Prototype and where the GT road car fits in

The little sports car shown here is based on the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket, which is a especially track‑focused version of the 718 family. The 718 generation is internally called 982 and was produced from 2016–2024. The car builds on the GT concept of the previous 981 Cayman but expands it with an RS variant for the first time. Development of the GT models is traditionally led at Porsche by the team around engineer Andreas Preuninger, while the 718 design was overseen by Michael Mauer. At the heart of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket is a naturally aspirated 4.0‑liter six‑cylinder boxer engine (4.0 liters = about 244 cubic inches). It puts out 368 kW (about 494 hp) and 500 PS at up to 9,000 rpm and delivers 450 Nm of torque (about 332 lb‑ft). Power goes through a 7‑speed PDK with short ratios only. That yields a factory 0–100 km/h time of 3.4 s (0–62 mph) and a top speed of 315 km/h (about 196 mph). An officially recorded Nordschleife lap of 7:09.3 on the 20.832‑km (12.94‑mile) layout stresses the car’s track focus. The suspension uses uniball joints at key points, a widened track, an adaptive PASM sport setup and an RS‑specific aero package with a large swan‑neck‑mounted rear wing. Optional were the Porsche Ceramic Composite Brakes (PCCB) with 410 mm (about 16.1 in) discs up front and 390 mm (about 15.4 in) discs at the rear.

Weissach package and tech details of the road car

The Weissach package for the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket cuts weight and adds more track‑ready bits. Visible CFK parts on the hood, air intakes, mirrors and the wing endplates are typical. You also get titanium exhaust tips with stamped logos and Race‑Tex trim inside; in some markets a titanium roll cage was optional. The Weissach wheels are forged lightweights; optionally there were center‑lock 20‑inch magnesium Weissach wheels from Porsche that drop unsprung mass even further. A standout detail on the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket is the swapped rear side panels where large ducts now feed the airbox directly. NACA ducts, hood vents and the sculpted front splitter improve downforce and cooling. The mix of aero, low weight and that high‑revving engine is what gives the car its punch. As a predecessor in spirit you can point to the 981 Cayman GT4; there wasn’t an RS version there, so the 982 GT4 RS takes its own place in the lineup.

The Norev model in Play‑X’s collection

The model shown is a 1/18 scale from Norev and lives in the collection of the modeler “Play‑X”. It’s a well‑executed diecast model that captures the shape of the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket nicely. The photos show blue center‑lock wheels that recall the optional 20‑inch magnesium Weissach wheels from Porsche. You can clearly see the ventilated brake discs and the multi‑piece look of the calipers. The body is painted in a light gray‑beige tone that matches Porsche’s “Kreide/Chalk” color. The hood is finished in a black visible‑carbon look, complete with the distinctive vents. Up front there’s a deep splitter; side fins and the large intakes ahead of the rear wheels are crisply shaped. A subtle “GT4 RS” script sits on the flank. The clear headlight housings, DRL graphics and bumper air channels are finely detailed.From the side the tiny Cayman shows the flat roofline, short overhangs and the trademark rising rear fenders. At the rear — only partly visible in the pics — the swan‑neck wing with its endplates is suggested. The interior is dark and restrained; you can spot shells and the center console as separate parts. Door gaps, the fuel cap relief and intake inserts are neatly done. The Play‑X diorama is a workshop scene with tool carts, shelves and a small figure, which helps show the scale and gives the model a garage vibe.

Collector focus, build quality and visible paintwork

For collectors it matters that this is a 1/18 scale Norev diecast — the metal build gives a good weighty feel and realistic surface look. The paint is even without visible orange peel; trim and logos are crisply printed. The contrast between the light base color and the dark accents — black intakes, visible carbon hood and the blue center‑lock wheels — nails the track look without going overboard. Details like printed window surrounds, realistic single‑piece brake visuals and flush clear lights underline the careful execution. If you like variety, the real cars came in different color combos, with yellow PCCB calipers or different wheels; this Play‑X example, though, leans into a track aesthetic with the blue rims. The car’s low stance and wide track make it a strong display piece, while the subtle “GT4 RS” decals and believable carbon prints keep it authentic. If you want to add an RS version of the 718 to your collection, this model is a clear and recognizable representation — it shows the technical signs (PDK layout, big intakes, swan‑neck wing) that tie it back to the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS mit Weissach-Paket.
