Porsche Philippines Brings In 2024 Cayman GT4 RS, 718 Spyder RS


For the true Porsche enthusiast, the 2024 lineup brings two standout models that offer a unique blend of power, design, driving dynamics, rooted in the brand’s commitment to exhilarating performance and precision engineering: the 718 Cayman GT4 RS and the 718 Boxster Spyder RS.

The 2024 718 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS is designed for those who live and breathe motorsport, delivering a raw, adrenaline-pumping experience that is reminiscent of a racing car. With its high-revving engine and precision handling, it captures the essence of track performance while being perfectly suited for the road. This car is not just about speed. It’s about the visceral experience of driving a machine that feels like it’s straight off the racetrack.

The 718 Cayman GT4 RS embodies Porsche’s racing DNA, boasting a high-revving 500 horsepower engine. This powerhouse enables the GT4 RS to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, with a top speed of 315 km/h. Its aerodynamic design includes a fixed rear wing with a swan-neck attachment and a CFRP front bonnet, all contributing to its exceptional performance.



The Cayman GT4 RS can be further enhanced with the Weissach Package, which adds magnesium wheels, carbon-weave exterior components, and titanium exhaust tailpipes. For those seeking additional track-focused capabilities, the Weissach Package includes a titanium roll cage and the Club Sport Package. Alternatively, the Weissach Package can be chosen without the roll cage while retaining its performance-enhancing features.

Inside, the Cayman GT4 RS offers a luxurious yet race-oriented environment with leather and Race-Tex finishes, white Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur dials, and the option for a Club Sport Package. The model also features the Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK), Chrono Package, and a high-fidelity Bose Surround Sound System.


But if your idea of a perfect drive is more about a thrilling journey to a sophisticated getaway, then the 2024 Porsche Boxster Spyder RS might be the one for you. It’s a car designed for those who crave adventure with a touch of elegance, combining open-top freedom with refined engineering, embracing both adventure and elegance in every drive. The Boxster Spyder RS is a car that demands a bit more planning—definitely not your everyday ride. This car is perfect for the purist who values quality over quantity and enjoys the journey just as much as the destination.

At the forefront of open-top driving excellence, the 718 Boxster Spyder RS stands out with its formidable 500 horsepower naturally aspirated engine, a powertrain inherited from the iconic 911 GT3. This engine propels the Spyder RS from 0 to 100 km/h in a blistering 3.4 seconds, reaching a top speed of 308 km/h. Weighing in at just 1,410 kg, this roadster’s lightweight construction enhances agility and responsiveness, making every drive an exhilarating experience.

The Spyder RS is engineered with advanced aerodynamics, featuring a CFRP front bonnet and a distinctive ducktail rear design that optimizes downforce. The sports suspension system, equipped with Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) and a mechanical limited-slip differential, ensures exceptional handling and ride quality. Inside, the race-inspired interior showcases lightweight CFRP bucket seats, extensive leather and Race-Tex materials, and distinctive white Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur instrument dials, including a Chrono stopwatch.



For those who prefer a purist approach to driving, this model offers a more intimate connection with the road, enhanced by Porsche's signature craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Both the 718 Boxster Spyder RS and the 718 Cayman GT4 RS exemplify Porsche’s dedication to high-performance engineering and bespoke luxury. Whether you prefer the open-air thrill of the Spyder RS or the track-ready precision of the Cayman GT4 RS, these models deliver an unmatched driving experience that underscores Porsche’s passion for automotive excellence.
