PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN GT4 RS

"Mhe Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is one of the marque's most thrilling and special GTs yet."

So read the first line of our five-star road test verdict on the GT4 RS, and given that Porsche's GT model history has not been short of thrilling or special cars, that's no small compliment.

Much of the special feeling comes from the car's engine. There are those of us at Autocar who stood around a computer monitor listening again and again to the sound it made as road test editor Matt Saunders took it to the redline during his video first drive. It had to be heard to be believed, he said. But only when the car arrived for full testing with us in the UK did we realise how right he was.
