  • The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is a luxury sport coupe and the most hardcore, track-focused Cayman to date. In this video, Alistair Weaver from Edmunds gets behind the wheel of the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS to see just how well it performs out on the track. Alistair pushes the Cayman GT4 RS to the limit to see if the 493-horsepower sports car can really do 0-60 mph in 3.2 seconds as Porsche says. Can the 718 GT4 RS live up to the hype of being called the purest track version of the Cayman? Alistair and his team are here to find out. This is our instrumented test of the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS.

    Best car ever made replacing the LFA, let me explain.
    An LFA was a masterpiece because they spent billions to prove a point and they did, money no option they gave us a best sounding engine ever made.
    This GT4 RS just has it all although they left 10% on the table because of the GT3 but they just made this to make car enthusiasts happy and we really are happy and sad 😂😭

    To put it in proper perspective OSHA says 85 db averaged over an 8-hour period then you need hearing protection. So little blirps to 105 db is not hazardous unless it averages out to more than 85 db over 8 hours. I would think it would be way more hazardous to buy one of these without consulting the wife, than listening to the music that engine produces.

      I presume they done the test on turns that arn’t wide which explains the low numbers, but since its narrowed and measured explains why the STO and others are also low but measurable and can compare cars togather

    If Joe Biden keeps screwing up your economy, gas prices will be so high, these sort of cars will get killed off, as happened in the UK in 1972 (but that was only temporary). With the 0-60mph time, one reviewer (Remove before Race) did it in 2.96 whereas you slid your way to 3.5. I don't think you are correct in saying the GT4 does 3.8 in manual, as I have one and the Porsche quoted figure is 4.4. Anyway, thanks for making us pine for a superb RS car.
