#SupercarDriver #Porsche #CaymanGT4 - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
GT4 is Porsche's best keep secret. I have owned 911's for 32 years. Thought I'd give one of these a crack....no regrets! I try not to compare it to my 911 Turbo or GT3. It is better on any country road or hill climb, it is seriously that good. It will beat both of my 911s, it is so grounded and FAST. On a track it holds it's own, not quite a quick, but near as. It is the best bang for ya buck that you can get in the Porsche line up.
Bang for Buck for road use... Gts 4.0
I agree, GTS best bang for buck on the road and GT4 best band for buck on the track🏎
I feel the same way about my Cayman R. It’s not about the stats but the driving experience it 10/10! Manual FTW!
V nice 👍🏼
Cayman R, what a car!
Silver shows off more of the lines of the car.
It’s a beauty
This color+wheels combo is super sweet
Sweet is the word you're looking for 😅
@@_Ambition124 😅
Superb isn't it! Silver on gold.
Which silver was this? I have a Rhodium silver Spyder and am thinking of changing my wheels from black to gold.
The first GT4 blew my mind, and this one still does...and yes, the first (and only?) mod would be an exhaust!
Great video, as always!
Glad you enjoyed it! That would be our mod too! JCR Exhaust!
Have had the gear ratios shortened on my 981 GT4 and it’s wonderful
Your reviews are mega 👍 saw your Rennsport back date video a while ago and added it to playlist.. playlist called Porsche... Now adding this to the playlist. Good 👍 job mate good 👍 job
i always spec the aluminum fuel cap and pedals
♥️🤓 In love from the first moment....Amazing 👍😎🚀
It's so beautiful oh my god... Nice shots of the car, gotta say
Brilliant work of art.
It is!
Would you spec yours with the sport buckets? Or no?
Thx for the video.
Hi Matt thanks for your awesome reviews on the GT4 and Spyder. Which one is the pick for the spirited country driving? Im leaning toward the spyder.
I'm an e92 m3 comp owner, we both know how great that car is and will be a classic. Would you trade into the spyder over for the thrill, experience and joy of driving? I drive my m3 often with lots of weekend club drives, but it doesn't get me up early on a Sunday morning for the sake of going for a solo drive. Last car that did that for me was 370z 12 years ago (because 1st sportcar) I feel like the spyder/GT4 would do this? Cheers
Great car, especially with an aftermarket exhaust
I get mine in 2 weeks! Manual in Guards Red.
Congrats! Lovely spec!!
Great video. Do try an Evora 400/GT. You might be surprised
Awesome video Matt and can't agree with you more ;)
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video and review, but can I be silly for a second??? …nice “smedium” shirt! xD
Did they fix the final drive?
Great video, mate
Like your tone of phrase. Not Clarkson-esque, but just the right level of cheekiness 😉
Thanks ! Makes me feel like waking up my e92 M3 and blast it 😇😀
It’s a shame Porsche never put the gt3 engine in a Cayman...but like you said...420bhp is way enough to have fun nowadays !
Keep up the entertaining videos 😍
Nobody would buy the GT3 if they did that! Though I do admit, that would be really awesome
DeMan Motorsports has a 4.5 engine, 509 whp, $40k with close ratio box, clutch and exhaust. It’s cheaper than a GT3 trade in.
@@clu4u yes but no warranty and forget 9000 rpm of the GT3 engine
I have both an E92 M3 and a a 981 GT4, so I'm with you!
Dude, same dream team right here! I have a manual, alpine white E90 and a guards red GT4. Just purchased the GT4 last month and it's being delivered across Canada as I write this. I've been thinking that there are others out there with that combination. Enjoy them - they're a rare breed!
Good review. There are cars that are flashy but the GT4 is all about the driving experience
So right! The GT4 is one of the all time great driver's cars.
Great vid….👍👍
Thanks Richard!
With only very few exceptions, the people that need 700bhp are those who are only capable of driving quickly in a straight line!
If you've driven a 718 Spyder already then you've driven a gt4. Same except for roof
Dream car and good video but not a fan of the spec, think it’s the gold wheels and yellow callipers putting me off.
This over 911? Oh yes
I own a 2021 GT4. In Gentian Blue with gold rims and PCCBs. Car is very good but… GT4RS is what I am really looking forward to.
Can we get some TVR content?
The thing that gives me pause is the long gearing. Engine begs to be wound up but doing so means driving in 2nd all the time or going speeds that’ll get you in trouble.
