Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS

This sound is music In any case, this kind of purism is otherwise only known from racing cars or empty track day conversions. And we actually thought we knew it too, the 718 Cayman, and of course the 4.0-litre naturally aspirated engine. In Flacht – where Porsche's GT department and racing team are based – they first ripped five kilograms off the rear of the 911 GT3, then shaved it off, turned it 180 degrees and planted it directly behind the ultra-light carbon bucket seats of the GT4 RS. There it now rages, in the centre of the vehicle, becoming the linchpin of the driving experience. Although with 500 hp it officially loses ten hp in the extended exhaust system – according to the performance measurement, even a further eight – it gains vocal power from the change of location. Because the small, triangular rear windows give way to additional intakes. These are now directly at ear level.
