- The guys drive the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS on the street, and immediately realize they're wasting the car's time. It should constantly live on a racetrack, but what's it like to drive on the street and at slower speeds?

I think that people sometimes forget that the GT4RS is not just a marketing exercise, but also a GT4 homologation special which was designed to fix the inherent issues with the GT4MR, specifically the thermal capacity. I suspect that Porsche's engineers moved the engine intakes to the quarter-windows to free up cooling capacity in the side vents, and discovered the impact on the in-cockpit sound along the way. The marketing guys most likely heard it and responded "Yeah, we can work with that!".
OH! And the camera work! Wow guys, wow! Thanks for that rich visual experience that you're so famous for!
I drove at GT4 and a GT3 RS back-to-back at the Xtreme Xperience this year. When I got done, I said "the GT4 RS will be the greatest car ever made". Sounds like I was right.
Amazing review! Thank you! I loved the clip of the GT350! I sadly just sold my GT350 to get a GT4RS and it is as amazing as you say! Honored to own one!
I just today got signed up for one of the 4 extra GT4RS that are coming to Denmark - best day of my car-life so far 😍
I think we need a Friends of Everyday Driver group buy for the GT4RS. 50% off and a guaranteed allocation sounds about right. We can all pick up our cars at the Experience Center together. Hurley Haywood could give a master class on driving these incredible machines and Paul can teach us how to properly detail and clean our cars after a track day!
The theatricals, the drama, the experience; 'tis the reason I love my 124 Abarth for 1/4 of the GT4 RS. One day..
Holy crap.... the sound is intoxicating.
4 Food groups.... that is Awesome !!😎
amazing car!! great looks amazing performance ...love 718 in general .....video was great also..
Great video as always. Todd is absolutely right! Most of these will never get driven the way they were intended, and that's a shame. But isn't that true with most uber sports cars now a days?. For me a manual is a must. I don't care how smooth or fast the PDK is. I'm not chasing lap times, but rather, fun times.
After having had 10 manual 911’s and still have a manual 964, I can assure you the GT4RS is the most fun Porsche ever made😊 In fact it’s the most fun car on sale today.
Been waiting for this one!
Drool... love the naration, videography and drone shots showing off the curves of the pcar going thru the fun curves! Again...drool.... I want one! 😀
Great review guys. My GT4RS started its journey from Edmen port in Germany today to my dealer. I should get it by Thanksgiving. I miss my 718 GT4 so much but part of my agreement was I’d use it as a trade-in and I know this will make up for it.
This makes me want to go buy a preowned normally aspirated 981. That may be the Everyday Driver Porsche for the rest of us!
Great video! Thank you for comparing the 4RS, GT3, and the GT3RS. I am looking forward to drawing my own conclusions after comparing the 4RS, 992 GT3, and Lambo STO after delivery day. I already feel that the 992 GT3 is a bit bloated and best utilized on track over daily driving (for those of us not commuting solely on twisty B roads).
you guys said kind of the same things about the regular GT4. that's okay, though. I have a low miles first edition Cayman S and love it.
I have the 987.1 CS also but am always looking for the next "best thing!"
I suspect the A-arm front suspension may be as important as the engine.
I've driven a PDK indeed great... but without the engagement of my left foot and my right hand, just can't but think this car would have been even MORE engaging in manual.
This is the only negative about it but it’s significant enough to ruin it for me. I wouldn’t buy it because it’s auto.
The RS cars haven’t had a manual for a while. In fact, there’s very few modern race cars that have a manual anymore either. As a lover of the manual transmission I will say PDK is absolutely amazing. And guess what? If you use the paddles you get engagement with both your right AND left hands 😉
I think the point of this car is to be the fastest Cayman ever. People should be buying this because they want to go faster on the track, not so much for driving enjoyment (though obviously that's a bonus of any fast well-balanced Porsche). Seems like the GT4 (or even GTS) will suit 99% of enthusiast's needs, and that one comes with a manual.
@@phattyhales I did have an extended drive in a Cayman that had the PDK... My old M240I had the flappy paddles... even as good as the PDK is... flappy paddles will never be as good as a real manual transmission. I'm assuming that a lot of this camera work is yours Chance? excellent as always.
The regular gt4 is good enough for me and even that is a pipe dream
Thoughts on the weissach package being “required” for peak performance? Have an allocation and trying to decide on adding that and the magnesium wheels or not. tks
It is impossible for me to get sick of that engine noise. Not to mention the drive experience, I hope to do that someday.
I have a 2020 718 Spyder. I wish I could have waited and got the 718 GTS with the powered roof.
Hey Porsche if you’re reading this, please make a manual GT4RS 😊 BTW, great content. I love watching everyday driver 👍👍👍
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed!
