Magazine Extras:
The new 718 Cayman GT4 RS is the most eagerly awaited new Porsche for many years. To find out exactly what kind of animal we’re dealing with, we took charge of a GT4 RS on both road and track. You’ll find our verdict in this very issue of the world’s best-selling monthly Porsche magazine. We also hit the Monte Carlo Rally’s Col de Turini Alpine stage in order to put the new Macan T’s chassis dynamics to the test. This fresh addition to the Macan line-up might not be making use of a V6, but with the cost of motoring currently spiralling northward, it’s difficult to ignore how much sense the sharp, well-dressed, two-litre, T-badged crossover SUV makes right now. Talking of vehicle styling, our cover car is a 993 Carrera treated to a wealth of RS-beating updates by Roock Racing, creators of the lightest-ever 993 GT2. The jaw-dropping 3.8-litre restomod is owned by none other than Ian Callum, one of the world’s most celebrated automotive stylists, responsible for some of the best-loved modern Aston Martins and Jaguars. That his go-to ride is a modified air-cooled 911 was a story we couldn’t ignore. Enjoy the magazine.
Issue Summary:
Tried and tested on road and track, the astonishing 718 Cayman GT4 RS delivers 493bhp from its GT3-sourced flat-six, but is it enough to knock the 911 from its perch? We find out.

NEW TRICKS - The hugely anticipated 718 Cayman GT4 RS is here, but is it enough to make you reconsider the purchase of a new 911 GT3? We get behind the wheel and find out.
MATTER OF TIME - Widely associated with Steve McQueen and the golden era of sports car racing, the Heuer Monaco chronograph is a firm favourite among Porsche fans, but exactly how did the King of Cool end up wearing the square-cased self-winder during filming of his classic motorsport flick, Le Mans? As we discover, the story isn’t as straightforward as you might think.
