The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the Porsche Motorsport product we’ve been waiting for, and putting it simply, it’s absolutely been worth the wait -
Porsche’s mastery of its PASM damping means that while it feels taut and stable, it’s rarely crashy or uncomfortable on well surfaced roads. On the more challenging surfaces we encountered during, though, its setup proved to be less than ideal, with seemingly insignificant ruts and bumps often sending the rear axle airborne.
The outright level of grip is predictably very high, but it’s the balance of the car that really breeds confidence. As with all 718s, you can sense the engine is tucked up to the bulkhead right behind you, and mounted low, because the car has that pure mid-engined feel where it moves of-a-piece without any obvious inertia or weight to manage. Actually loosening the tyres’ grip in the dry takes some provocation, not because the engine is short on grunt, but because the RS wants to find drive.
Do I miss the manual gearbox? Well, while I’ll always naturally default to the idea of a manual, the downshifts in this PDK have to be experienced to be believed. They come not so much with a blip, rather a spit or crack, and it seems inconceivable that the crankshaft can spin up and down that quickly. It becomes an integral part of the driving experience, and while I’m sure a manual would bring other qualities into play, I never find myself pining for an extra pedal.
