V6?? Inline 4?! What were smoking that day Jonny?
scotiasubie96 came to say this!!
It's known for its glorious sound and it everybody knows it sounded and reved so brilliantly because it was a flat 6 and not a V6!
Totally screwed it.
right!! WTF, respect just went down a few notches, like when someone says their bmw has a v6....
www.porsche.com/international/models/718/718-cayman-models/718-cayman-s/featuresandspecs/
It was a boxer 6, not a v6. Also a boxer 4, not an inline 4.
Not a boxer it's flat 6
Dylan Jenkins no it’s not
It's not the same thing, or rather, a flat engine can be a boxer, but also may not. But what is the crap above about this not being a boxer? Porsche definitely uses boxer engines, 4 and 6-cyl.
just like the 911 rsr isn't mid engined, it's just got the engine in front of the rear axle........ porsche makes up their own definitions, sorry if I don't care what they want it called

V6!!!! Inline 4 !! Where am I? It was a Flat 6, Now a Flat 4
5 seconds into the video, I’m like wtf? 🤣
"You want to marry this car." I love you Randy.
I hate the way you guys did these videos. Spoiled the surprise and ruined the suspense right away. I miss the old 1.5hr comprehensive videos
Agreed!
BlackBelt 2025 completely agree
100 percent they need to get that guy back or this channel is going to shit
Lately, their videos are more about the hosts and their antics instead of the actual cars
I agree that I want the longer comprehensive video (in addition to individual lap and review videos). But I don't know how they spoiled it "right away"? The winner wasn't spoiled until the 2nd to last video...
And they were no more about antics than any of the other popular automotive shows such as Top Gear, and The Grand Tour are. If anything they give more (correct) details about the car on this channel, and a more well rounded review.
No V6, no I4!!! You're the editor of motor trend and you're sticking V6s and I4s into mid-engined Porsches!? FIRED!
The 911's a legend, but I honestly prefer the looks of the newer Cayman to the 911.
"Ditched the normally aspirated V6 for a turbocharged inline 4" 😂😂
I guarantee he did that on purpose to troll a bit.. lol
Randy is such a great presenter/driver combination
When I saw this video I was excited enough because it was a 718 S. Then when I realized Randy was driving, I couldn't wait to hear his opinions!!
0:33 So much wrong...
0:32
0:31
0:30
0:29
"Inline 4"? its a horizontal 4
Greg Chang nah it's totally an upside down 4 cylinder
blame Jonny... he has a habit of saying the wrong thing and trying to look cool about it.
its called a flat 4
Its a b4 not a flat...
No its a flat 4 flat 6 flat 8 flat 12 all the way back to old ferrari.
B4 is an old subaru legacy model number pre EJ25 engine code, which is still a flat 4 EJ25
thanks anyways
Hey Johnny, if you’re watching, are you guys gonna do behind the scenes like you did last year when Carlos was in charge of Daily Fix on MT ONDEMAND ??? It was so exciting and cool to see it. Hope you continue to do that.
I'm not gonna lie when I glanced at the screenshot quickly I was all "didn't I just watch the 911 video earlier?" XD
If only it had the sound of the previous cayman. But a lovely car too, overall pretty darn great selection of cars for this years' best car competition.
iLupi needed a widebody hellcat in place of the Miata
Fantastic videos as always! Glad to see the Cayman kicking ass. The driving feel of Porsche's sports cars is literally second only to Ferrari's and the Motor Trend BDC competition ranking backs that up. The haters will claim that their selection is biased by brand prestige, but it is not. This $90k 4 cylinder Cayman would beat a $300k Lamborghini Huracan as a driver's car. Why? Because of the steering feel, brake feel, suspension set up and chassis feel. They just do it right!
Did anyone else think that they uploaded the 911 Turbo video twice?
V6 bs it was a flat 6 3.2L
981 Cayman S actually had a 3.4L flat 6, not a 3.2.
Marcus M boxer six
My reno thalia hawe 1.6l flat 4 it makes around 105 hp or 80kw.
He said V6. There was no "B" sound there.
He also said "inline 4" and it is a flat-4.
Does Randy do these tests with R Compound tires or is he laying down those sick laps on the factory tires?
Randy just watched your vid on 991.2 Turbo S then this one
Some what Contradicting.
I thought this was the same video as the 911 X3 Porsche's look to similar at a glance
Putting this car second brings into question are these the Best Driver's Car because that's what you drove this year, or the best driver's cars, period. I say this because everyone who's reviewed the current 718 says the previous 981 GTS was the car they liked better. It would be interesting see Motor Trend's take all the favorite driver's cars, regardless of production year, and crown an over all best driver's car.
Hi guys, i'm surprised Audi A3 RS wasn't part of this testing, would love to see how it stands up to other cars?
Amazing how similar is sounds to the one in Assetto Corsa
This is way late but I'm wondering what tires and pressures were used. The time here was almost the same as the R from 2011.
Please test the new Lotus 380 !
awesome car, but it's a shame it's price went sky high along the years
This and 488 are both new versions of cars that used to be naturally aspirated and sounded so good.
Sweet Johnny. Flat 6 and flat 4! No inline and no v6.
FYI Johnny mispoke in the intro, not an inline four
And not a V6...

Naturally aspirated V6? Inline 4????
Slick track, good number.
What does this type of place called? I also wanna drive my cayman alone on the road fast like this without using the break!!