Please don't let the gearing dissuade you. You'll love the car and you'll love the gearing. You don't have to wind it out all the time to enjoy the motor (the power kicks in around 3500 RPM and builds from there) and I think you'll love the gearing after you've driven it for awhile. I know I do!
This... Over a gt2rs. 🥰
Funny you should say that!!
Being only half a second quicker is never a good enough reason to choose PDK over manual… wonderfully spec’d car!!
Thats the first time i am the first to comment some video. Feeling special! Lol
Amazing review but I’d take the PDK. Gearing is just too high with the stick. 2nd shouldn’t end at 80mph
PDK only shaves 6-7 mph, so you’ll still be breaking the speed limit in 2nd. When you have cars that reach 200 mph, just comes with the territory - like every GT car Porsche makes.
Seems like PDK also suffers from that gearing issue. That said since I did have the manual Spyder before I would opt for the PDK this time around.
Yeah, common for all Porsche GT cars, which have high redlines and max speeds of 200 mph. You would need another gear or two or a very long final gear. Just comes with the territory. I have a manual in my 718 Spyder and love it. Had a 718 Boxster S with PDK and got bored. Great that there are now options for both preferences.
It's a little pricey for the regular Cayman's but for the GT4 it's probably worth a gear swap. Just go with the same ratios as the 911, problem solved.
Gearing is almost the same as the manual 1st thru 6th - 7th is just higher gear
Do some test drive on Cayman R, I think u won’t disappointed
No one ever specs? I have the aluminium fuel cap too.
Rare to see tbh
I love driving the GT4 but the only thing I’d wish Porsche would add is a lift system. Driving over speedbumps is a nightmare with the constant scraping
Agree it's the only option I wish it had.
I got over it quickly
Pun intended? 😉
$400 U.S. to replace the front splitter. Why do you need a lift system? Scrap away to your hearts content and save a few bucks every week to buy a new splitter! I'm gonna order a spare now and keep it 'till I need it!
Now drive the 981 GT4...that's the one. Get one while you can. They're not getting any cheaper.
2016 gt4 is nice, but I think I enjoy my 2021 more.
981 engines sounds better, and it's not had the reliability issues of the 4.0L engine. There's a reason the factory 718 GT4 Clubsport kept the 3.8L
Manual > PDK
Manual every day!
Porsche recommends PDK over manual..
@@DS-vx3wf who says that? An American Porsche dealer knowing that most of his potential customers unable to properly use a manual?
In Germany Porsche doesn’t recommend PDK over manual ! Or because of potentially higher resale value? This would be a lie then…
@@DS-vx3wf I drove a GT$ GTS 4.0 last week on track with PDK and was not impressed. The GT4 with a manual is much more fun to drive. On track, I get why the PDK is better, but for fun around town, the manual is the only way to go. On the other hand, a Carrera S with PDK makes sense with all that twin turbo power. :-)
Everyday!!
The PDK is a must have and the reason I never got a 981 GT4. The ratios are too long. On the road the PDK is 7th gear and then down 5 gears in under a second to blast past traffic. On the track you have more ratios that are shorter and thus the engine feels more excited, more eager, plus you're thinking about revving it out rather than lugging it out at 87mph in 2nd gear.
Telling your friend you have the manual will only make them think you're some sort of driving hero if they can't drive themselves.
You save a whole 6-7 mph with PDK; still doing 80 in 2nd gear…rather have the driver engagement with manual. Every GT car has the same issue. Track cars.
@@randomhawks3232 So that's 10% lower gearing. A significant difference. Again, driver engagement - changing gear should be a subconscious process - something you do when you're weighing up the corner/maneuver. Involvement is feeling the car move, the forces, the responses, the shuffle, the balance.
981 GT4, that vacuum cleaner 718 GT4 exhaust sucks
I deleted mine . And it sounds great
You need to watch out for the weight... it hurts performance...
Unusual colour, but it doesn't work. The wheels are terrible. The car is terrific, but the PDK offers more: launch control, a signficantly lower 0-60 and a reduction in the poor gearing problems. And I say this as a manual box owner. Stupid door releases and not enough noise; not fixed by having the PDK. The PCCBs are amazing. Don't get it in yellow, unless you are happy to advertise your mid-life crisis. I have owned a 996 C4S, a 997.2 C4S and a 991.2 C2S; all were fantastic. But, for driver involvement and a track day focused car, I'd take the GT4 all day.
Dude, I suggest you buy something else and leave the GT4s for us. :-)
Why is that all these youtubers sound like Porsche salesman?
