New Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Frequently Asked Questions

What transmission is the New 718 Cayman GT4 RS paired with?

The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS is equipped with a lightning-fast 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission, delivering an exhilarating and seamless driving experience. This dual-clutch system allows for incredibly quick gear changes without interrupting power delivery, making it ideal for both track performance and spirited road driving. Unlike a traditional manual, the PDK anticipates gear shifts and executes them with precision, enhancing acceleration and responsiveness. In the GT4 RS, this transmission is specifically calibrated for high-performance demands, with shorter gear ratios that keep the engine in its optimal power band. The result is blistering straight-line speed, sharper throttle response, and a level of control that heightens driver engagement. Paddle shifters on the steering wheel add to the race-inspired feel, while automatic mode ensures ease of use in everyday driving. Altogether, the 7-speed PDK transforms the GT4 RS into a focused, driver-centric machine built to dominate the corners and the straights.

What are the benefits of the Porsche Active Suspension Management?

Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) enhances both comfort and performance by automatically adjusting the damping force on each wheel based on road conditions and driving style. This intelligent system offers a perfect balance between agility and ride comfort, making it ideal for everyday driving and spirited performance alike. In Sport mode, PASM firms up the suspension for improved handling and reduced body roll, while in Normal mode, it softens the ride for a smoother experience. Whether you're navigating tight corners or cruising on the highway, PASM adapts in real time to provide optimal traction, stability, and control.

What is Porsche Torque Vectoring?

Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV) is a performance-enhancing system that brings sharper handling and improved stability to the new 718 Cayman GT4 RS. By selectively applying braking force to the rear wheels during cornering, PTV helps to distribute torque more effectively and improve turn-in response. This allows the GT4 RS to corner with greater precision, especially at high speeds or on challenging road surfaces. Paired with a mechanical rear differential lock, PTV ensures optimal traction and control, even under hard acceleration out of bends. The result is a more connected and confident driving experience, giving the driver a greater sense of control and performance in every corner.
