Henry Catchpole, the Shakespeare of the car world.
I like to think that Shakespeare was the Henry Catchpole of Literature !
manojh sangar, Amen!
He and Chris Harris are head and shoulders above the rest.
That was the perfect closing line
@@WDLC1911 Jethro Bovingdon, and Richard Meaden are absolutely exceptional in their own right as well :)
guy wheeler, true! I feel bad forgetting Meaden.
Thanks for the reminder.
Porsche really knows how to make cars that I want but can't afford
James Buckey best Porsche is used Porsche.
@@Patryk_Luna best used Porsche is Porsche that as been used as used Porsche used to be used
986S will be good enough for me.
@@pauln1590 Best used to be used porsche is porsche that is used to be used as used porsche
this isnt even crazy expensive. its like two Golfs.
Cheers to Porsche for developing another drivers car that will be the talk of the year amongst its past siblings
catchpole didn't talk about the ultra long gear ratios = 140 km/h in second, 190 km/h in third gear. You can't use the gear lever properly. You are forced to short shift to not break the law, lose your driving license and go to jail with this shit engineering made by porsche. The purpose of a manual gear box is to use it a lot. With this car you drive in second gear all the time. You bunch of novices, blind fanboys without knowledge.
Lenso Prezole - Are you angry, babes?
@@lensoprezole5322 I used to hear that going back to the older 4.0s from the previous gen or two. They're geared high so they don't out-accelerate/compete with the much more expensive 911.
I don't know if it's "shit engineering" so much as intentionally neutering it, but you could always change the final drive ratio.

@@lensoprezole5322 people shit on the long gearing all the time, where have you been? It’s a big handicap but the rest of the car makes up for it. Did you forget that the 911 has practically the same gearing? With these 4.0 motors it’s less of an issue
Henry in a new flat 6 powered 718 chassis? I've never clicked so fast.
Same! Considering how much he loved the Boxster GTS 981, this was going to be sweet 😊
Harry, from Harry's Garage, is more os a must-cilck... ;-)
Henry is almost poetic in his delivery, I for one would love for carfection to be broadcasted on TV, beats any car show out there by a long way
TV is dead. I like them where they are.
The HD out of my PC goes to my TV. No need for this to go anywhere else, it's freely available here for everyone!
@@joshb3929 haven't watched TV for 7 years....
Who watches TV nowadays.
Imagine Henry and Chris Harris working together. Would be perfect.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the analogy with the National Theatre at the end! Hats off, Mr. Catchpole! 🎩
I appreciated that one, yes.
The roof going up and down scene was just genius
4:42 I love the time and effort Carfection put into editing these videos! We're all here cause we love cars, but the creativity you put into these videos, while maintaining all content we need to know is unmatched (IMO).
The only review I've seen so far that focuses on the Spyder/GTS comparison... right to the heart of the matter!
Honestly... before watching any of your videos, I prepare myself a cup of coffee, turn my phone to "don't bother" mode, get comfortable, go to my room, put on the headphones, and just starting watching the masterpiece.
This is what I’m hear for. Supreme work as always by Henry and the production team!
Wow. What a fantastically well put together review. Can't get enough of these. Keep it up!
Yes very good review. Felt like I was along for the ride with you through the twisties and nice whipping by countryside and exhaust notes to boot ! 👍✔️
That’s what I call a car review. Prose and pictures = perfection.
Definitely one of your best videos yet. Loved the ending, it really wrapped it up in a nice bow.
Notice how he called it the understudy at the beginning. Nice circularity.
Very whimsical, Carfection. I like the film work and it's an unexpected (although appreciated) addition to a car review. Nice work!
absolutely always enjoy watching these videos. Always informative, entertaining.
Another fabulous review, thank you for not wasting time with anything but how well the car drives.
Thanks a lot Henry Catchpole and Carfection! The Macan GTS was cool, but this is the review I have been waiting for!!
Always look forward to a Carfection video. I am a little in love with the 718 GTS as I miss my 981s. Really great production and quality journalism.
I love all of Henry’s films but this one was just brilliant. Good work from everyone involved
I'm not sure anyone else is making better car review content at the moment. Henry Catchpole is always a treat but the relaxed nature of the videos are just so watchable, plus the most important part is always just right; The car is shown, and heard, clearly and beautifully. Not overly edited. No loud music covering up the engine sound.
Well done.
Gosh I love this channel. Truly underrated. What a great review.
