Driving the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS in the wet ! - The best drivers car EVER ?!

[@skydance2012]

I picked up my GT4RS yesterday after waiting 8 years from deposit! Yes 8 years. The layers of harmonic's from all the KZbin vids I watched don't reproduce on laptops and phones. I can't believe the sounds at low RPM this car is producing (engine break in), it's altogether unique in the auto world of my garage. I have an old high rev V12 & V8 in my garage but this GT4RS is far and away the best of engine entertainment. Great video!! You did a fantastic job talking viewers into the unworldly engine sounds and entertainment you experienced on your drive.

[@PetrolPed]

You lucky thing 👌👏👏

[@888mf4]

8 years??

[@Molloy1951]

How come 8 foocking years?!

[@ToGoPhilippines-uz1qe]

8 years because I put a deposit on the GT4RS before Porsche formally announced production. I wanted to be first in line, I received it first😃

[@MrRoyck10]

The Porsche GT4 RS evokes emotions better than a GT3, what a raw machine with epic mechanical engine sound, thanks Pete for sharing.

[@PetrolPed]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@kevincross9206]

Definitely a cracking soundtrack to drive to, who'd want a radio!!

[@PetrolPed]

Exactly 👍

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

Magnificent car indeed with a glorious sound, is it the best drivers car ever? It’s difficult to say but it’s certainly a main contender, excellent Video PG - thanks ! - RB

[@PetrolPed]

Cheers Roger (Mr Porsche 😜)

[@mgmarrison]

Great video once again! The fact you’ve been offered this car to review just shows how far the channel has come and continues to grow. Those provocations raised recently about KZbin being tough and video views slowing down… here’s proof things are going well 👏🙌

[@PetrolPed]

I have a great relationship with Porsche 👍

[@richardkennett4086]

What a day, morning fun in the GT4 RS, evening drive home on a GT3 Touring. What a week. For most that is a dream level never likely to be repeated! Well done Pete. Great work!

[@PetrolPed]

Pretty special week 👍

[@DM-MayBee]

You have got your Mojo Back PP ...... Fantastic review, thoroughly enjoyed your experience and insight into this amazing car. Please please keep this type and style of content coming to us all.

[@PetrolPed]

Will do 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Yep…this is right up your street 😜😂

[@firdaushanapiah7691]

Only the Brits would say this😂❤

[@guylambrechts2303]

The end scene made it even better! What a car. I'd say that no 911 can top this but fanatics might disagree on that.

[@PetrolPed]

I’d agree. Mid engined verses rear engined 👍

[@markscars1069]

Appreciate the editing effort you expend in these vids. The narrative over the clips of the engine bay and boot storage is notable.

[@coltoncleveringa8004]

What a EPIC car and sounding car!! I’ll have to agree it sounds amazing Sir Pete!! Thanks for sharing this with us. I love the black and yellow color setup of this car. I’ve been a fan of the Porsche Cayman since I’ve liked cars lol. So this is just the one to have! Fantastic video Sir Pete!!

[@PetrolPed]

The ultimate Cayman 👍

[@francoisg3500]

Evening all!! Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.

[@PetrolPed]

Morning. 😜👍

[@timverrall5762]

I’m amazed you could get in the car Pete as your grin was so wide. What a sound. Every man’s dream

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@simongibbs3936]

Huge Porsche fan so great video, thanks. Only had very limited time driving GT products but I think they are very desirable toys. As a car that is used regularly I would take your GTS. If I had a GT4 RS in the garage for special drives and track days so much the better!

[@kevinnunn1]

Wow what another great video & that beautiful yellow GT4RS is a well used & extremely high mileage & well travelled Porsche 718 Cayman & been very well broadcasted upon many other UTube channels too.

[@omarr6021]

Thanks Ped for great video ,,,,the car is very emotional and believe in few years when most cars in the street are EVs the GT4RS will remind us the glorious days of Naturally Aspirated engine , and mechanical engineering at its peak

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@philipparkes5682]

Hi Ped Thanks for the brief ride🤗 Another fabulous GT car from Porsche, a classic already, and financial residual almost guaranteed. Daily driver no, but if one could find and afford one, it would be second or third car reserved for track days or sprints.Hope you have more luck with the weather but forecast not goog.🤭

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Philip 👍

[@stevewallace1387]

Beautiful car only thing I would change is I would like rhe bonnet to be yellow as well I can dream lol

[@PetrolPed]

The black exposed carbon bonnet is part of the Weissack Pack. Don’t spec that and it will be body colour 👍

[@alasdairwilson4806]

That car is a wild howling animal.Sounds great though. Excellent vid as always.Glad you put the brave pants on for this one.Ultimate weekend track day car I think.

