to the Weissach Package for an additional price.
