The new Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS - the fixed rear wing with gooseneck connection
Source: AutoMotoTV (Glomex)
The new, fixed rear wing with gooseneck connection and aluminum wing supports makes a striking difference to the exterior design. This particularly efficient wing principle is derived from the Porsche 911 RSR GT race car and found its way into a Porsche production vehicle for the first time in the 911 GT3. In combination with the body lowered by 30 millimeters compared to the 718 Cayman, the striking vents in the front wheel arches, the aerodynamically optimized underbody paneling followed by a rear diffuser, the multi-adjustable front diffuser and the new front lip with flow-around sideblades, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS generates 25 percent more downforce than the 718 Cayman GT4 in the performance setting reserved for use on racetracks. Modifications to the chassis also play their part in the increased performance. Ball joints tie the chassis particularly tightly to the body and ensure even more precise and direct handling. The adjustable suspension, which is unrestrictedly suitable for circuit driving, has been given RS-specific damper tuning and modified spring and stabilizer rates. The optionally available Weissach package gives the GT4 RS an even sportier appearance. The front lid, process air intakes, cooling air intake trims, airbox lid, exterior mirror upper shells and rear wing are finished in visible carbon. The titanium tailpipes are visually based on the exhaust system of the Porsche 935. The bolted roll cage at the rear is also made of titanium. The upper part of the dashboard in the interior is covered with Race-Tex. A large Porsche lettering is integrated into the rear window. With the Weissach package, 20-inch magnesium forged wheels can be ordered for an additional charge instead of the standard aluminum forged wheels."