I got confused at first because I just watch a vid on the Nissan Z GT4 and my brain dropped the ball for two seconds before I started watching. 😵💫
You were very happy with the turn in and I presume steering feel with the cast iron rotors. How was the steering feel compared to the Cayman R with hydraulic steering from your 3 Cayman Generation Video? Is a person missing anything anything by specifying cast iron rotors rather than PCCB which save 37.5 pounds on unsprung rotating mass, other than a $30,000 brake job if PCCBs need replacing?
Go to any Porsche track day anywhere and you’ll see everyone runs steelies. PCCB’s are for the street posers.. if you are using this car like you should on road and track, it’s steelies all the way.
Motoring Nirvana!
Great video. How do you come to the calculation of “half the price of a GT3”? Did I misunderstand?
Though not intended as an exact comment, we know of dealers who’ve sold GT4 RS at MSRP. But we’ve not heard of anyone getting a GT3 for less than double the MSRP. It’s a throwaway comment here, but that’s the origin. Thanks for watching!
There are so many versions of the 718 Cayman now it gets overwhelming knowing which is the best version for me. Not sure how possible it would be, but it would be quite cool to get a video where you guys drive them all back-to-back and explain which versions suit which life/driving styles best. Cayman, T, S, GTS, GT4 and GT4 RS
GTS 4.0 will be the best for most people, but GT4 and GT4RS for those who want the most special/dedicated cars.
They are all good. The best cayman is the one you can afford.
@@overspecced S/GTS. The 2.5 gets a bad rep because it's not a 6. But the real world power is there, and it's a good bit cheaper. (Full discloser; I'm currently waiting on a GTS allocation after talking myself into it with the "for just 10% more, the GTS has an engine that is damn near peak NA ICE and won't lose its value as much compared to the S.)
Honestly, the base pretty damn good too.
My choice was a 718 Spyder manual. Love it.
@@Closertotruth2 I had a 981 spyder and loved it so much, I have a paint to sample 718 Spyder on order.
You guys really said this reminds you of a Mustang,
If you listened to all that was said then you know it wasn’t a reference to driving dynamics…
You guys have way too much fun! Best Test Drive ever? As Stefan says below - maybe one day. We can always dream.
Guys!!! I asked a long time ago about the high five as you switch drivers. You said maybe on a special car. How much more special can you get than the Cayman GT4 RS? I mean when I’m driving the spec sheet I’m grinning from ear to ear!!!
Watch our GR Corolla review on our other channel… it happens more than once. We simply didn’t think of it on this shoot. Glad to have you watching!
@@TestDriveVideos Ah, fair enough!! Will do!!
Anyone else see that MK7 trailing hard on the ring? What's the better value people?! :)
I can't wait to buy one and park it in the garage for 20 years!
Can you get 8/10 of the experience with the GTS 4.0?
Bet this won’t lose any value either lol
I can't verify the source but a couple magazine mentioned that there will be 7000 GT4 RS expected to exist, which will make it a less rare car to come by ( just for reference there's about 6500 991.2 GT3 )
So I'd suspect a decently used one will still lose value once the dust settles, but I don't think it'll ever go under $/€120k. The demand is very high for this one.
Even the gt4s look ridiculous on the road like all those pumped up girls from the gyms. For me the best cars are the ones you can easily afford and don’t care about the paint.
Manual transmission can't keep up. I grew up on manuals and love them. But I just want to be faster and more efficient. Its funny how manuals are worshipped by Americans but years ago Americans would have nothing more than an auto. Now their so good they don't want them. ?
No question that the PDK and most modern automatics are better than a manual if viewed objectively. But from an involvement perspective, the manual wins in its organic way of connecting a driver to what's going on and feeling vital to the process. Similarly, there's no question that digital music recordings are easier, cleaner, and objectively better - but some people prefer the "feel" of listening to vinyl. Thanks for watching.
@@TestDriveVideos the difference though in this type of NA high revving car is the additional 7th gear. The gear ratios are thus closer in the 7 speed and is accelerating like how it was meant to.
I just scratch my head with those who prefer a 6 speed manual (one less gear) in this type of car.
A 7 speed 3 pedal isn’t all that great either as Porsche and owners found out. Too easy to mistakenly go into 5th when meaning to go into 3rd.
Their is still the fun factor but that can be achieved in an older generation car that was engineered and designed for the 6 speed 3 pedal.
A rambling conversation full of contradiction and half truths. I get it, you were taken away by the car, the road and the experience.
Contradiction and half-truths? We can be prone to hyperbole, but we don’t think we said anything worth this accusation. Still, thanks for watching and we hope you’ve driven this car.
The GT4RS is the most fun car Porsche ever produced @viola_gt4rs
