man, loving the dedicated review space. Press on!
Make a track-time leaderboard for all the cars!!!!
This
I guess you underestimate the logistics behind that. For example, you'd always have to wait for kind of the same weather to really make a point out of the different times to compare it. This alone is probably incredibly hard having to schedule shootings with manufacturers and other wealthy people lending their cars. Then you need a qualified driver that is able to put down the exact same skills everytime with every car. There are probably a lot more difficulties than the two I could think of immediately. I doubt the reward for all the effort is high enough.
@@EmillionWayz If that's the case, it could be it's own series to rank each car on the track.
@@EmillionWayz firstly Mr JWW it's a pretty good driver, if it's his own channel he could do the driving himself, and not even Top Gear could manage to put all cars in good weather conditions,so you just need to acknowledge the conditions and put that in perspective when comparing the cars.
@@lucascompinto Yeah, its not a serious comparison. He definitely is a good driver and it has been shown on here before, he could just add a note on each time if they were done in the wet
Sorry, is this Top Gear? Oh no, it’s Mr. Jww’s new awesome content! Good job sir!
Miles better than the Top Gear
It's the same car as top gear just tested too 😂
James Ayre yes, is a press car, that’s normal
Thanks great review. Listen to the new 718 GT4 from one of the countries that don’t have particulate filters and you will be very thrilled! It’s awesome!!😎
Sometimes I disconnect from TH-cam for a while and when I come back, every single time this channel goes above and beyond what it was previously.
That's a good way of putting it. I've meant to come back here since the smokingtire podcast, but just did and wow
The GT4 is awesome. It’s a shame it’s so difficult to get one. It would be interesting to see you review the new GTS 4.0?
nik Porsche won’t sell you one as there’s not a large enough allocation.
hard to get in the sense? is it the problem with the dealers not selling you the GT cars?
nik correct
@@AlexSmith-de2le only ever heard that from americans. my first ever porsche was a 981 gt4. i walked into the dealership told them i wanted a car and they asked me to give them a week and i got a call back next week asking me if i was ready to put a deposit down and spec my car. of course this was all in the UAE where a gt2rs is more common than a gt4. i paid no premium got my car in 12 weeks as promised.
@@BrawnyPony It's the same in the UK too. Impossible to get a GT product (i.e. GT4, GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS) unless you've bought many other Porsches from the same dealer. Much easier in mainland Europe though from what I hear.
Got to say the gt4 and spyder are probably my favourite porsches now. The ratios and overall size just work for me. Loverly machine.
My absolute most favorite car in terms of Porsche I've actually seen and heard one of these in real life I couldn't believe it it was the limited edition model from 2016 now that they just make them production-wise hopefully we will see them more on the road beautiful car well done and my God in person the sound is ethereal
A JCR exhaust would soon see to the noise! Also where's the leaderboard with (SW) against the GT4 - 'Seriously Wet!'
Mate, been watching your vids for several years now and loving the trajectory you're on. It's always been great content, well presented - but this is next level. Really looking forward to the new stuff this year, good luck!
This video was exceptional! I’d love to see a video comparing the GT4 to a Lotus Evora GT; I think that would be the closest competition to the GT4!
I narrowed things down to the same two cars. I test-drove an Evora GT. Very well made and the exhaust sound was precious. Visibility out the rear window was near zero. I could never get used to that. Planning on buying a 2016 Cayman GT4.
Absolutely love this videos. 1) I would like to see some driver pov in the video (specially when driving a manual) to see how it looks driving through the track in that vehicle. 2) maybe some aerial drone shots of the car flying through the track would be cool too. Excited to see what's next. Keep up the great work
In typical Mr JWW....it's chucking it down 😁🤣
I do like the look of the new Porsche GT4 🙂👍🏻
And a video from James is what we ALL wait for,
Beautifully shot, with superb content and information 🙂👍🏻
Thanks for everything you do James 🙂
Stay safe 👍🏻
All the best,
Mark 🙂
How does James not have 1 million subs yet. Easily some of the highest quality and entertaining car TH-camrs out there !
Jared Norton majority of the viewers are kids, that’s why VV or DDE has 2 million subs.
@@apt62 so true. Really shame tho. This man be creating his own top gear yet essentially cos of subs and views gets paid less
Great car presentation Man, really good the highlights you do compared to many other "car presenters..."
My uncle has the previous model GT4 Cayman, and I’ve got to say even being in the passenger seat, the noise, the experience, the way it sticks into corners and everything and so much more that makes you feel as if you are in a car made to race. Surely one of the most complete cars ‘for your money’ out there. Awesome vid.
Nicely shot car reviews without the TopGear cocking about. Best formula 👍
Yeah, this is the next level of TH-cam car content, this is where it should be heading
I have to say that GT4 is currently my favourite Porsche! It just really shows the the engineers in Zuffenhausen have not forgotten their own DNA. Awesome Video as always James!
