Yes, RS. Coming up according to Carscoops:

This car will be spectacular!

Now we're talkin' turkey! Please Porsche, let this car loose.

 

[don]

With PDK, aero and 444 HP (450 PS / 330 kW) it will really lift the game on this platform.

I know they would be ridiculous for the street, but I love the center-lock wheels.

I'm curious. I've heard they are horrible to work with. Is there a reason you love them other than aesthetics?
TIA

Anyone besides me see this as the real reason for the 4.0 F6?

Aesthetics only. I have two other cars with center-lock (wire) wheels. I love the look.

Thank you for the reply. I do agree that they look very nice, particularly the old wire wheels.
How often do they old wheels need trying?

…….How often do they old wheels need trying?

I assume you mean truing?

I have a home-made fixture and I check my MGB wire wheels (14") every couple of years. I only drive it about 500 miles a year. Once they have some miles on them, they rarely seem to change.
I checked my MG Midget wires (13") about five years ago but I rarely drive it so it not really as much of an issue.

My friends with the taller, skinny wire wheels (like on MG-TCs) must watch them more carefully especially if they are racing them.
What I'd love for my MGB is the steel Dunlop knock-off wheels (see photo). I think they are the Bee's Knees.

Again, this is just all for looks.
Regular cast aluminum wheels (like the Panasports I have on my MG race car) are much stronger and better.

**** auto-correct. Yes, trueing...
Thank you.

Nice to see the 718 platform elevated to another status to maybe compete with this.

 

[GTS18BGTS]

You have to admit that 2RS looks pretty badazz

 

[chester7]

Totally bada$$! Wow! Despite my love of bright colors, I think black is perfect for this beast. If true, the PDK as the only transmission further indicates our 6MT may not be able to handle a large jump in power.

Saw some videos on YT.
It's worth to check the exhaust note.

2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS spy shots and video: Development on the final track

Porsche is about to go beyond the 414-hp 718 Cayman GT4 with an RS version that could borrow liberally from the 911 GT3.

I have a totally irrational lust for a GT4 RS. It's like I'm a kid again and want to hang posters of it on my bedroom walls. It won't be practical, it will be barely tolerable on all but the most perfect of roads, it will be super expensive with ADM and perceived exclusivity, and I don't have room in my garage or my budget for the car.

That said, I STILL want one.
