The results are spectacular!

With a carbon air intake placed right behind the driver, it is surely going to sound phenomenal. You're going to want to wear headphones for this one!

Would you pick the GT4 RS or the GT3? And Why?
Even though this isn't a manual like a GT3, I would take this GT4 RS ❤️
GT3. Not even close
GT3 all day long. But in truth I would rather have a GT3touring, the ride is nasty in a GT3, only been in the 991.1 model but my god it is harsh.
I would say GT4RS, reason is it's the more special car, a recipe we have been asking Porsche for decades to do it, a GT3 engine in a mid engine Cayman!!!!
Also what is special about this car it's one of best sounding cars from inside (there's no regulations inside) but outside there's regulations that hurts both of these...
Big question will be this or GT3RS and to me I will already say GT3RS for how crazy it will be!
I would pick up a Miami Blue GT4 RS with Weissach Pakette.
Thank you all for watching - it was certainly one of the best but busiest road trips I’ve ever done. Trying to visit plenty of locations, film them and get the mileage done in such a short space of time was quite the challenge (hence looking a little knackered in the museum!).
Those of you that have pointed out that this was was on the aluminium not magnesium wheels and aluminium not titanium cage are absolutely right - mea culpa. I hate getting things wrong, but at least it means the ride is fabulous even without the lightest rims!
Anyway, please do subscribe to the channel etc if you haven’t already - it really does help. Thank you.
Henry, you did it again.
Your 991.2 T review made me to buy one. Still got it and love it to the bone. Then the 718 GT4 video got me to the point to buy one for the track. Ok, meanwhile it's upgraded to a GT4MR. And now this. Man, i wasn't realy convinced with the order i placed for the GT4RS end of last year. The look doesn't grow on me and i heard and saw the car two weeks ago IRL at the ring and was - to be honest - truly disappointed about it.
After that smile after the launch i'm want that car so bad. 9 months to go.
Your reviews are truly the best out there. Thumbs up!
Brilliant work Henry, really smashing stuff if i do say so!
What i'm wondering is what that watch you're wearing is?
As glorious as driving the GT4RS must be, did you ever catch yourself thinking “I really must come back in summer and do these roads on the bike”?
Brilliant scoop getting to take the RS back to Germany, because even Andreas Preuninger said the GT4RS was not the sort of car you would choose to drive "from London to Liverpool." But, you drove even FURTHER and helped people like me understand what the seats and chassis and everything else would be like on an extended trip. The fact you said you would do it all over again was an endorsement. You even fitted in a 0-100 kmph test, realising 3.2 instead of Porsche claimed 3.4 secs (or did you do 0-60 mph which is very slightly shorter?). The standard wheels on this RS are IMO the best looking wheels Porsche have done, and certainly better than the expensive optional magnesium wheels. Great review and a great car, one that will put a smile on many faces, even if few can ever drive it.
Excellent film and review. After growing up reading mags for reviews, it’s hard to believe that car journalism of this niche and calibre could be free. Thanks ‘fection team.
Couldn't do it without your support!
I let all the adverts play right through and clicked on each one to let the YT algorithm reward Carfection for this quality of content as much as it possibly could.
It really is quality, isn't it? 👍
Friends at this difficult time need your little help to the Ukrainian army. Putin will be destroyed BTC: bc1qj88pa2lswmwgp2ukzd7n3tjwsxv7w0nkrevqte ETH: 0x9d6917b707e268EFBCF29E37728394F20Cc34CF8
uauauauauau
@@Carfection What is the width of the front wheel 8.5 inches or 9 inches ? I am assuming that the rear wheels are still 11 inches wide.
THE SOUND!
Can't believe there is a road named "NA 718". Superb detail for a video like this.
Damn! I wanted to write that!
The induction roar sounds unbelievable. Never heard anything like that in a GT3. Second only to an e46 M3 CSL I'd say.
This is a bucket list type of car. Just unbelievable engineering.
Fantastic video! Well done Henry and the team. Some great hairpin shots and you captured the engine symphony beautifully. Truly great work 👍👌
Thank you for the high praise
Where did you place the microphones for the engine sound? Sounds amazing!

Portugal and that Estoril track are the best. Trying not to be jealous, Mr. Catchpole and I'm failing.
