- In this video I review the Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 and tell you why it is truly all you will ever need. So Porsche has recently been taking the leash off of the Cayman and giving it some serious trim levels. It first started with the GT4 and now, the RS. But there is another car that has the same engine as those two GT cars without having all the compromises, its called the GTS 4.0
So the GTS 4.0 takes the main component from those GT cars, the engine, and put its in a more discreet package with just a little less power and a lot more accessibility. The Cayman GTS 4.0 truly strikes and amazing balance between an exciting driving experience in a car that you can drive on a daily basis. Check out the video for all the details.

May be it is just me, but i prefer physical buttons over a screen. Always finger prints in screen and it looks messy. The click of a button is far better. I compare this with the early eighties when digital watches came. It is all back to analog watches, because they look so much better. Now i realize i am biased towards buttons as i own a 2019 macan s and 2015 boxster gts, but i love the sophisticated interior with buttons, almost looks like an airplane cockpit, so functional and clean. Like the review, i will get a gts 4.0, just a matter of time when pricing stabilizes and deliveries become normal again.
Great review....this is the best choice for a closed sports car in this price range. To get a significant increase in thrills, you have to spend twice as much money. I prefer the Boxster GTS 4.0 but I like convertibles!
boxster gts 4.0 yup me too induction plus exhaust together sheer bliss
Just a correction in alcantara. There is quite a lot of misinformation out there. Firstly, IT DOES NOT WEAR OUT QUICKLY. As leather wears it gets shiny with oils, as alcantara wears the oils cause the fibres to stick together. It’s simple, wipe with an interior cleaner and microfibre and it will look better than leather
Great review! You should edit the description of this video because the 4.0L engine is common between GTS 4.0 and GT4. The 4.0L engine in GT4RS is not the same engine as the GTS 4.0 and GT4. The engine in the GT4RS is the same as the one in 911 GT3.
Live in SoCal and just ordered the Boxter GTS 4.0 with the agate grey which is amazing after ceramic coat, and doing the full black leather with GT Silver stitching and seatbelt for accents on the interior, and of course, manual transmission. Will be beautiful and fully agree with the other points. Engine and handling are amazing and this will be a keeper as last of its kind.
Awesome spec! Driving with the top down and 4.0 is an amazing combo! Did you by chance order it from Porsche Downtown LA?
@@DriveSteady No I did not, a long time relationship with another SoCal dealer. Can't wait for this beauty and May can't come fast enough!
Exhaust note at the beginning of your drive sounded weird (maybe it’s a microphone issue). Mine sounds better when I push it. I don’t know if you noticed but it sounded like an air leak within the exhaust pipes which is surprising considering it’s a new car. Anyways, good review and I just love driving my Boxster GTS 4.0, one of best driver’s car available today.
Do you have an extra ticking sound in your 4,0? Look at my comment above. I would be happy to know your comment.
@@jyriwirtanen1344 Its the exhaust valves which open/close constantly at low RPM even if your car is in sport or sport+ modes. The clicking is the metallic friction of the valves in fast open/close movement when passing through a specific engine RPM. If you want to keep them fully open at any RPM range, you need to install a valve controller designed by Cargraphic. Some Porsche dealers accept to install it for you because the clicking noise is quite annoying (it will not void your warranty). Hope this helps.
I love how basic the interior is. I wouldn't change a thing on this car, it's perfect. In addition to the seating all the key touch points are leather (i.e. steering wheel, shift knob, door pull handles, arm rests & center console arm rest). Full leather would cost another $2K and worth every penny if one is so inclined.
It is sorely missing the GTS pkg with carbon fiber trim, red stitching, and red gauges.
2 days ago I specced my GTS 4.0 and I didn't go for full leather interior because of the fact how it looks over time, dashboards looks just bad after sun abuse and stitches are all over the place.
