Lovely stuff, typical Cayman though: what were they thinking with these gear ratios? You have to go down to first for the hairpins and when you go up to 2nd you're out of the powerband again.
@@jagymeister for this reason i never sold my supercharged MX-5 with short final drive. Friends of mine own a 718 spyder with manual transmission. On twisty roads they can’t keep up with my 270 hp / 1150 kg Mazda on 215/45R17 Semis
@@wurstschnecke7730 you have very good power/weight ratio. I have 718 Cayman S (2.5l turbo PDK) and its works very well. Flat torque 400+Nm from 2000rpm and 370hp (stock car). Id love to have 6cyl, but this turns me off… its fine for track, but boring for country roads and big bends 🫣
@@jagymeister I always wanted a Boxster S/GTS, but the long gearing of manual transmission led me to the decision to supercharge my MX. Imo the 2,5t with pdk is the only decision for the boxster (15% shorter gears and due to pdk acceptable turbo lag). After driving an Alpine S my interest in Porsche has come to an end. Btw, i live in Stuttgart
@@wurstschnecke7730 PDK is shorter, but aldo 2.5T has lower redline, so its a lot shorter. I was looking for a Boxster, but got a deal for great speccedCayman (Pasm, chrono, pccb, carbon buckets, LSD… literally all options). I test drove A110 Pure and S too. I wanted to order, but they did 2 price increase and currency changed drastically too and it was a deal breaker… my 718S was around 50% cheaper.
Whoever complains about the long gearing in the GTS4.0/GT4/Spyder: This is how you‘re supposed to drive it. First gear is a driving gear, not only for 0-5mph as with most cars. Then you have more than enough torque out of hairpins.
Pěkné 👍 Je potřeba s těma koníkama zacházet opatrně, aby se nesplašili 🙂 Takové problémy ve svém autě nemám, tam je musím naopak povzbuzovat k životu 🙂
I'm always in love with all of your videos. However, this one is a big NO for me. "⚠The roads are always guarded, we never drive in an open traffic!" That's not true here. You often drive very well on empty roads, but clearly, in this case, there is traffic and pedestrians and many blind turns, and you are speeding near cyclists. EDIT: They changed the description and removed the usual disclaimer. It was replaced with : "with minimal traffic".
Honestly I also do not understand what "guarded" means. We can see several connecting roads with no people checking the traffic. Seems just like a "legal disclaimer"
You seriously have one of the most high quality car channels and some of the best pure driving i've seen on youtube. keep it up! 😁
Best current production car period.
Your driving is so good. Huge respect for that. Wish i could learn it too, but i dont want to crash or hurt anyone.
Get into simracing, it's loads of fun!
try sim racing or karting
you can also rip your handbrake on a roundabout without a lot of speed (safe af)

Exactly. As much as I love GTS/GT4, this really turns me off :( And manual is even more worse (3rd gear tops at 190kph!).

What a car ! I Hope I could afford one in the future
great video as always, but i think the perfect combo would be Alpine A110 GT + Alpine roads 🙄
literally me in assetto corsa
Nice! When it was recorded? September, October...?

실력 미쳤다 진짜...
Awesome! What road is this?
Could be the San Bernardino Pass (Passo del San Bernardino) in Switzerland, but I"m not sure.
It's Passo Falzarego, going from Caprile to Cortina in Italy ;)
Yes it is the best
Life is simple. When corners cz uploads, you just click and like. Simple.
where is that ? looking like Gastlosen
how long are those gears?? 👿
Can you do Elantra N manual someday? Plzzzz
Europe didn't get the Elantra N. They have the I30 N which is just a hatch version of the Elantra (same engine and transmissions)
There are some I30N videos on this channel
Thank goodness they closed the road for you- you must have some serious clout in Italy.
What’s road id?

it aint alpine a110.

They are going at less than 50km/h where there are pedestrians….
it is only dangerous if you hit them .
Ráno jak má být 🙂