Instant classic. GT4 RS is THE dream car.
All the TH-camrs drop the gt4rs on the same day, had to come to this channel first, then smoking tire.
It's a good day.
Thanks for checking our film out first!
@@Carfection it's my pleasure.
I was born 42 years ago in the incomparable city of Salamanca, and it has given me great satisfaction to see you driving this beautiful Cayman along Calle Balmes and Cuesta de Oviedo, two streets belonging to the historic center of my city. Regards and thanks for your visit.
Mate...this is genius automotive story telling. Thank you....and a big thanks to the photo and film and edit. Perfection!
Thank you Matty
Simply another level of car reviews, fantastic. You’ve captured what ownership of a GT4 RS should be, seeking adventures and experiences 👍🏽
Fantastic review Henry, well done… easily the best car journalist of today! The RS looks insane :)
Matt Farah is ok too. Anybody but that idiot Doug.
theres a lot of great ones w sensational production thankfully today- jason cammissa, chris harris, james & thomas from throttlehouse, matt watson, savagegeese, straightpipes for more casual etc
@@alalal123421 I can't stand TheStraightPipes. The rest you mentioned are great though.
This is what I love doing with cars. Driving them. Taking road trips in your current favorite car is such an amazing experience. Even if some of them are uncomfortable or inconvenient. Doing this type of thing will help you differentiate the feelings you get from each car. I believe this is the only way to own a car.
Very nice video gents. The time the RS set in Germany was not the real time IMO. They were sandbagging as they didn’t want it to be fester the GT3.
Terrific, absolutely terrific! I really enjoy the longer form reviews. Thanks you very much Henry and rest of the Carfection team for all your hard work in producing the very best automotive content available.
Just 2 corrections if I want to be picky on otherwise amazing video:
1. This car doesn't have the magnesium wheels, it have standard wheels.
2. The roll cage in this is aluminium not the titanium, the titanium doesn't come with blue color.
God you sound like a fun guy 😂
Ok picky guy
Always happy to see Henry on this channel reviewing the best cars like he's living every moment of it. Loved the review and love the car even more!
Henry, always appreciate your videos such a beautiful art. The quality of the sound on that windy road was music to my ears. Beautiful balance of ariel shots, in cabin and that sound 👌
Man, the deja vu beginning and end was brilliant! another fantastic review carfection! you guys are incredible, I'm consistently blown away by the work you put in, just astonishing quality rivaling top gear in production value.
What a machine! Lovely work, guys. Perfection from Carfection, as always! Also, that deja vu bit was epic haha.
Best car film I’ve seen in ages . Thanks!🙏🏼💚
Catchpole does it again. Another epic journey, in an epic car, with stunning photography (Camera crew rocks), and insightful commentary somehow presented in a simple yet cogent and emotive narrative. Props!
That induction sound with the ITBs & the mid-engine layout takes this engine's sound to a new level 😍
Oh yeah finally the Cayman gets the full RS treatment :D. This will be awesome Henry :)
We hope you like the film!
@@Carfection I did :)
Another incredible film by Carfection! Excellent review by Mr Catchpole again. Loved how he was smiling throughout the video and especially when he launched it to 60. The RS sounds awesome!! Would love to hear what it sounds like in the cabin in real life at 9000rpm.
Thank you for another well presented and amazing review.
Thanks for offering a different kind of video to all the rest and giving us additional insight into this incredible beast!
Fabulous drive - thank you for taking us along for the journey. A truly delightful vicarious experience.
Once again having watched all other videos on this car, carfection nail it with the level of detail. Almost feels like I’ve driven it !
As always, superb video ! Thanks for theses images and smiles !
Fantastic film, Henry & Carfection - thank you! Keep up the great work.
Superb video... you made me go back to watch the first 18 seconds again...
Beautiful keep the videos coming!
Fantastic vid, Henry et al, as always.
What a noise that thing makes - beautiful. Thank you gents!
Incredible car...Fabulous review. Thank you again Henry.
Henry, the more I watch your videos, them more I am convinced that you're currently at the apex of automotive journalism. Nothing gets close to Carfection these days, really. Keep up the great work!
Wonderful! Thanks again, Carfection.
