The 2022 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS features its big brother’s powerplant and a big price tag, but breathtaking performance.

The first-ever ‘RS’ Cayman stuns its younger brother the standard GT4 with a massive 23.6-second improvement across the Green Hell.

Though it may seem minor, damage underneath the battered exterior was so severe that this Nürburgring taxi was written off entirely. 

As it stands, 718 Cayman is the least expensive new Porsche sportscar you can buy today but in many ways, it is also the best.

Faulty connecting rods in the 4.0-liter flat-six found in the Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder cause Porsche to recall 2021 models.

Manthey-Racing has produced some of the most track-ready versions of Porsche models, and the company’s latest 718 Cayman GT4 MR model continues its glorious legacy.

On the list of pros, the Spyder and GT4 hit almost every box, but when the tiniest problem makes the biggest impact, tread lightly.
