    Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Completes Final Testing With Debut Next Month

    We would not exactly call the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS a well-kept secret but we can confirm we are outrageously excited to see this track-focused model in the flesh and hopefully get behind the wheel in the future.

    Today, Porsche announced that the new sports car is completing its final testing ahead of its debut sometime next month. They also provided photos of the range-topping model showing the typical RS elements we love so much.

    As expected, there is a very prominent looking spoiler and the front end, although quite simple looks even more aggressive.

    “During development, we gave the 718 Cayman GT4 RS everything that characterises a genuine RS: lightweight construction, more downforce, more power and, of course, an even higher level of responsiveness and feedback to driver inputs. The fantastic lap time of the Nordschleife is impressive proof of how clearly noticeable these improvements in driving dynamics are,” says Directors GT Model Line, Andreas Preuninger. “Our customers can look forward to a pure driver’s car that makes a thrilling driving experience an absolute priority.”

    As expected, this new creation is wicked fast on the track and it was confirmed with a 7:04.511 lap of the shorter Nürburgring-Nordschleife circuit. This is 23.6 seconds quicker than the already capable Cayman GT4 but it should be mentioned that Porsche modified the car for driver safety, adding a racing seat and Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 R tyres, though the tyres will be an available option.

    The powertrain remains a little mystery at the moment but we are expecting it to pack the 4.0-litre flat-six engine we know and love. In the GT4 it delivers 414 hp (308 kW) and 418 Nm (309 lb-ft), though it’s rumoured to make as much as 500 hp (372 kW) in the GT4 RS. The impressive lap time suggests the GT4 RS is packing a performance punch.

    “The 718 Cayman GT4 RS is an uncompromising driving machine. It feels as nimble as a go-kart on mountain roads, yet is impressively stable and well-balanced on the racetrack. Otherwise, such a lap time wouldn’t even be possible,” says Jörg Bergmeister the man behind the wheel for the Nürburgring lap.

    We cannot wait for this!

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
