Matt Prior tests the new Porsche Cayman GT4, which gets 380bhp from its 3.8-litre flat six engine, to answer one simple question - is this the greatest Cayman ever made?

To all the haters, i think he does an excellent job, Steve or Harris are entertainers while Matt is more of an analyst and has a calmer approach. If you don´ t like him simply don´ t watch the video but stop insulting the poor man, he´ s doing his job and bringing you FREE content! I think he did great and if you think you can do better then have a go i´ m pretty sure most of the commenters wouldn´ t be able to do such an objective yet decisive review!
No, it is the audio engineer… they need to fire him asap.
Poor Matt, he probably has to read through all the comments saying "where's Steve gone?" and "matt is so boring" and it must be horrible for him, Matt knows what he's talking about and I think it's a great review.
The moment i saw this guy i got bored already. Steve r u ther?! Autocar please entertain us again. Carmakers are now making better cars, and what r u bringing us? A man that would tell us that the cayman has now more hp and make us feel that we should have just read the brochure or visited porsche's website and see the specs instead?! Oh c'mon autocar! We want steve!!
Snap, never a truer word said I switched off after a few seconds!
"The car is JUST............
.....
.........unbeleivable!"
Yh, that gets old fast.
LOL! That is EXACTLY WHAT I THOUGHT TOO!
It's a good review for anybody that's interested in the car itself, not just entertaining drifts.
Totally agree
Terrible audio. can't hear what the guy is blabbering.
this is the reason i think hes getting all this hate
The more important part - there is no stupid background music
Wouldn't Matt be better suited to ordering library cards correctly or commentating on drying paint?
popdog200 He'd be a cracking fax machine salesman.
+popdog200 LOL!!
Give Matt Prior a chance...People are way to critical these days.
For crying out loud, get a better mic or try to speak louder!
Microphone not working properly. Cannot hear you. Unwatchable. Sorry.
Heard every word fine
Manual gearbox. Excellent! What they should do is put the 3.8 Metzger engine in it. That would be superb! ☺
metzger engine.. or even the turbo.. would be nuts
Yes, let's bring back the 80's technology that's the way forward.
*Kirk:* Sulu, when going to warp speed, depress the clutch fully, don't just dip the clutch like Chekov does!"
1seipai Wouldn't fit is the story. In any case it'll sound the nuts and you'll very quickly forget it doesn't have a Mezger just like the 991 GT3
MATT, you're so descriptive and informative I just wish you were a little more animated! Feel free to be a yob (or whatever you Brits say) and let loose! Just show us how the car feels with your animation! That's the only way we can know what it feels like!
This IS the way the car feels! Long gears=yawn :)
F1 back in Portugal now! AIA one of the best circuits out there.
no próximo ano ?
F1 doesn't care about how cool something is, they care about the money... That's why we have rubish engine and cars on F1... It's all about the manufacturers and rich owners of F1 circuits...
If Portugal has a lot of money (wich he doesn't have) to give to FIA, then F1 could even be in your bathub...
Jonny Oliveira I agree 100%, i see F1 since im a kid, F1 as lost all the passion, its all about th €€€. Nice logo from the DOCTOR ;)
Jonny Oliveira rubbish engines? turbo v6's that produce a ton of power and torque is rubbish? I agree that F1 has been a lot about money but the engines have nothing to do with that. these v6's in a way saved f1 as it draws in manufacturers to make f1 engines. honda is back and there where rumours that bmw was interested
"In the car in front, is Walter Röhrl, we supposed to be fast enough" - cause Walter is reading newspaper and drinks a coffee...
Great review guys! Loved the camera work. Also that Porsche is fantastic!
Firstly, bring back Steve.
Secondly, it would be one of my favourite cars of the moment if it had PDK.
Firstly, i agree.
Secondly, i agree.
How would you know until you drive one?
People really want a PDK in a car like this? That is.... sad...
this guy has the same credentials as steve sutclife in regards to being a talented writer first then youtube presenter second.. its blatantly obvious from his car control that hes an amazing driver that gives a great detailed review..
and the whole pdk thing.. are you mad?
Agree you can't deny Matt's talent as a driver.
Regarding PDK, that's my preference. I've driven a GTS PDK and a C4S manual. As I'm not a racing driver, I can get more out of a car with paddles and a pair of clutches. Why someone would prefer a stick I can also understand, however.
if you want really great review by actual can enthusiast, watch Chris Harris.
