Context
Why does it matter?
The Cayman GT4 RS is the flagship performance model of Porche's 718 range. Its good looks and excellent performance should draw out buyers who are willing to spend a pretty penny for exclusivity. Once the mid-engine sportscar makes its way to India, the competition in the luxury four-wheeler segment will increase to a great extent. It should arrive here as a completely built unit.
