Porsche Cayman GT4 vs. Lamborghini Aventador SV Nordschleife//.

Me trying to keep up with a cool Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV in my brand new Porsche 981 Cayman GT4.
My laptime was 7:58" BTG. There were a couple of time where I could have passed him but I chose not to take any risks and keep him in front of me.
I was so excited that I forgot to put on my right glove! :)
Dale Lomas from BridgeToGantry.com was just behind me the whole time while driving the BMW Ring Taxi.
Be sure to check out the footage from him driving behind me! • RING BATTLE: Aventador...
This sure was a once in a lifetime experience!
It was my first time at the ring with my new brand new Cayman GT4.
What a machine!
My Cayman GT4 is 100% stock with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tyres.

[@roland303808]

The guy in the Aventador drives better than at least 80% of all Lambo owners.

[@randomrandom5740]

Ro808 you mean 99% Most of them have lambos just to flex on meets and nightclubs and a small portion of those rips it seldomly on highways

[@paulohanlon714]

So, my conclusion. Both the Porsche and Lamborghini drivers drive like talented lunatics, both have a lot of money, both have awesome cars and both have big balls!!!!!

[@arsalan7772]

Unbelievable how a 420 HP Porsche could stay up with the 700 HP Lamborghini. You are an amazing driver, and, since you are driving a manual, you have my respect.

[@llavero5]

Times are 6:59 vs 7:40, so you cant know if Lambo driver is relaxed and GT4 is 100%, probably the same result with a 420HP Lambo vs 700HP Porsche. Respect for manual? what about power steering?

[@alexk3469]

420hp that does 190mph the bhp is a illusion

Cayman driver propably knows the track better and its easier to drive behind. Might be better driver aswell

[@truthkeeperfilms]

There is NOTHING that can match the overall package a Porsche offers. Its a reliable enough for daily use, its comfortable enough for long drives yet its sporty enough to also hit the tracks and keep up with the best sports cars and super cars out there. Amazing power from that notoriously strong and reliable Flat-6, with legendary Porsche transmissions solid and true. Its price tags are why they cost so much. Interior quality is 2nd to none, design is timeless, and it keeps its value forever.

[@miroslav1098]

Very well said, all is true. ''There is no substitute".

[@ACERASPIRE1]

Whats your basis for them rather bold statements?

[@Francoberry]

Weird that everyone thinks owning a high performance car means you must drive it on the limit all the time. Lambo owner is enjoying their car, Porsche owner is enjoying theirs. It's not a competition

Thats not the meaning of word “versus”

Hi!

[@John-hw3ds]

Nice driving! The Cayman really looked like it was handling the track much better than the Lambo. But that acceleration from the Lambo is brutal!

[@timonxDlol]

+John Gebo hmm lambo has a 6.59 laptime on the ring, so the handling cant be too bad^^

[@PhilUKNet]

Lambo gets away in a straight line, but the Cayman soon catches up on the bends. PDK is great technology, but it's nice seeing someone use a manual box properly - and it saves a lot of weight.

[@dltcdotus1]

I agree with the EVT 987, great driving. That was some awesome shifting too. I saw you almost go from 3rd to 2nd but felt it was wrong and went over to 4th. Nice catch. The engine would not have liked that. But that was some very impressive driving. I have watched a lot of laps from around the ring, and that was some nice driving and great lines. Especially with the traffic. You even had to back off the Lambo on that 2nd bad bumpy curve, he cut in front of you. He had a car in front of him and wanted that top line. I am impressed at how the Cayman GT4 was able to not let him get away. And it sounded AWESOME. KUDOS on the driving and your new car.

[@ldmcnutt]

dltcdotus1 my exact same thoughts!

[@Sabotagegamz7]

dltcdotus1 he had the downshift mode enabled thats why it was so smooth

[@LittleJ1337]

He has his high-beam on for the entire video lol, must've been super annoying for the Lambo infront

[@anishanand5419]

The GT4 sounds damn good. But, I mean the V12 howl from the SV is just amazing!

[@ghshrksidhc5460]

The Aventador is a faster car overall with it's high power output and AWD but You never really lose sight of it and are constantly chasing after him. Just goes to show the difference in driver skill level :))

[@hellobooom]

@@GJenks15 absolutely not, while one of my favourite cars, the GT4 is nowhere close to the Aventador SV over a whole lap, it's not even as quick as a base Huracan, which is to be expected at the power/price point.

[@kennpuhuxa]

This is how you drive, anyone can go fast on a straight road. This driver can push the limit of his car unlike Aventador’s

[@AutoEnthusedTV]

I was watching the vid from the M3 ring taxi and kept commenting to myself on how awesome that GT4 was staying on that SV's tail. Bravo!

it obviously shows that you get a better driving skill than the Aventador SV driver,with a manual gearbox and lower horsepower but still chasing close behind.Respect

[@kommentierenderkommentator2572]

Driving on a racetrack is less about power but about the handling. Of course the Lambo pretty likely handles nice as well. But Porsches GT Models are on another level there. Still I agree he has great skill to keep up!

[@itypedmynamehere1807]

@ 李子阳 the Aventador is a HUGE car. It’s not nimble. It takes far more skill to make that car go around curves like that than the Porsche.

[@edcunhaph]

bliglum Well, that M3 also has a powes advantage. Would like to see both cars go head 2 head!

[@bliglum]

edcunhaph Cayman GT4 385hp pushing 2,900lbs. BMW M3 414hp pushing 3,700lbs.. The lighter weight of the Cayman more than makes up for the slight power advantage... Considering the power to weight, with like for like drivers, the Cayman GT4 would smoke the M3! Might be a bit closer with the more powerful M4 though.

Congratulations, you are a better driver than the Lamborghini, and know your GT4 very well. Where the other slowed you accelerated. Although the Aventador is all wheel drive and has 365 horses more than the Cayman, or almost double, it is not able to keep pace and have gone from the beginning. Excellent, video, excellent purchase. Greetings from Barcelona Spain.

with his second glove he could beat the 7min laptime :-)

[@brentpowell7889]

To many different tangibles to make an informative appraisal of these cars and drivers, ultimately the Lamborghini is the quicker car in the right hands, however it depends on the drivers experience on the track , tyre condition, tyre pressures. Also the Lamborghini is probably 3 x the cost of the Porsche with a big excess on his insurance policy approx about 15% , around 55k if he runs out of talent and bins it, this element always focuses the mind and maybe a big reason why he’s driving at 8/10ths 👍

Considering the massive difference in power and price, that Porsche (as always) is incredible. If that track was mostly twisties, I bet it would have overtaken the Lambo. The Lambo really only pulled away on straights. That’s what a 911GT2 is for.

Great driving dude, you did yourself & the marque proud! There's no doubt that the Lambo is quicker on the straights but not by a huge amount but people underestimate how well balanced Porsche's are stock from the factory. With the GT models, they've been refined & lightened in a way similar to a fine Swiss watch which means the Cayman GT4 is without doubt one of the best driver's & handling car ever made! That's why on the bends, the Lambo struggles to pull away.

To be fair, the Porche was being driven to its limit where the Lambo. wasn't