Love its Subaru sound note :)
Wonderful steering? You should try a Lotus.
Johnny, the automatic Ats-V ran The lap in under 1:40.
None of my favorite cars this year were featured here. Ford GT, 720s, GT3 and Performante.
if you would of use the 20 sec power button would the lap time be any faster ? on the inline four lol
Randy's comments are consistent with his more relaxed handling of the car doing the lap compared to the ferrari
It was flat 6 or B6 (Boxer 6) and the current engine is a Flat-4, no Inline 4
Living in the future.
This actually deserved to win considering the 488 is 2 years old when this video came out
A great car with not a great time, but lap time is not everything.
The time you spend with a Cayman is quality time.
I like how the Porsche's navigation shows a satellite photo of the track.
Bag of bolts in line Boxer V6 - Turbo 4.
did he say V6.....and inline 4? And MT allows this?
are you high v6 and inline 4, its a porsche
So what's the dougscore ??
I still wanted to see the outcome of the crow vs squirrel. Need that closure!
What's the point though when the Turbo S is already in this comparison?
Where's the new gt3 at?
you know the Cayman never had a V6 right?
did you actually say V6 & inline 4?
Thanas Stefanis V that's what's under my hood lol
This?
Better than a 911 Turbo S?
This Cayman is great, but I prefer the sound of the 6 cyl. engine which is more classical like the ones on the 911's
V6? Inline 4?
You know the car means serious business if randy forgets to talk :D
So the ferrari is No.1 ?
V6 and Inline-4??? Really??? Anyway, I think that it wasn't necessary for the Boxsman (or Coxster! Haha!) to gain on power! There's the sweet handling to take advantage of if you want to go fast! But now all the great noises are lost! The engine change didn't make the Coxster a better sports car!
Randy a hilarious
the cayman before the 911 turbo S? 5 seconds slower¡¡ are you mad? can not believe it.
inline four?????????
OMG.....The cayman S is $20,385 MORE expensive than the ZL-1 1LE.
Yea but it’s not made out of plastic.
V6? Inline 4? Really?
Gr8 b8 M8, I r8 8/8.
Man are the fish biting today or what?
Love Randy. The girlfriend/rabbit comment cracked me up.
Where is the gt3 and the performante that would have been the cars I really wanted to see 😕
v6 and inline 4 , OMG
Powered by a 2.5L Boxer-4 engine with a VTG-Turbocharger
Holy Shit Jonny, I'm a big supporter of yours but you have really opened up the doors for some whoop ass comments on your Porsche engine quotes..... how does that happen from a car guy?????
Where is the Tesla? Why is it Motor Trend never runs lap times with Teslas?
Johny, you need to re-upload this video without this BS about engine layout.
As well as screwing the V6 and inline 4 he says they did not have enough power. This is wrong to, they had enough, but not enough for the silly long gearing
Inline 4? V6? Are you taking drugs?
0:33 pretty much sums up motortrend.
i hate that i love this car.... that engine is killing me.
went from a n/a V6 to a inline 4. UUUUUUHHHHHH???? Johnny Johnny.
Johnny knew he fucked up as soon as he saw this video.
price as tested, $95k? holy crap
Honfy Lam yeah it's pretty absurd.. but it also does 0-60 in 3.6 seconds which is unheard of and insane for such a low powered car. It's also a very capable track car so the 95k price is somewhat understandable.
Even though it's a turbo nutter, I still like it.
THOSE DAMN ITALIANS
V6 before the flat4 ... oh guys...flat6 boxer engine and now flat 4 turboboxer
The guy narrating at the start hasn't a clue but max respect to Randy Pobst who is pretty cool....even though he's American..lol
Wow....learn your engines. It *was* a flat 6, and is now a flat 4. This is Porsche, one of two manufacturers that use H pattern engines.
Gt86 has a Toyota badge on it.
Jake warren
Subaru manufactures the engines.
Yes.
nice subaru
Why do the rolling shots look like it's from a video game? Randy's run it was foggy out. The rolling shots it's showing blue sky's
..If they used the manual...It would have been first, HUGE difference in fun factor.
He wrong about it beating ats v
They ran 140.6 in manual car and 139.5 in auto
Ferrari F360 front looking @2:47
These turbo 4 Caymans and Boxsters are tanking in the marketplace, though. Porsche numbers show them selling at about half the rate this year of the previous flat 6 cars, and dealer discounts and lease specials are everywhere.
993mike
Yes that's mean I can get one for cheap but wait I do like my 981 s sound. LMAO
v6 to inline 4, that hurt. baad
Happy to see a Cayman doing well overall. But I much prefer the old 981. Much better sound, better looks and overall a nicer engine. So glad I have one of those.
so would this have been first if it was a naturally aspirated flat 6 like before? LOL
I think someone new got employed at the script writing department, he definitely has to work on his car knowledge
That's flat 6 and flat 4 Johnny
listen to that subaru rumble.... ;-)
On another note, to make this car PERFECT ... make a GT4 version with a tiny bit more HP, and all wheel steering.
Its not inline 4,it is flat 4 still
I imagine this car is one dyno tune away from destroying a track.
You can get 400+ HP to the wheels with a simple APR tune. Unreal!
V6 ?? Huh? Inline 4??
V6??? Inline 4?? Seems like Jonny got drunk or something
Flat 4