I'm always impressed with guys that are able to drive hard while narrating its got to be mentally exhausting. This review is great clinically but doesn't do much emotionally. The sound of that 3.8 makes me feel warm and fuzzy though.
How about the GT3(991) engine in the Cayman - with manual gear of course.
We are mere mortals. We don't deserve that. That is reserved for the gods!
Motor with the intakes doesnt fit, also it's mid-engined so cooling would be an issue and it cant put up a manual gear box. Too much torque.
Daniel Christo Normaly the manual shifter will allow more torque than a PDK.
How about the 4.0 litre from the 997 gt3 rs4.0? That came with a manual.
Dinsdale Drummond
The 4.0 litre was a really nice engine, and yes it had a beautiful tran with no problem at all.
"It's a bit harsh" he says, holding back tears.
When the review started i was like: steve ..steve ..steve ...ohh shit nooo
Must be hard putting all this work into these great videos only to have a bunch of whiny, entitled children complaining about this and the other thing. Anyway, don't listen to the idiots. Lots of great info, great driving, awesome filming.
Old review, however I felt the reviewer did an excellent job. Surprised to see all the hate.
It's weird that this Porsche could not take any sensations and emotions out from this anchor (journalist)
";-)
I cannot believe Steve isn't reviewing this
*Dreaming of a Cayman GT4.0 RS...*
Its fun to see so much good footage from drones. =)
Excellent review. Well done.
great review matt!
More Sutcliffe!!! No offense to the driver, but I couldn't make it 2 minutes into this video without wondering if he was trying to put me to sleep. When I come to autocar I want to see Steve reviewing and its just that simple!!
What a car... I Had a boxster spyder.. Loved it. I think they are doing a boxster gt4/spyder correct?
Brilliant, informative review! I just wish I could afford a Porsche, amazing car's!!!
Sound is way too low. And bring Steve back !
Good review, but when you're talking, try to lower a bit the engine's noise, it's sometimes hard to hear what you're saying
I just love Autocar - fantastic review once again.. So what Porsche are trying to tell us is, get the Cayman GTS and it needs to be PDK - 7 gears and shorter ratios or get a manual but suffer slower times.. not about pushing automatics are they.. much.. you could get the GT4 but they are sold out!!
Can you wear a better mic? I can hardly understand you. You sound like the captain of a commercial flight. I can never understand what those guys are saying.
Watch the Chris Harris review. no point in watching this mundane shit.
So the wireless fails and your stuck with the cam's on-board natural sound mic !
Easily one of the most beautiful cars ever produced. Just.. wow.
Although Steve is indeed excellent..........this guy is growing on me, give him a chance
He has the driving skills this is clear............ but he doesn't flaunt it, which is nice
Sensational.! Ticks all the boxes and then some. Guards Red, C'est Moi.
This guy holds the world record for putting me to sleep at the fastest speeds. (I'm saying he's so boring he puts me to sleep in race speeds)
You need a professional here. A man who speaks clearly. Aren't there ANY drivers out there who can express themselves besides Randy Pobst?
Can't wait to see the aftermarket tune and add twin turbos....hehe
I think Matt is great journalist. But for gt4 review I was expecting Steve
First Porsche in a while that I've actually liked the sound of.
Don't forget to say that this was shot in the beautiful land of Algarve in Portugal
you guys forget the lapel mic this filming? I could barely hear him over the road and engine noise.
Bring back Steve and drop this boredom guy , please carmakers make pressure
I have to admit, when I was loading this video I was saying to myself "I hope Steve is reviewing this". It's more about the car though but wish Steve had done this one.
Man, this guy has all the charisma of a housebrick. As for the sound mix...PFFFT!
Now- who paid attention to various news, found out that Porsche 'could' build in a manual gearbox, because Porsche Rennsport had a different model with manual in the works and it was a synergy. Last model after the GT4 which came out was a 991 GT3 RS. WITH PDK! Is nobody except of me interested, what Porsche has in the works (will definitely be something very sporty) which also gets a manual??? Wanna know!!!
If Chris Harris and James May had a baby. It would be Steve Sutcliffe...
Yes
This lav microphone was not plugged in ...
Sorry if this is a bad question, but one could "modify" a Cayman, right? Like put aftermarket engine enhancements to make it even more powerful?
