Yes, but the shape profile was changed with 991.2 that prevents them from cracking nearly as much.

At the LA Auto Show (19 – 28 November), Porsche will present the new flagship of the 718 family: the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The RS-typical features include more downforce and power than the GT4, while the weight has been reduced even further. The result is the most uncompromising and sharpest 718 ever – and a world of driving pleasure. It can complete a 20.6-kilometre lap of the Nürburgring Nordschleife in just 7:04.511 minutes. This is 23.6 seconds faster than a 718 Cayman Press Release 12 November 2021 Dr. Ing. h.c. F.

At the same time, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport racing version will celebrate its debut in Los Angeles. The Taycan electric sports car will be the focus of two world premieres: a new, incredibly dynamic, drive variant positioned between the Taycan 4S and the Taycan Turbo, and a third body style will be revealed to the public for the first time in California. The Panamera family is also gaining a new addition: Porsche is launching a special series with ultra-high-quality equipment: the Platinum Edition. The unveiling of all five world premieres will take place on 17 November at 05:00 (CET) with Oliver Blume, Chairman of the Executive Board at Porsche AG, Detlev von Platen, Member of the Executive Board for Sales and Marketing, and Frank-Steffen Walliser, Vice President Model Line 911 and 718. Ex-Formula One driver and Porsche brand ambassador Mark Webber will host the event. All of the action will be broadcast in English on www.NewsTV.porsche.com and on Facebook (www.facebook.com/porsche), YouTube (www.youtube.com/c/Porsche) and LinkedIn (www.linkedin.com/company/porsche-ag). Further information, film and photo material can be found in the Porsche Newsroom: newsroom.porsche.com Consumption and emission data determined in accordance with the measurement procedure required by law. As all new cars offered by Porsche are type-approved in accordance with the WLTP, the NEDC values are therefore derived from the WLTP values. Further information on the official fuel consumption and official, specific CO2 emissions of new passenger cars is available in the publication entitled “Guidelines on fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and power consumption of new passenger cars”, which is available free of charge from all sales outlets and from DAT.

4RS with GT4 dash? But seems revving to 8900 rpm.
And the gear is shorter than 992 GT3? 156@3rd compared to 166@3rd

Like he said in the comments, they use old parts for mules. And yeah, gearing seems shorter. Not a bad thing imo :-)

Callipers are the same… e.g. if you look at the MY22 GT4 PCCB calliper… the sticker on the back lists GT4 RS also.

Yep and if you saw his stories from that day there was a pic of the digital display on the right of that tach that showed GT4RS.

Is it just me or is Porsche being more open and revealing ahead of launches?
