Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS On Ice

Late last year, Porsche introduced the fastest and most powerful Cayman, the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS. After showing its potential at the Nürburgring Nordschleife, this model did the same at the recently held GP Ice Race in Austria.

It is made of lightweight materials, which reduces the weight by 28 lbs compared to the GT4 model on which it is based. It is equipped with improved adjustable suspension, and optimized adaptive aerodynamics.

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is powered by a 4.0-liter flat six engine with 493 hp (368 kW) and 331 lb-ft (449 Nm) of torque. With a weight of 3,227-pound (1,464-kilogram) it reaches 62 mph in 3.4 seconds with a top speed of 196 mph (316 km / h). Power is transmitted to the rear wheels via a seven-speed double – clutch automatic transmission (PDK).

The fact that GT4 RS uses synthetic fuels, which reduced CO2 emissions, attracted the most attention of visitors. Porsche Board Member for Research and Development Michael Steiner said: “Different regions of the world are adopting electric mobility at varying speeds, meaning vehicles with combustion engines will remain on the road for decades to come.” For that reason, Porsche started building a factory for the production of eFuels. The factory will be built in Chile and is expected to produce around 130,000 liters of eFuels by the end of this year, which Porsche will primarily use in motorsport racing.

Porsche 911 Safari in final testing

As we announced earlier, Porsche is intensively testing the new 911 Safari model. After testing at the Nürburgring, the car passes the final winter test, but now with less camouflage.

Spy photos show that the car has a slightly higher suspension than the Carrera 4 GTS on which it is based. The new front bumper, revised air intakes and fixed rear wing are just some of the novelties that the 911 Safari has. At the rear there are round exhaust pipes and a one-piece light bar under the rear wing. What the interior will look like is not known.

It is already known that the Porsche 911 Safari is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbocharged boxer 6 engine with 473 hp (348 kW) and 420 lb-ft (570 Nm) of torque. Power is transmitted to all wheels via a 7-speed manual transmission or an 8-speed dual-clutch PDK. It is mounted on 20-inch aluminum rims wrapped in Pirelli tires.

There are still many questions about the specifications of the Porsche 911 Safari. It is unknown at this time when it will be introduced or when mass production could begin, as well as how much it will cost.
