It's very nice with informative text, no talking, trying out different settings, binaural, and long sequences which gets the feeling across of what it would actually be like.
11:52 man.... this is in Tustin CA. Love the video, but he chose to take a long flat toll road here instead of the adjacent Santiago Canyon, one of the best driving canyons in Orange County. All he had to do was stay left lane. My soul aches
Thanks for taking me along for the ride. The first one of these where you did what I would have done were I to test drive one of these. Again, Thanks. Achim
The GTS has 20 mm lowered suspension; have you scraped bottom on any speed humps yet? Steep incline accesses to businesses seem to be everywhere on city streets now. Taking all those at an angle may be the answer. The factory offers a 10 mm raised option (from the -20 mm) at no cost for those ordering a build.
Did you find the ground clearance to be an issue? I see you approaching the speed bump and parking lot at an angle (slight not too much effort). I’m waiting for my allocation for the same gts 4.0 and debating on whether I should keep the standard SPASM suspension or choose the PASM which sits 10 mm higher than the SPASM.
I found a way around every obstacle. If you know you're going to reach steep driveways or huge bumps you can't avoid on your daily drive routes, maybe go with PASM. Otherwise, you should be just fine.
Hi my friend, nice racing car from Porsche, I like the car’s acceleration and speed and the 0-60 mph test was accelerating at a speed of 60 mph on a given seconds “I don’t know how much seconds”. Nice car. Your driving was interesting and great.
Oh man, should have taken Silverado Canyon RD!!! It would have been much better than a cruise down the toll roads...:( After selling my c6z06 i am looking at a 718 gts or gt4 with a stick but I see what people mean about the gearing. You won't be rowing too many gears on most roads because you will blast past the speed limits. Hmmm....It's a $100g+ drop so I want to make sure it's the right move. Beautiful car though, no doubt...and a stick which is almost impossible to find today!!! Thanks for the video...:)
Thanks! Trees (sigh ...) on the side of many roads I've seen you drive the GTS 4,0 on (like 1 week ago), not just palms or cactus; but you can have CA. I'll stay in AZ. Btw, I'll guess your exhaust sound is picked up with a mic outside on the rear - z'at correct?
I gotta ask a question I'm making buying decision here, since you drove both GTS 4.0 and Evora which felt more special to drive? Which you liked more and wanted to drive more? I'm not buying Evora but Emira...... Came from 981 GTS, alot of guys told me Lotus are more fun to drive hence decided for Lotus, but to me 981 GTS so far best car I have ever owned, even better than Ferrari 458 I owned.... So I would love to take your opinion which felt more special to you, I'm gonna daily Emira btw!
Oooh that is tough. The Evora GT was such a treat in tight corners and it got WAY more attention, but the GTS 4.0 soundtrack and interior was far superior. If I was going to drive the car more than once per week, I'd take the GTS.
Perhaps you could help me out, I'm saving for the midlife crisis.... The 458 is my dream car but it ain't happening for budget reasons. In what way was the 981 gts better? Do you rate the 718 gts 4.0 even higher? I'm stuck with the following shortlist, I'm in the uk and the weather and roads aren't great. It won't be a daily commute but it will be my go to car, 2-4 drives pw. Lotus emira- still waiting to see what the reviews are like. I'm sure it will have a better interior but still won't have the build quality of audi/porsche. Will have to wait for 3-4 for a few used examples or the base model...long wait. 981 s/gts- still commands a premium, prefer the front but not the rear vs the 718. Not really a discount to the 718. 718 gts 4.0, the daddy, can't go wrong but same as the lotus. It will be years away until supply catches up with demand and used cars come down. Audi TTRS- quick and 4wd is perfect for the UK, unique 5cl. although I give up rear wheel fun and balance. I won't be tracking and I'm not sure I'll ever push it to feel the oversteer. Same will all, I'll never deliberately power slide. 718 2.5T, ok, the sound isn't there but everything else is. In the UK I think it will hold up well but discounts maybe had as the gts 4.0 is here. Same with the amg emira, the Turbo will have the usable torque and more economical setup/lower tax. Any thoughts welcome...
@@Jay-xr3sb I personally loved 981 Cayman GTS due to having very charactful engine, it had more character for me than 458, as for 718 GTS 4.0, I drove one recently tbh, I found out that it's better in every way except for engine sound compared to 981.. so depends how you value engine sound, when looking at their prices I will go for 981 GTS to save money and it will offer 90% of 718 GTS experience + better sound. As for 458, if you don't have the money you won't enjoy it cause it's supercar, people tend to be careful and scared driving them for 2 reasons: damage + high mileage resale value...... So you end up having a car becoming a hassle than enjoyment, but if you have the money absolutely it's a blast to drive
Porsche*. And, this is the near top trim GTS 4.0, not the base Cayman. That Cayman is around $60,500. Also, this must have options to add. It starts at $87K, this one is at $94,200.
Thank god this video was of an automatic transmission 718. Couldn’t stomach the povs of the inferior transmission 718s. It’s such a shame that such capable and expensive cars are wasted with inferior technology.