[@trev8591]

An automotive orchestral weapon. The sound! What a thing!

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@GRfourfun]

Unless I win the lottery I will never ever even get the chance to drive a GT4RS, but thank you for letting me experience it through your review. Absolutely epic car and I’d say the only person cringing watching it is Porsche GB’s detailer 😂😂😂😉

[@PetrolPed]

I’m sure they have received worse condition cars back 😬😂😂

[@grahamwest1079]

Looked like a fun handful and sounds lovely. Little bit out of my price range though ☺️

[@PetrolPed]

And mine 😂

[@cinqiwc]

Awesome car and video. Too bad it was so wet, I hope you can have another drive in better conditions in the future. Rumors are there will be a Spyder version, that would even be more stunning!

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks mate 👍

[@888mf4]

Incredible car from Porsche

[@PetrolPed]

Yep 👍

[@keithmyerscough9900]

Running out of room in my dream car garage Pete , another cracking car and if your going to shout, shout loud racing banana yellow and black looks good , 👍👍👍👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

Oh yes 🙌

[@baronblimey]

Awesome content. Well done on getting back alive........

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks 😂😂😂

[@markwalton8644]

The Sound of that Engine is Glorious!! I do wonder to live with, the GT3 touring would be a better trade off. Also why Porsche only allow certain individuals with GT buying experience to buy one is a really kick in the privates and that lottery winning ticket won't get you one of these is bad! It would put me off buying a Porsche on these grounds and just buy a McLaren ( if I had the money) instead!!

[@PetrolPed]

It is very hard core that’s for sure 👍

[@stevie007]

Hi Peds 🙏 Looking forward to this one mate 👍👍

[@PetrolPed]

Hi 👋

[@andrewkb5211]

Decades from now when most people will have EVs, hopefully they will come across this video and comphrend why there were "petrolheads" who loved ICE cars. When you turn the key it becomes a glorious sounding, living thing. Just brilliant.

[@PetrolPed]

Very true 👍

[@1BLUEMEANIE]

I can vouch for the sound at 9k rpm 👍😉what a car a Great review Pete

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@paguk2000]

Hi Pete OMG what a sound almost a good as the f1 v12s from yesteryear.

[@andrewwales2405]

OMG Pete I know those roads well ! What an experience great video 😅

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Andrew 👍

[@HQBProductions]

Wonderful…maybe not every day though. Harry M measured it at 118 decibels which is on the threshold of hearing damage! Impossible to buy now and always will be so most will sit in garages and barely driven….maybe a 911 GTS is more of a reality….in theory! I’m looking forward to the GT3 though…on my “lottery list”! Drive safe! Richard😀😀😀😀😀

[@ianbanister2027]

Porsche central.... Boxster GTS in the garage & a Cayman GT RS + a 911 GT3 Touring as loaners..... Another world..... what next 😄

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂

[@mikestewart7322]

Fantastic car that’s for sure. Saw Harry Metcalfs recent vid where he measured the decibels inside the car. You should use some ear protection at those noise levels. Don’t quite get the huge crack in the rear screen, is that a vibration issue, surely not, so some clumsy sod has done something silly. Why hasn’t Porsche GB changed it out? Don’t think it sends out a good message. You’re braver than me that’s for sure giving it the big un in those conditions and turning off the tc etc. great stuff mat?👍🏻

[@mikestewart7322]

Mate

[@PetrolPed]

They are aware of the crack and are waiting for the part to arrive from Germany. Not sure of the cause. I didn’t switch anything off 😂

[@s10lucky]

Where am I now?? Sat in the Tesla outside the pub waiting for my mate for our Saturday beer watching this video on the Tesla screen 😂. Great video and such an epic car 👍

Very cool 👌

[@footey7670]

That is an absolutely wicked car Pete !!! Love the Porsche marque 👍🏻🍻🇨🇦

It sure is 👍

[@stevewallace1387]

[@garyf9897]