@pocwiczcycu interesting I didn't know this was an issue
@@DriveSteady just look up old Ferrari’s or Corvette’s dashboards to see how bad can it get. I drove couple Porsches with new leather dashboards and it looks stunning I’ll admit but that’s only at the beginning and I plan to keep mine for long time so I wouldn’t want to deal with restoration of dashboard leather that includes taking off windshield.
Just took mine out of winter storage 2 days ago. 2022 Cayman GTS 4.0 in chalk with a manual. Still a little cold here in NJ though. Curious: Would you recommend any mods like: exhaust, window tint, short shifter, ECU tune? Or would you just keep it stock if you owned one?
Chalk is one of my favorite colors in Porsche offering! I haven't driven a manual but I think the exhaust sounds excellent stock. I personally would keep it stock
I would add the PSE and tint windows only. Keeping it stock. The PSE will give you a sound you won’t regret.
I have a 718 GT4 in chalk with a manual gearbox as well. It’s unbelievable and I’m very happy with the stock exhaust. You can’t get a lot more grunt from a NA motor unlike a turbo so for me I am not forking over the money for a tune and a better flowing exhaust/intake combo.
Love this car. On a list to get one. Up to two years wait (who knows if they will still make them in two years).
BTW if a front trunk is a”frunk “ why isn’t a rear trunk a “runk “😜
🤣

Couldn’t you buy a used one?
Yup. New one with my spec, about $109k. Used one with 5000 miles and someone else’s spec, $125k. Doesn’t seem right
Did you have to put a deposit down?
6:06-6:30 listen to the sound! There is an extra ticking sound in addition to the normal engine sounds. I have Boxter GTS 4,0 and same little bit disturbing sound since I bought it. Where does it come from? It goes away when you dont have AC on.
Its the exhaust valves which open/close constantly at low RPM even if your car is in sport or sport+ modes. The clicking is the metallic friction of the valves in fast open/close movement when passing through a specific engine RPM (noise reduction regulation purposes). If you want to keep them fully open at any RPM range, you need to install a valve controller designed by Cargraphic. Some Porsche dealers accept to install it for you because the clicking noise is quite annoying (it will not void your warranty). Hope this helps.
Huh? The exhaust valves do not open and close at a high frequency like you’re describing. The metallic noise he’s referencing is the sound of the high pressure direct fuel injectors. All of the 718s with this motor sound like this. Listen carefully to any review of a GTS 4.0, GT4, or Spyder. Here’s one example: th-cam.com/video/DF1oelnaVDQ/w-d-xo.html In fact, most modern DFI engines make a ticking noise. Here’s a video of direct fuel injectors being bench tested: th-cam.com/video/Hg1lhTlSZwE/w-d-xo.html Due to something inherent in the 4.0L engine design, that sound is just much more pronounced in this engine.
@@ohmyggg Thank you for your answer!!! Very interesting.
the lack of technology and "basic/simple" approach is the main draw of this interior.
I don’t believe the sport suspension button “raises the car 10mm”. That button should firm up the suspension into sport mode, no?
It does not. It was a little misleading with how it was mentioned as a 10mm higher ride is only an available option.
hi, does this GTS have the OPF filter in the exhaust ?
The GTS has the OPFs as well - just like the GT4 and Spyder.
US models have them as well but my understanding is they are inert unlike the Euro spec cars. Someone might be able to correct me on that but US law does not require them - again, my understanding from my own research. I have a US spec 4.0 718 and the sound is adequate for me but I think removing the OPF bungs and replacing them with over axel pipes will probably improve the sound a good bit.
We don’t have it in the us
200k in my country
Dealer markups have made buying these models stupid!
Were the homeless you passed impressed? Welcome to LA!!!!
Lol, it's pretty bad
He sounds like a Porsche salesman.
It looks blah and plain vanilla. With the blue I would have done some silver or blue deviated stitching at least.
And lots of engine oil
@Ernie H 😂
probably the manual is closer to 4.3 seconds and the pdk is faster 0-60
