Porsche has something special for those who want to push their 718 Cayman GT4 RS to the limit on the track. It’s a pricey upgrade, but it promises to make an already powerful car even faster. This new package is inspired by the modifications made to a car that set a blazing fast lap time at the famous Nürburgring racetrack, shaving off more than six seconds from the stock GT4 RS’s time.
Now, let’s talk about the 718 GT4 RS itself. It’s no slouch, with its ability to lap the Nürburgring in under 7 minutes and 10 seconds. But for Porsche, good is never enough. They’ve created this upgrade package to satisfy those who want even more speed and performance from their cars. And for Porsche, it’s a smart move – their customers are willing to pay for these enhancements.
For a hefty price, you can get your hands on this track-focused package. It includes a fully adjustable coilover suspension system that’s been revamped for better performance. The front springs are much stiffer, making the car handle even better on the track. Plus, there are aerodynamic improvements that nearly double the downforce at high speeds, along with stronger steel brake lines.
If you’re willing to spend a little more, you can add on an extra aerodynamic package. This includes carbon fiber replacements for the front fender louvers and a larger rear gurney flap for the spoiler. These upgrades not only look cool but also increase the car’s downforce on the rear axle by another 4%.
If you’re eager to try out these upgrades, you’re in luck. Porsche’s U.S. Experience Centers in Atlanta and Los Angeles will let you test drive a 718 equipped with the new suspension system. And if you’re already a proud owner of a GT4 RS, you can have the kit installed on your car, whether you’ve just bought it or you’ve been enjoying it for a while. So, if you’re ready to take your GT4 RS to the next level, Porsche has you covered.