Congratulations to 1M subscribers! I’ve been watching and will watch this video once every few days until my 4.0 arrives at the dealer around June!
Another fantastic video. Great cinematography and Henry is great as always.
Keep it up guys.
No other review needed, cheers Henry you smashed it again 👍
Another great, entertaining, educational and classy review Henry!
Another masterful presentation Henry, lovely work mate. 👍🏼
Henry has so much class reviewing these cars and really appreciating them
I like the change up of editing in this video. Very tastefully done
Not being a Porsche fan I still have to watch because the review is so well presented and produced! Well done Carfection!
I keep watching this because I’v ordered one - due in September. But….the way Henry reviews it is extraordinary!! A car review genius!!
Once again you can't go wrong with a carfection review. Add to that, the best car journalist in the world, Henry Catchpole, and you have a masterpiece!
Every time I watch Carfection, I'm pleased that we have that to ourselves and not to mainstream television...
Amazing machine👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Also amazing review, as always👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
love the conclusion. Lovely video as always!
You do amazing reviews ! I'm taking notes to learn!
The Mallorca 981 gts that You did years ago is one of the best emotional building cinematic, breath taking review car video on TH-cam. I go back to it every now and then since day 1 I saw it.
Wonderfully poetic Henry. Super work lads :)
One of the best car reviewers on the net. Gets straight on with the business, how the car drives. Well done sir.
Great review looks like an amazing car, good job Porsche! Thank you guys great work great video!
Excellent context as always and great reference to Olivier and Hopkins.
Another Stella video guys, just on another level! So glad Porsche have listened to their customers (and lack of Boxster/Cayman sales) Sounds like the perfect mix of Boxster, throw some PS4S's on it and away you go 👌
There is somewhat magic to Henry's words..a brilliant match of action & prose
Great review, Carfection team! This is what I have been praying for - deposit going down!
Finally a n/a flat 6 in the Boxster / Cayman that is attainable.
As always brilliant review by Mr.Catchpole!
Wow was not expecting such high quality of a video
Great video. Loved every moment
Wow, what an eloquent outro! Cheers! Subscribed!
very nice production, great video man
Another great review from Henry (complete with an erudite ending). Who else was hoping he’d jump in the 904?
So good. Absolutely brilliant review
Probably my favorite car reviewer, great video.
As always, brilliant video, my only complaint, please do more
amazing review, well done!
Man! your one of the best car journalist, I have ever seen.👏👏👏
Check out Jethro's stuff bro. It's less trying to be witty and more on point about the cars and driving experience.
Fantastic review!
Great review, informative and I really enjoy the humour :-)
Smashed it. You guys and Porsche!
Just watched 6 718 GTS videos. Saved this one for last in anticipation of the best visuals, but it was actually the best review as well.
Porsche is quite genius. They kill off the six cylinder GTS and make it a four cylinder for the same price. Then they are revered as hero's when they bring th NA 6 cylinder back and charge way more for it. The Porsche way
*Finally, the right engine and the right transmission in the 718 Porsche!🙏👏🤝👍*
Another artistic review. Thank you
As usual, beautifully written and presented. Cheers for that! Regarding the GTS, now that I've seen the 718 Spyder, it's a challenge to ignore its aesthetic superiority over the understudy. Additionally, I can only imagine how difficult it would be if I'd also driven it first.
edit was on point. beautiful
Awesome video and even better presenter.... Kudos
Brilliant Henry, as usual.
A little bit underwhelmed after the breathtaking videos that you have produced in recent months and spoiled us with, I thought that the potential next car of the year would get one of your more refined edits. That said, it was still enjoyable so, thank you. A special thank you to Mr. Henry Catchpole who is always a pleasure to listen to. Edit: Perhaps some of your finer music tracks injections would have helped transform this great review into one of your absolute best.
Good review. Looks like a great car. A big improvement over the turbo charged 718 Boxster GTS engine.
Night and day....
@Mr.BigBoss7 Easily to fix, put a sharkwerks on!
But slower.....
4 cylinder 718 Subaru sounding like the worst buy of 2018/19
Muleya Sialwiindi exactly ... I don’t know about you but I love turbo motors. I drive a straight 6 turbo motor (N55) and I love the turbo midrange thrust. Can’t beat that, sounds good (not great like this) also.
You make decision making so much easier! Many thanks.Henry are you up for a lunch in the UK when I visit next from Australia?
it's good to watch the guys who create my car taste since old hard covered magazine days.
