Watch: Porsche GT4 RS tested on road and track

If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if Porsche stuffed the stupendous 4.0-litre, naturally aspirated flat-six from the latest 911 GT3 into the back of its mid-engined baby-brother, the Cayman… the GT4 RS is your answer.

Was it worth the gamble? Top Gear magazine’s editor Jack Rix strapped himself in on road and track to find out.