As you often said... This video is next level ! Top quality content. You are the one man top gear.
True that its propably not a MR jww video without it raining but you can turn this to a strong point, everybody loves sliding fast cars with the hasards on in the rain kind of shots, less of the interior camera showing you struggling in your seat even though its funny.. plus getting more cinematic in the rain sitting shots of the car will just make everything look cooler, all n all great video mate :)
Just need to rip the fuel particulate filters in the exhaust and it should change the cars sound drastically
A nice colour that.. A fast thing to get you home to start that Arc.
Just got mine, wow, wow, wow my favourite mid engine Porsche car of all time. Can't stop smiling!
Bummer about the bad weather coinciding with your turn in the 718 GT4. Nevertheless ,solid video . Coincidentally , I took my 981 GT4 out of Winter storage yesterday since we hit mid 50's here in New York, good Lord almighty... what a car !! I can't imagine not my days without it.
Having had plenty of 911's since the late 80's ...all of them I all loved, but the mid-engine Cayman GT4's are just perfection . Redonkulous fun .
Hell yeah! Can’t wait to see a 718 GT4 with wing risers. 👌🏼
11:50 accidentally went from 2nd to 5th coming out of a turn while talking about how important it is to master the MT.
And that makes the experience...human. We've all been there.
Mr JWW pushing the game forward! Meanwhile other automotive TH-camrs are stagnant. King's to you James, keep going ;)
love how MrJWW just puts out car content and NO DRAMA. THANK YOU!
You know, I think you just may have something there with a track out your back door. Looking forward to you testing all of the supercars. Compare the GT2 RS vs the Pista please!
10 seconds quicker round the Ring, hmm well.... I’ll live with that! 😉🤣 Best Peter
I want one of these. driven two. so much fun to drive. bravo for giving it a go in the rain
Another awesome Porsche... 6 speed manual thank God...414hp NA engine, reving to 8000 yay baby... Has there ever been a badly designed / constructed Porsche? ... I like the side view best of all... The front and rear I find a little plain looking... If I had to have that colour I'd add black exterior trim, door handles, wing mirrors and spoiler. Man I wish I could buy the car and come over from Australia and get some lessons... Thanks for the review...
I hope your channel takes off, great content and awesome location. More frequent videos tho?
I like the car from the looks and from that N/A engine as well
And the manual transmission! 😍
Incredible!! The work you do behind the scenes makes this look effortless!! Wonderful!
Epic shots MrJWW! A manual 718, real driver's Porsche! And if I may, how about a VIP program for tickets to the show?
I think it would be a great adition to have a leaderboard of tracktimes for the cars you test. Not a different driver. Just you, makes it more clear how any normal person can drive a car to its potential!
This car is a must have!
The sport button in the old car not only did auto blip but also opened a thermostat to allow engine coolant flowing and keep oil temp below 220 F , engine coolant would stay around 200F tops
this felt like a 1 man top gear episode, loved it
Awesome video again James! It’s too bad those particulate filters have to be added. Luckily in the US that’s not a thing....yet 🙃
Good dynamic color on whatever you're shooting
Porsche does it again with a perfect car,
jon looks wise...
this is my dream car! if I could have this car in a PDK it would be over I would be set for life. Keep playing BOTB but no luck ... Great review James. I love this new video style, keep it up!
This is the one of the 5 most beautiful cars of all time to me :)
You reviewed as well as you were allowed to in this poxy weather at the current time but being a GT Porsche it's gonna be good!
Great content as always!! You need to give your track a name, I think Rainy Daze would be a good one, and also christen your JWW man cave. Sorry person cave :)
In order to get a meteorology degree in the UK you actually have to have a direct connection to Mr. JWW so you can know when he's filming. That's how they predict rain.
As always, a well produced, and informative video for passionate petrolheads!
Loving the content, especially at the new bunker along with the track!! Keep it coming man!
love that black on yellow look... and of course the format and review!
I have had the unique privilege of discovering your channel late in its existance. What I mean is, like starting in the middle of "season" 3 of Game of Thrones - I needed to go and watch from the beginning! So, I've gotten the accelerated version by watching 2-3 "episodes" during my work day lunch hours. Really enjoyable content and very diverse, also love the evolution of the brand, keep it up.
One thing I've noticed, as a licensed, weekend warrior racer, is that you are not using a neck restraint or more advanced seatbelts. For the regularity that you are on a track, you've transitioned from "if" something could go wrong to "when" something will go wrong. There are many options out there that do not require a full harness for a HANS style device. Also, I noticed on Schroth's website today, that they have a harness that uses the factory seat belt connectors for temporary use.
Apologies for the lecture, but i just don't like seeing good people get into trouble.
Always enjoy these videos James.
Biblical rain so well done for getting the film in the can under those conditions. Talking, filming and driving can't all be easy to do concurrently, so kudos to you and your (wet) camera man !