11:52 - Even with PDK 2nd gear is good for 74mph

Not cool, right?

This car is insanely quick.

The greatest cars testers of all time ❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you! 👍😁

AGREED
This car needs some Autobahn!

Great sports car somehow the best in its segment

If you take things at an angle, you’re going to be just fine.
Amazing vid bro keep up the good work
Thank you! Will do!

Great video milesperhr
I’ve been waiting for another sports car video
@MilesPerHr Invest what I’m confused
Sorry, that is someone impersonating me.
@@MilesPerHr ok I was confused when his name was different
Stunning car. Another to add to the small list im making lol
Nice drive
how are people getting GTS stitching in seats without GTS package (assuming since no carbon fiber trim)

Thank you!

How does this compare with the turbo 4 cylinder base cayman in terms of value?
I just don't love the 4 cylinder character, so I wouldn't consider it, personally. The GTS isn't cheap, but it's worth saving up IMO

Finally 👍
I more thing my friend, buddy you know the latest model C-Class car. I wanna see a POV and walk around on the latest (2022) model C-Class.
That’s someone impersonating me, sorry.
I’ll see what I can do!
Happy Fourth of July to everyone reading this!
Is the dash vinyl or plastic in this one?
Do car manufacturers even use vinyl anymore?
Yes all the time. Unless your getting an 100k car then besides the seats most of the time it is vinyl
If I am 1.88, can I drive?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥😍
you shld test drive a porsche boxster
Muy genial
Almost 100,000$ for an entry level sports car from porche 🤯
this is the GTS version, the regular Cayman starts at $60k
Porsche*.
And, this is the near top trim GTS 4.0, not the base Cayman. That Cayman is around $60,500.
Also, this must have options to add. It starts at $87K, this one is at $94,200.
Audi TT-RS review
I’ll see what I can do!
First thing that I would change on this car would be the fckin start/stop, horrible thing
AT least you have the option to turn it off! I have it on my Lincoln but you have to jump a couple hoops every time you get in the car to turn it off!
Thank god this video was of an automatic transmission 718. Couldn’t stomach the povs of the inferior transmission 718s. It’s such a shame that such capable and expensive cars are wasted with inferior technology.
PDKs are nice but in the end they are automatics - like you’d find in a truck. Sports cars should be manuals.
@@Encourageable if i spend 6 figures on a sports car i want the best performance
@@sublimesense7761 just get a model 3 performance then
only 400hp?
Specs are listed in the description 👍😁
Only? Thats more than the base 911 which costs a lot more in my country.
@@ergonaut940 yeah only, i was expecting more
@@xabirodriguezzz why? The cayman/boxster sits below the 911. Yet this one has more power than the base 911.
power to weight.....that's plenty!!!
Can you drive the 2021 Porsche Carrera 4s pls 😃
Now that's a throaty flat six
Love this channel!
nice review and nice sound
Cheers from Tustin, CA. Subbed.
🙏
Perfect music for the sound test! I think the system handles the sound range very nicely from the lows to the highs.
Boxster exactly the same, but with wind in the hair soft top whenever you want it.
I just purchased mine at Porsche South Orlando. It’s perfect
Right on! Enjoy it 😊
Manual or PDK?
@@rdadams7507 PDK
@@itguru2037 Thanks! I'm planning to order one when allocations start to open up again. I really can't decide if I want a PDK or Manual.
@@rdadams7507 I have had both. The manual is too long in the gears. The PDK is quicker and I can drink a tea while I’m driving. 😂
Perfect car... 🙃
Yeah Lets ago!!!! Can you do superbikes too?
I don’t ride bikes anymore. I was hit by a drunk driver a few years ago. Sorry!
Do you think this car needs a manual? Or did you have the same amount of fun with the pdk.
I'd absolutely go with the manual for that extra engagement. PDK is amazing, but rowing your own gears is just more fun!
So boring to watch