Yay another new Porsche that looks exactly the same as all the others
This guy's as exciting as watching paint dry.
BRING BACK STEVE.
The Cayman has grown on me I do admit that but I still see no reason in having one in their ( Porsche ) line up. We have the Boxster and the 911, someone correct if I'm wrong you have the all out street/track monster and than a baby Porsche. Why the Cayman ? Anyways, I knew this was coming it was only a matter of time. Looks good can't wait to see more videos.
Actually, Matt is very informative in a way that Chris Harris would never be as he is too busy monkeying around. Just go and watch Chris if you want that.
It's nice to see another style of car review, an informative review which talked alot about the car's technical changes.
It should have PDK version. lots of boxster base owner already did the 3.8 conversion and PDK works perfectly so why not.
Seriously where is Sutcliffe? I fell in love with the GTS after seeing his review and I was looking forward to his impressions on the GT4. he is so passionate about cars and you see it.
This gentlemen didn't tell me a thing I don't already know, plus he got some facts wrong!!! Steve where the f r u?
0:18 "oh no this guy again..."
that moment the new 4 banger boxster is faster to 60 than the gt4...
This guy need to have his mic turned up...and be more interesting
From what I understand in this review, the GT4 seems to be a limited edition, is that the case and if so how many will be produced...anyone?
His voice works better than my 30mg Xanax.
Great car; absolutely wrong journalist to report on it.
The audio was horrible but the car looked really good though. For the money z28 or z06 is a better choice.
Let Jethro review this car!
You have improved since the C63 video .. The car though ...
Yeah I initially thought "where the fuck is Steve?", but Matt can drive - whether Walter was going easy on him or not....
Long time no see steve, where is he?
Steve!!!
plz re-review this baby
Could barely hear what the driver said. Did anyone make a soundcheck before recording the voice?
Who mixed the sound on this thing? You can barely hear the guy over the engine.
what's wrong with the audio with all of your recent videos???
Where is Steve? Matt you are good just wondering if Steve is still with Autocar?
audio and needs better lens for the flybys or maybe color grading
Where's Sutcliffe!?
Anyone know what happened to Steve Suitcliffe?
Bored at 1 minute into the video. Lol.
"65k is a lot for a cayman" - It's peanuts when you consider it is 100k in Aus :(
Better sound would help, maybe use a different microphone setup.
you could buy this car instead of a ferrari california ad still have a lot of chang left
Audiolevels, please ....
filmed in portugal ive driven in dat same track! xD
Not a bad reviewer by any means but I didn't sub to this channel to watch him. I like Steve even better than Harris when he is on the ball. I would be really happy to see him back at it soon!
Try buying one!
I Called almost every Porsche dealer in the UK and they all say that their allocation is sold and will not accept anymore orders.
What is the point of making such a big noise about a car that less that 100 people can buy
Interesting, but need to work on the audio!
Autocar, what happened? Poor audio quality, poor video quality...gee
Am i the only person who doesn't miss Steve?
The audio on this video is absolutely terrible. Step it up gents.
Where is sutcliffe?
thing of beauty.
this man is better than Steve
Porsche makes great cars but they're sold a la carte. Their cars have NO standard equipment, they charge extra for everything.
because they can
Porsche Carrera no because people are dumb enough to pay through the nose for some thing that a zl1 camaro or z28 with much cheaper over head will beat, in 0 to 60 and on a track. It's sad, trying to be exclusive, they will over pay for a nice slow track car, and I've seen more caymans on the road than i care to count. plus up keep prices on a porsche, yeah their you go, lol, a hard head makes a soft ass.
TheCa007 ....Again because Porsche can.
TheCa007 Right, and every time you re- sale a Porsche gt version you will always break at least even, to say at least. Can t say the same about a camaro.
TheCa007 The difference between a scalpel and a hammer.
Does this car have parking sensors? reserve camera?
No parking sensors or reverse cam.. atleast doesnt come standard.
Just saw who was the presenter and had to stop the video :( Maybe he is a great content editor, but not right for your on camera stuff :( I hate criticizing people here, but please know this is purely professional. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, just want to watch the show and enjoy every second of it.
Very bad quality audio, struggling to hear what's being said.
Who did the sound on this video? Yikes! I hear more background noise than the commentary.
When will F1 get to Mid - field Raceway ?