Hi Pete. Great video - you've come to a similar conclusion to many I think. Have my name on the (no doubt long!) GT4 RS list with my OPC. Currently in a GTS 4.0. Would I buy if I got the chance? Yes, of course - it is the first and last of its kind……. and the ownership financials alone would make sense. Would it make a better car for general road driving than what I am in now - no probably not. For track days and road trips it would be a dream. However, I think the ownership dynamics would be quite different with this as it is such an exclusive car and still haven't quite got my head around what I might feel about that. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@PetrolPed]

Thanks Gary. I’ll keep my fingers crossed for you 👍

[@johns14a]

Great car but only really of use if you do a lot of track work. The 992 GT3 Touring is more my kind of thing though.

[@Nord_Mann]

Strange thing is, the GT4RS is actually more compliant and better suited for road driving than the overly stiff GT3. And the layout is to me much more exciting. Check out @viola_gt4rs

[@Spyder_Tours]

So jealous, I’m desperate to have a drive in one 🙌 great vid 👍

[@MrGMawson2438]

[@Nord_Mann]

Be careful!!! I scared the bejesus out of myself when I did the first launch in my GT4RS on cold SC2’s on near freezing tarmac. The engine exploded in a howl and I let go for half a sec as I thought it’d redline and blow the engine, then I realized it held at 7000rpm and floored it half a second later, launch engaged and let the brake go… The car screaming sideways with the rears struggling for grip while I held on for dear life correcting the angle of slide through the steering wheel, both me and my son white with terror as the car went into second still struggling to find grip as we were running out of road. Jesus Christ!! I shouted and dropped the anchors. Full of adrenaline we repeated the procedure a few times and then we both decided taking this deadly beast back to the garage (lair), our bodies shaking with anxiety and joy, agreeing never to try that again on cold autumn roads. Since then I’ve always felt her eyes on me when I walk past her in the garage, like trying to lure me out on the deep end. I’ve never, ever, experienced such an insane car and can’t wait until unleashing her on track days next year. You can all follow our escapades on @viola_gt4rs

[@PetrolPed]

Didn’t dare launch it 😂

[@Nord_Mann]

@@PetrolPed very understandable🫣 Isn’t the GT4RS the most intoxicating car you’ve ever driven? I’ve driven all iterations of 911’s, many Ferraris (488, SF90) and Lamborghinis (Gallardo, Huracan) and none of them comes close to the insanity and sheer hooliganism the GT4RS delivers. There’re all just boring in comparison. The GT4RS will go down in history as the end of the road regarding ICE cars.

[@Airgunhunter-vt8bl]

If I were you I would have to have a cushion on my lap driving that car. If you know what I mean. What a car.

[@PetrolPed]

😂😂😂😂

[@kevinDG7]

it just a stunning and magnificent machine and i really a fan off this platform. i think with a better exhaust it would be even better.

[@Nord_Mann]

I did plan to “upgrade” the exhaust, but there’s no point in doing so. You wouldn’t hear any improvements inside and actually it sounds very angry from the outside, besides I wouldn’t want to void my warranty either so it stays stock as is, except for Manthey kit coming👌🏻

[@PetrolPed]

It really doesn’t need more noise 😂

[@Killswitch85]

Bit close to that wall 😂

[@borinvlogs]

Downshifts sound remind me of Lamborghini Huracan or something very exotic car.

[@PetrolPed]

Indeed 👍

[@technohamster4783]

What an absolute stunning thing, I'd love to own a Porsche as much as anything. But what comes across in videos like this is how much the overall feeling ICE cars give you that will disappear with EV's

[@PetrolPed]

Yep but BEVs give you a different driving experience 🤔👍

[@technohamster4783]

@@PetrolPed true but it's all about that freedom of choice and having access to it.

[@johnbrown3951]

Would not be on my top ten list of purchases for my dream garage even with a Euro Millions jackpot but I can see the attraction. Getting used to near silent driving with i-Pace and not sure I would go back to petrol but it did sound good.

This might be the most ridiculous comment ever, but even at £130k, that is extremely good value, compared with a McLaren, or Ferrari.

Which they must surely realise, will be sold on long before the build date arrives…..

Porsche Leicester has one for £265,000 😮 Shame that pretty much all of these cars will go to collectors and speculators and never be used as designed.
