The GT4 RS is a spectacular car but it does have its flaws. For starters, it’s very difficult to get hold of one and for all its engagement, it just lacked a manual transmission. This is RPM Technik’s solution: The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 MR.

How has RPM Technik improved on the already fantastic GT4? Here’s how:
- MR kit by Manthey-Racing
- Upgraded brakes
- New exhaust
- Shorter ratios for the MANUAL gearbox

Why are the shorter ratios in the manual gearbox a much welcomed modification?
Because the standard GT4’s ratios are so tall that the gears rarely need changing. So rarely, that you could reach motorway speeds in second gear! This may sound convenient if you don’t like rowing your own gears but those that buy the manuals want more engagement so it defeats the point. To Porsche’s credit, the lofty ratios are more of a workaround to the ever stricter emissions regulations.

If you’ve never hear of Manthey-Racing, they have been responsible for running Works Porsche Motorsport GT teams since 2013. Porsche now owns 51% of the company, so these road car upgrades have the blessing of the Stuttgart mothership.
