The ultimate performance-oriented variant of the Cayman debuted at the Porsche Centre JB.
At yesterday’s official opening of the Porsche Centre Johor Bahru, Sime Darby Auto Performance launched the most performance-oriented version of the 718 family – the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS.
There’s special significance to this model. It’s the first time the ‘RS’ moniker has been used on a Porsche model other than the 911. It’s also powered by the same 4.0L naturally aspirated flat six as the 911 GT3. Compared to the 718 Cayman GT4, this version of the car has an additional 80PS and 20Nm of torque and shaved 23 seconds off its Nürburgring laptime. It goes from 0-100km/h in just 3.4 seconds and has a top speed of 315km/h.
Here’s the press release with information.