Thank you. I watched the top gear video and it didn't have enough engine noise. Thanks for revving that engine for those of us that doesn't have the chance to hear it up close
One of my favourite pieces of automotive car testing video. Everything beautifully linked.
Love the epic road drive. More enjoyable to watch then any track day
As good as it gets. A car enthusiasts dream car driven by one of the very best car journalists ever. Once again Henry Catchpole presents in such a way that you feel you’re experiencing the car as you watch with just the right amount of everything included. Exquisitely shot too.
Absolutely brilliant.
Amazing video by Henry and the team
SOOOOOO GOOOD!!! How clever was that Deja Vu Intro!!! Loved it!
Excellent stuff Henry - the mucky result of that trip reminds me of the fly impacted Aston Martin Vantage review you did a few years ago up in the Highlands. A fitting last hurrah for the final piston powered Cayman.
fantastic video as always, better than all the other gt4rs reviews. Also I noticed the intake audio is significantly better on this review than all the others I have watched
Incredible production. Beautifully, elegantly cinematic but also fun and engaging to watch. Very happy to have seen Henry for all these years on TH-cam. But sad to miss out on seeing you and the car, as I know it was being tested in Estoril (50km away from me) but never would I have thought that I'd see the highway toll and name of my town (Alverca, 50k habitants aprox) in a Carfection video.
Mesmerizing! Feel like I'm there with my friend, cruising through Europe and talking about cars. Amazing viewing experience.
I have a Touring coming in June which will replace my 718 Spyder but man, this RS is giving me some serious goose bumps. Brilliant review as ever.
Thank you Dean! ☺️
What motivated you to swap? I have a 981 Spyder and have been eyeing a 991.2 Touring, but I don't think I could give up the convertible aspect.
@@DivergentAlexif it was practical, I would keep the Spyder too. It is, hands down, the best car I’ve ever driven. I’m sure the GT3 will be even better but I will miss convertible.
Content like this is truly the pinnacle of automotive journalism. Well done to all of you 👏👏👏
I set a reminder about this video from the Instagram story this morning, and it was well worth the wait. Amazing video, and what an amazing noise! How I wish I could've done the same trip...
Cheers Henry and crew, the video the car deserved, great work.
This is a masterpiece. I am not referring to the car, which also is, but to the film production. An excellent review, beautifully executed and engaging to watch
Thank you, Henry, and all the Carfection staff for making it possible.
Absolutely awesome video, loved it.
Please test more cars like this!
Henry god bless you and your team / the carfection channel are the best. You make me feel like a kid beaming with excitement every time I see you release a new video and one that is exciting as this. Take care. And thank you.
This is the best piece of car journalism I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing.
Amazing video. Henry what an incredible review.
Awesome, Porsche. Great road trip and review, Henry.
My oh my, Mr. Catchpole - how you do such an excellent job at getting the GT3's engine to bark. Such a lovely sound it is. Thank you!
Titanium exhausts Dirrrty in Sound and Appearance!!absolutely Brilliant Thank you Again Henry :)
epic production. Probably the best review I've seen.
Fantastic. Some of the best work ever from all involved !
just, THE CAR, THE SOUND, THE SOUL, THE PERFORMANCE.....THE PERFECTION.
Thanks for the sound track Henry. Great choice of roads. That car is very well behaved when sliding, and it is mid engine which makes the setup even more important and the control more surprising.
Brilliant take on this GT4 RS report! Different in perspective. Different in style. Different in information given to the viewers. This comes from a motor journalist (25 years in the business) and a hard-core Porsche fan (owning a 911 SC Strosek). I always liked your reports, but this one was out of this world! Looking forward to driving the car later this summer. Thank you, Henry!
First review I always watch, great work Henry and team as always
Pure joy for the car enthousiast. Thanks Henry and team.
You're welcome ☺️
Henry never fails to deliver regardless of the vehicle, Wonderful channel.
Great work on your video and the 718 Road..that road is what's that car is ment for..great information ..thankyou so much
As always, brilliantly written sir! Thank you Porsche for these amazing cars for enthusiasts.
I always absolutely enjoy your commentary - especially with Porsches, as they’re my favourite - it’s like you’re describing it exactly as it would be going through my head if I were experiencing the test drive myself, only with a British accent…..!?
