Collaborative Effort, Commemorative Car
There’s a new one-of-a-kind Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS making the rounds on social media and at Zandvoort, where it was on display during the Formula One weekend there. This latest unveiling is a joint venture including the likes of Porsche Netherlands, Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur, Porsche Sonderwunsch and Manthey.
Amicably referred to as “De Tulp”โor “The Tulip”, in Englishโthis GT4 RS is painted in an exclusive pastel orange finish as a nod to the country’s famous national sporting colorway. Other unique touches include orange accents on the bonnet naca ducts, rear wheel aero discs and lettering on the rear wing. Special De Tulp badging and Dutch national flag colors decorating the end plates, further reiterate the special nature of this build. The interior, as well, has special contrast stitching and door pulls in the same color.
De Tulp is also understood to be a send-off to the outgoing Cayman platformโwhich will officially end its production run by October of 2025โso naturally, Manthey were also heavily involved with this project. That means that De Tulp benefits from the full Manthey treatment, with extensive aerodynamic upgrades added to the equation. Porsche’s Weissach Package is also included, incorporating features such as a full Race-Tex interior and magnesium wheels to the build.
The lucky new owner of this distinctive GT4 RS will also procure a one-off Porsche Design chronograph and “tulip-themed” thermos in celebration of their purchase.
