The Porsche 911 GT3 and Cayman GT4 RS share the identical engine. The naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six makes extra energy within the larger GT3, although, because of a extra free-flowing exhaust. But extra isn’t at all times higher, as a brand new drag racing video between the 2 vehicles 

Porsche’s 4.0-liter engine cranks out 510 horsepower and 346 pound-feet (470 Newton-meters) of torque within the GT3. It makes a bit much less energy within the Cayman, delivering 500 hp and 331 lb-ft (450 Newton-meters) of twist. Both vehicles energy their rear wheels by seven-speed dual-clutch transmisison. The Cayman can be lighter than its larger sibling, weighing in at 3119 lbs (1,415 kilograms). The 911 is 99 lbs (20 kgs) heavier.  

The Cayman was faster off the road than the 911 within the first two of three drag races, sufficient to take two shut wins. It accomplished the quarter-mile race in 11.3 seconds, whereas the GT3 wanted 11.5. The 911 was slower off the road in each bouts, which seemingly hindered its possibilities of profitable. The third race

However, eliminating the launch didn’t assist the GT3, which misplaced each rolling races. The first one, with the vehicles of their comfiest settings, was just about a tie, however the Cayman clearly gapped the 911 within the second outing. The solely factor the 911 outshined the Cayman in was the brake take a look at, stopping in a shorter distance. 

The story shifts whenever you examine the 2 vehicles on a correct highway course. On the Nurburgring, the Cayman was solely 4.6 seconds slower than 911. Porsche claimed with the launch of the GT4 that it wanted 7 minutes and 4.5 seconds to lap the 12.944-mile monitor. The GT3 did it in 6 minutes and 59.9 seconds. So whereas the GT4 RS is perhaps faster in a straight line, on the subject of corners, the GT3 remains to be king.