Fabulous review and fascinating journey and what a brilliant car. Porsche are just so smart, brilliant engineering and beautiful cars. Thank you very much Mr Catchpole!
This channel is the odd yet perfect combination of Top Gear style cinematography combined with Netflix documentary styled relaxing commentary and review
Epic car, awesome video & driving - Thank you!
Stunning. Those blips on the downshifts 😍
Great video and love the intro idea when linked with the ending. Fantastic car too.
Possibly your best video yet. And boy is that saying summat. Sensational. Like the car.
So glad to hear you enjoyed its handling through the mountain roads with the PCCB brakes with the standard aluminum wheels which add 10 Kg over the weight savings with the optional magnesium wheels. Now I know I can get the car without the Weissach package which is required to get the magnesium wheels. Great video as usual Henry.
You will regret not taking the W-pack ……
Seems like it will be another great GT car from Porsche. However, very few will be able to get one, even if they can afford it. In the US, the bulls**t games that dealers play with lists and markups ($100k over sticker is normal for a GT3) will just make it nearly impossible, despite Porsche claiming "anyone who wants one will be able to order one". Sorry, just doesn't happen. The dealers will burn their allocations on their own floor models, charge 50-100% more, and make you think they are doing you a favor.
Sad times.
Well said. I'm not making anyone rich and I'm certainly not giving a dealership that much free money. They can take it and shove it.
Yes good point on that.
Even for people who want them to drive, how many will actually take them to track days that much? Most track days are full of Caterhams, Elises, modified MX5 / Fiesta ST etc, these RS Porsches used to be there more but are people worrying about resale value even if not flipping them.
A victim of its own success? Great engineering though.
100% even if it’s a three year production I don’t see myself being able to get one.
100k over sticker ? Lol I mean the the dealer knows my dad n hes never paid a penny over msrp but hes no 1 special ( besides the fact that hes my dad ) NEVER PAY OVER MSRP I wouldn't but of course my educations not special lol
@@shawnhicks9838 - Porsche dealers favor non flipping customers. If your dad is purely a collector and a good customre, he will get all the new GT cars at MSRP.
Great vid Henry 👍💪🏼
Beautiful vid man!
Love that ending. Nice one
Really a fantastic review, well done ! I thoroughly enjoyed it and loved the historical references.
Nice work as always Henry and Carfection, you could say: a sense of Deja Vu...
The best review of this car to date!
Just like the execution of the RS from Porsche, Mr. Catchpole also exceeded my expectations to write an intelligent and so flipping awesome story around this car and his journey back to Stuttgart!
Although English is not my mother tongue I’d always rather prefer reading and listening to Mr. Catchpole instead of all the other German reviewers that always seem to be too technical in their speech. Congrats, this was truly awesome to watch!
Simply on another level with the production, writing and filming for car that's on another level. Great work! If only I had a chance to buy one.
again great filming, congrats
Great stuff! Thank you!
Epic review, epic car, great work as always…. 😎👌🏁
What a plot twist at the end... loved the video and story telling:)!
Thank you Carfection for this fabulous review of the Porsche GT4 RS. Everything about this video is sheer perfection.......the beautiful scenery, stunning roads, a very professional review, high production standards and not forgetting the car itself!
This GT4 RS will go down in history as one of the all time greatest Porsches ever made.
I want one, NOW!
When a new car of note launches, I flick straight to this channel first. It sets the benchmark. So good, Henry!
Catchpole has rightfully become one of my modern day heroes, and it’s a short list. Well done!
Nice video, thanks for dropping it online :)
What a nice film! Excellent job.
Thanks! I love all of Porsche's GT models
Those gold rims look absolutely spectacular. I've always loved those gold colored rims harkening back to the black colored Lamborghini Countach with gold rims I used to see in Daytona Beach, FL in my younger days.
Excellent work Mister Catchpole.
Came straight from your Python green review. 😉
Excellent review and quite an engaging video
Lovely video, and it’s a fantastic little story in regard to why it actually started with the 981! I could watch and listen to stuff like this all day. Unless I’m handed the keys to this masterpiece, of course.
That face @6.18 says it all. Another epic carfection film. Well done Henry.