Great review. Porsche has made a great driver's car. That engine sounds perfect.
Wow, that color is stunning!
Magic analogy at the end
4:38 ...and that you can open the boot with the top up. Carfection, well named and superbly presented.
Great review, love it.
Still loving your style Mr Catchpole! Tremendous!
I've tried to follow you down a Welch B road before and know from this footage that not many people would have driven this car harder than you to gain proper road driving feedback. Think you should order one!!
Great review as always. One small correction, the 904 doesn’t have steel ladder chassis, it has a steel backbone.
Great video as always.👍🇬🇧
Henry once again another masterpiece car review. How do you do it? Praise the 4.0 but yet still makes those that ordered a Spyder feel positive about having ordered one, - brilliant. Congratulations to those who are ordering a 4.0 - it is a fantastic car. As a former 981 GTS owner I’m happy they have brought the 6 back. Looking forward to seeing Henry driving the new Spyder or this GTS in his series “driving the best roads in the world.” Like he did in the last 981 Spyder and Boxster. I enjoy every car review Henry does. One of the best in the business. Cheers.
Very kind. Thank you.
Henry Catchpole Anyone who can invoke the Dance of Death, the National Theatre and both Sir Laurence Olivier and Sir Anthony Hopkins to answer “the question” in a car review video and has us thoroughly engaged throughout, deserves our praise . I have owned many great sports car but the Gt4 Spyder, er, 718 will be my last. I have asked this question on other forums and yet to hear a reply so will ask it again. Can you name a car company other than Porsche who is currently producing a mid engine, NASP, manual, convertible - Ferrari,Lamborghini,, Aston Martin Alfa, Maserati, Audi, Lotus, Alpine , Ford , Chevy ., Acura or any other Japanese manufacturer - short answer is no. Seriously I am interested to know if there is a manufacturer checking these boxes or if the Porsche is a unicorn. So I’m delighted to be getting the new Spyder and being my last ICE sports car will drive into the sunset, top down, and of course rowing my own gears. Happy motoring 😀👍
Great review. You were made to do this!
Brilliant video 👍
Brilliant take on the gts 4.0 !
Great review 👍
This is it boys. This is the one to have. The sweet spot.
Well done Henry. Well done Porsche.
Great job boys!!
Nice review and video. How in the world do you get such great camera shots-from the woods, just off the front bumper, etc???
HC is my fav car journalist another excellent review
Carfection, and new media in general, shows that when you lower the barrier to entry, you increase the sophistication of the content. Paradoxical, and something I think nobody would have believed 30 years ago. But I sure am glad things turned out the way they did. Good stuff guys.
It may be pointless watching all the expensive car reviews cause I'm not able to buy a Porsche, but listening to a man really enjoying a car and driving with it is great. It's an excellent review once again. What I am missing on a lot of other review channels is the passion, they just talk about numbers and new unnecessary features you get nowadays. For me, driving is all about emotions, that's why I'm happy with my 200hp Gt86. It's sad most people don't get this.
Wow! You blow Top Gear out of the water! Amazing content, on this type of cars I prefer this channel to Carwow
Drive this exact model with a PDK at Porsche Performance Drives and your closing mark couldn’t have been said better!! I would take one of these home in a heartbeat!
Genuinely, I could spend hours listening to Henry Catchpole, even if he was just reading out entries from the 'high-weight paper and card' section of the Viking stationery catalogue.
Great video as always! Informative, fun, and very well edited.
We all know that moment, sipping your coffee on a terrace, looking at your car. And then Henry does it. At 5:00. LOL. His way.
This was the review I was waiting for even though several other channels uploaded GTS reviews first. Mr. Catchpole's perspective is just better.
Exactly, this is the one I was wanting to see first 😊
This review is a class act Henry, the 904 mention is the icing on the cake too
Btw just this afternoon i collected my new 718 Spyder
Watching carfection is better then top gear
agreed..!!!
I really feel better watching Henry’s videos. He tells his friend, the viewer, about a car in such a Britishly impish way, matched with beautiful scenery and camerawork. It reminds me of Tiff showing us how the luggage fits in the McLaren F1. This video feels Needell inspired when he’s sipping espresso in hand at a trackside “cafe.” But also when he’s just enjoying its gear lever, balance, limits, and looks. Well done, Mr. Catchpole 👏
Big like and respect for Henry Catchpole from Ukraine!!!!
