GOAT HUNT
Car India|March 2023
One of these GT cars is Porsche's Greatest Of All Time. But is it the wild new 718 Cayman GT4 RS? Or the legendary 911 GT3 RS 4.0?

GOAT HUNT

ISIT THE YORKSHIRE SEASIDE TOWN OF WHITBY and you will see signs in nearly every fish and chip shop there: 'Voted Best Fish and Chips in the World 2019!' one will say. 'Best in the World 2018!' the next will boast. 'Best Fish and Chips in the UK!'; 'Winner, Best in Europe 2020!'; 'Best in Whitby!'; 'Best in Yorkshire!!!'. Basically, everyone in town has won something. Accolades are as cheap as chips.

Supercars are like that: there is always the fastest, the most expensive, the winner of this group test, the winner of that award. It is easy to become jaded by the barrage of plaudits and praise.

But every once in a while a car comes along that really stands out-one that garners such incredible reviews that it makes you sit up and pay attention. The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS is one of those cars: at its international launch back in March, the press went nuts for the new RS. 'The stuff of dreams', one reviewer gushed. One of the all-time greats!' wrote another. The best car I've ever driven', raved one experienced writer. Another waxed, "This could be the greatest driver's car Porsche has ever built'.

Wow. This is not your basic 'Best in Yorkshire' stuff; this is next-level religious zeal. I mean, either the journalists all lost their minds driving from the airport in Nissan Leaf rental cars or, maybe, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS really is the best sports car in the world right now? (By the way, I am just going to refer to it as "the 718" from now on, because typing the full name is making my fingers hurt.)