Great video. Drive no matter the conditions. Wish they made a Cayman with the GT3RS engine and transmission. That car would be mad.
Great video: what do you think of yellow vs chalk? Have to lock in build soon.
I noticed that you tend to grip the steering wheel real tight. Try relaxing a bit the grip and your overall body tension when driving and you'll find more success my man!
Mad content this far in 2020! Keep it up man 🙏🏼👏🏻👏🏻
I always liked the gt4. This is coming from a 911 owner. They released the same engine in the GTS model which deflates my enthusiasm. Either way its a gorgeous car and would love to own one. 911 today is a Grand Tour car now. Only the 911 GTx models excite me.
One of my favourite cars!
11:50 - he goes from 2nd to 5th? haha
2nd to 3rd..
Great video. I’d like to see you take more ‘attainable’ sports cars into the bunker and onto your track such as the Civic Type R, A35 AMG etc.
Not only does this car out handle a GT3, it looks far more “fresh” in the styling department. Sorry James, but 911’s are the dowdy Aunt of the Porsche series. This is a serious car, with a serious design platform. I wish you had spoken to the tall gearing required by Porsche so this car wouldn’t tromp all over its 911 big brother. And no, I’m not a 911 hater, as I’ve owned two of them.
Wouldn’t be a JWW video without the rain! 😂
😁🤣 I thought exactly the same 😅
Sport mode also ramped up the cooling system in the old gt4. Is that still the case with the auto blip button now?
what are Porsche doing for body panels now they have stopped making the beetle?
Love the new GT4 and the new 4.0! So excited that the GTS version will also be a 4.0, would be very interested in a comparison between them in the future.
Where do you always get all this nice and expensive cars from? You made very good videos with the cars👍👍.
There were complaints about tall gearing , how was it for you ? If that's case I'd assume it's same with the new GTS
I had the pleasure of seeing the original model in real life of all places in a stop & shop parking lot my God what a car. So glad they decided to just make them production line. The guy that I met was astonished somebody knew what he was driving It wasn't your average Porsche.
He was so excited that he took himself his wife and myself out to dinner for free a total stranger.
Have one on order...
Does it come in a box ? 🤣
@@ryanmccormick2150 msrp is like 124k (canadian) with a few options the price is not bad at all. Lot of people can afford this car man why would you assume this guy cant?
i got 2. both black
@@stefanfreestylez I'd rather a Carrera T for that money though lol
@@legodude19999 nah turbo is a no go if you want more back to basics sports car. Would def rather have this
James - where did ya get the T-shirt? iconic picture of Senna, Mansell & co - love It!!
Another enthusiastic walk & talk drive review from Mr. JamesWetWeather. Very cool stuff.
😂👍🏻
🤙😉
That opening shot was stunning 👌👌
I like thats its mostly plastic and what not not a bunch of carbon driving the price through the roof if you need to replace something from track use.
Great review! Would you purchase one I think is the ultimate question
Love the Spec !
Great video and stunning car I feel one of the best all rounders you can get
I see the rain caught up with you again
Love it! Rich man’s MX-5
The clubsport race car still uses the old 3.8 engine, it seems it’s very reliable according to manthey racing
The new 718 Cayman GT4is much more improved over the predecessor, it lacks the gnarly engine growl of the 981 GT4
quick question James.. the doors behind you at the start of the video.. did someone just epoxy together a stack of kitchen cabinet doors?
Wow..smart car
I love Porsche^^
That long drive you have to make to get here will feel worth it when you can drive this around the track!
Great Test - Does anyone know if the new GT4 comes with "no lift shifting" function??? Like the the manual GT3?
Interesting to see how much the seat flexes/shifts during the interior track shots
Bunker is on point!! Amazing review space.
Production game is on POINT these ays.
You could do flying laps on cars and make a classification from fastes to last with the respective time in front
Still take my 991.2 TTS over the entire GT line. In fact I just bought the 992 Turbo S.
In buying the 991.2 I did drive the GT3, McLaren 570,720 and the 488 . All were fun for 10 minutes till you notice the harshness and in the end there not daily drivers as the Turbo S
Was
how does this guy not have 4 million subs
Given you’re at Bicester why not partner up with another outfit there and get these cars up on the ramps so we can see the engineering.
2 wheels or 4 lol
Love this style of reviews. Will they be the review of new Aston-Martin coming? Or a video of new chevy c8 Corvette
the baby Porsche is not a baby anymore, what a beast
Wonderful car, but doesn't sound a patch on the 981 thanks to the new Euro-PPF's. 😕
The GT4 front and rear fascia is superb. I wish they didn't ruin the look with that horrendous coffee table they used as a rear spoiler. I guess I'll go for the GTS...
Those Cup 2 tyres are no good on wet surfaces. I had a set on my RS3, they are only good on dry.
New content = day made
