Porsche has a new, eye-wateringly expensive track package for the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. As if the 493-horsepower track-day special wasn't already nutty enough, this new package was put together based on the kit that was fitted to the car that carved more than six seconds off the stock GT4 RS's 'Ring time in the hands of Porsche pro driver Jörg Bergmeister.

Let's make one thing clear: by itself, the 718 GT4 RS is already a monster. Lapping the Nordschleife in under 7:10 is plenty impressive in its own right. But of course, that wasn't good enough for Porsche. Or to put it another way, the company certainly doesn't stand to lose any sales by offering an even faster car, so why not do it? Cost certainly isn't a factor for its customers, who seem content to hoover up any and every special, limited or otherwise non-standard model Porsche can crank out. Even with a $53,946 price tag, we expect this bundle will find no shortage of customers.
