Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Track Drive Review | Instant classic:
-inspired front fenders. On the aerodynamic front, enhancements like the adjustable front diffuser and swan neck rear wing also provide up to 25% more downforce than the standard GT4 at 125 mph.
With relatively short straights and tight corners, Streets of Willow tends to showcase a car’s chassis balance and contact patch more than anything else, but Porsche’s decision to run the track counter-clockwise threw an interesting curveball into the mix. After spending a lap getting re-acclimated while chasing Porsche factory driver Patrick Long in a 911 Turbo S, the pace quickly began to ramp up and it all started to make sense.
I generally like to handle swapping the cogs myself, but with the rapid changes in speed and direction on this course, I opted to let the PDK do its own thing for the first few sessions. With fast, seamless shifts and near-clairvoyant programming in PDK Sport mode, the transmission dutifully kept the engine in the meaty parts of the powerband at all times for maximum response.
