Porsche Dealer Suggests The Existence of a 4.0-Liter Cayman GT4 RS

From Road & Track

Last month we heard a rumor a refreshed Porsche Cayman GT4 is coming, equipped with a sizable 4.0-liter six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine to keep up with the new turbocharged 718 models. Now, it seems a Porsche dealer in Australia is corroborating that rumor, according to a post on its Instagram account suggesting the existence of a 4.0-liter GT4 "RS."

This weekend, CarAdvice caught a post-which has since been deleted-from Porsche Centre of Brisbane's Instagram account with a picture of what looks to be a current GT4 and the caption, "Due to high demand, a GT4 RS is on its way-with more power and a 4.0L flat-six engine, this limited model will turn heads."

This post lines up with what we heard earlier regarding the updated GT4, but could have just has easily been an impatient dealer looking to strum up some hype for a model that may not even exist.

There is however, some precedent here. The inclusion of "RS" in Porsche GT car nomenclature has been used in the past with the previous- and current-generation 911 models in their transition from regular GT2 to GT2 RS to symbolize an even greater focus in track-worthiness-so it could be the same for the GT4.

We'll just have to wait until Geneva in March to find out for sure.
