There is also a six-point harness as an option on the Weissach pack, along with a standard three-point seatbelt for track use and fire extinguishers (Rs 70,000 option) under the passenger seat, although it is a bit intrusive and eats into leg space of the passenger. The bucket seats are one-piece carbon fibre with manual adjust for legroom and electric adjust for height. Shaving weight is critical, hence there is extensive use of carbon fibre. The Weissach pack also contributes on the inside with lots of Race-Tex or Alcantara on the top of the dashboard. Porsche 718 cayman GT4 RS: interior, features The Shark Blue paint on the car seen here is a Rs 6.8 lakh option, and you can go pretty berserk speccing the car up on the Porsche configurator on the official website. The options list on the GT4 RS, like every Porsche, is extensive and, to many of us, extremely expensive as well. Low down, there is a diffuser for more aero, and another Weissach exclusive are titanium tips for the exhaust. The swan-neck carbon-fibre rear spoiler offers 25 percent of additional downforce. At the rear, the highlight is the carbon-fibre swan-neck spoiler, which is also adjustable, and responsible for 25 percent more downforce. Up top, the Weissach pack also gets you carbon scoops for the air intakes that are directly connected to the airbox of the mid-mounted engine. There is more aero in the form of air ducts behind the doors, which incidentally, are prone to collect debris from the road. ![]() The Weissach pack grants you the optional magnesium wheels that help shed 10kg overall.

And in true RS fashion, the Porsche crest on the bonnet is a sticker and not an actual badge. The front splitter can be manually adjusted for two settings and has winglets that channel air around the car. The bonnet, too, is carbon fibre, which on the Weissach pack is in an exposed guise, and gets two NACA ducts for airflow that help cool the brakes.Īerodynamics play a big role in the 718 Cayman GT4 RS, making it a no-nonsense track car.

In terms of design, the RS is a no-nonsense track car with the primary intention of going fast. The perfect recipe then? Or is it too good to be true? Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS: exterior design It is a road car adapted for track use that puts out 500hp via the rear wheels, gets all the aero help a car can get and, with a redline of 9,000rpm for the naturally aspirated engine, a soundtrack to die for. It is legal, but there is a hint of nervousness clouding over you at all times. Driving the 718 Cayman GT4 RS out on the road is a bit like carrying a licenced gun around. ![]()
