Exceptional 400 WHP N/A 4.2L Wide Body Porsche Cayman - One Take

The Smoking Tire Limited Edition Vintage Tee is on sale now! Only through August 10th, so get them here!
www.teespring.com/stores/thesm...
This is a very special Porsche Cayman by renowned Porsche enthusiast shop Road Scholars in North Carolina. It features an all-metal wide body with a GT3 front clip, but to look further reveals that every single body panel has been changed. Under the rear decklid sits a 4.2L stroker flat-six making an estimated 400 HP at the rear wheels. There are interior details too numerous to count, and the overall package is incredibly appealing, but to drive it is to really experience how wonderfully balanced this Cayman is.

"The engine is still being broken in; it only has 800 miles on it." *takes it out to redline immediately*

[@rabity]

HAHAHAHA good point LOL

[@betonthis1]

Going to the same exact thing.

[@wernwerks819]

Proper break in needs to see full load! Modern engines being babied during break in is a waste of time (especially from the factory since they are almost broken in already how tight they are) and possibly preventing proper piston ring seating.

i guess Im asking the wrong place but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me

[@rickyrodney1874]

@Ledger Erik instablaster :)

[@crazyhorse6596]

Love the fact that it's naturally aspirated! Beautiful interior and exterior. Absolutely a dream car

[@sachellebabbar9005]

"middle six figures...150,000" was waiting for the middle six figures, like 500,000.

[@flatoutsupercars166]

The Cayman of my dreams, love the build.

[@ImStuckInStockton]

13:23-13:30 is Matt's greatest moment ever.

[@ZaDude1970]

Before that video kicks off, that is one sick looking Cayman! The wide body/ruby red/golden rims combination is as as sharp as fxxx!

[@dreygoss6515]

Naturally Aspirated with 400 hp!!!! how could you go wrong? That on demand power is beautiful

[@stevensanchez330]

Those fly bys are glorious . That beautiful Porsche sound

[@jordanridgeway4601]

One of the best One-Takes in awhile, awesome review

[@WarriorsPhoto]

The exhaust on this car sounds amazing. I would only drive this car for fun. Even without being in the car the experience was amazing.

[@xkrnxboix]

Matt, the Cayman videos never end! And I love you for it!

[@jonmadden59]

The cayman is my favorite car and has been since 2006. I remember when you were reviewing the stock ones and wasnt impressed, I was sad but i still want one lol

[@olivermarx1]

[@Rodhizzzle]

This car is beautiful, and clearly built for pure driving pleasure. Great stuff!

[@slaWterCH]

Very nice build. Love the NA aspect of it!

[@alext2933]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful creations ever reviewed by Matt.

[@SubaruWRXspdManual]

Love the looks of the car. The body, the color, and those gorgeous gold wheels. Love it. Super sweet ride.

[@ChristianArreguin]

damn! 6 cylinders are truly the sound of motorsport!

[@GenghisSworn]

Beautiful colour combination, both inside and out

[@Mikey-ug7nj]

[@marc9283]

[@bona340]

OMG. What a piece of machinery. And that exhaust noise? Well done Road Scholars.

[@KirkTheGod]

hitting that bump right in front of the owners .... man that was too good hahahahaha

[@Poohbeark20]

I LOVE THE SPEED. Great driving, great car. Looks like fun.

[@noiiaz96]

That car sounds absolutely AWESOME!

[@SacCarScene]

What a awesome build. Beautiful car!

[@GaryCrowellJr]

First sales pitch I've watched in a while! Like!

[@DamianBadalamenti]

Love this Cayman build.. Absolutely amazing

[@carloscoy6635]

Good heavens thats one of the best looking Porsche iv ever seen rims n exterior

awesome color combo. Best cayman I had ever seen.

[@mickeymang6]

Coolest sounding car you have had Matt!!!

[@friend_built]

It's so beautiful. Crazy build

[@constructivecritique4049]

Wow. What a stunningly beautiful car. And boy, oh boy. Do I, and everybody else, miss that engine note, on the newer Cayman.

[@davidknowling9681]

Nicely done. Gee that paint shows up so sweet in the showroom.

[@pwrightisright8611]

What an incredible looking car. Great build.

[@NotAvailableEmotionally]

So cool! Love the GT3 front end and the exposed engine.

[@suraj7457]

Holy smokes, that Porsche is insane!! :O

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

Matt, I love the cut at 5:11 where you're stuck behind the truck, it cuts to a WOT fly by, and back to being stuck behind the truck 😁😁 All kidding aside, I love this damn car.

[@NuisancePanda]

That is one of the most beautiful cars I have ever seen...

[@seinsmeld13]

Your video reminded me of my long lost 2009 Boxster S. I was thinking of changing the exhaust of my Boxster. I informed the wife and she suggested I buy a new Porsche. That resulted in me buying a near new GT4. I just put that car away for the winter. It will be back on the road mid March. I can't wait to get her back on the road. 375 HP is nice. Maybe I'll drive down to Tee Spring and check out their shop. Thanks for your review.

[@thomaspfaff8723]

@thesmokingtire best Matt one liners in a while!!

[@aaronp9835]

Absolutely beautiful. Porsche is amazing

[@Alero2k4]

Stunning in every detail.

[@Thei9ways]

sooooo sick. I love these videos. I like the mclaren675lt-ome take I like the most though. Absolutely insane.

[@STIMUL8ED]

Absolutely one of the sickest cars I've ever laid my eyes on...👀

[@mr.superfast1465]

this is the coolest cayman i have ever seen!

[@nitishk9]

Now this is something I have been thinking about, ever since I got my 986 Boxster, if it could be done, now that I have seen something similar having been done, I'm relieved.

[@TheAmazingMrMcFlyy]

I was Lucky enough to see this car a couple of times up close in person, in my very own neighborhood in Miami at that! Those RoadScholar guys are on their shit 👌🏼

[@SkiDooRydr]

"Thank you to Road Scholars".... _CRUNCH_ ... (ʘ_ʘ)

[@MikeHannibal]

hahahahahahahaha perfect timing

[@dylanellis6264]

The Last Honk I’ve never laughed so hard at a KZbin comment 😂 The little face sent me!

[@mxss115]

The Cayman (any of the flat sixes) is one of my dream cars

[@DSP1337]

Wow, this looks amazing!

[@Travelakad]

Goodness! That car is gorgeous to look at!

[@xZeusAlmightyx]

It's so beautiful. I want to cry

[@stefanmyers]

Beautifully executed machine!!

[@kpaintball3]

Normally I dislike the look of the Cayman but this one looks absolutely beautiful I actually like the sound it's not the best sound but I don't think it's terrible by any means it looks like it was done right and performs just great. I like it thumbs up great show car

[@berzerkrobot]

I think it was cool to have a small part dedicated to the sounds of the car, thanks!

[@smalljaws8137]

some great fly bys in this video!

[@R34GTRR35]

Thanks Matt , love this

[@thez9756]

Gotta love that this shop is 3 minutes away from me :) The car is so much cooler in person I can promise everyone that.

[@BigHeadClan]

Best Cayman to date IMO, would love if they gave the Cayman GTS this much power.

[@cbcsmithers]

This has to be a pricey build. Nice execution!

[@jordanberry4824]

Car is absolutely gorgeous !!!

[@BobHGarage]

Great car and great video

[@KRACCMedia]

Would love to drive/own one of these. I'll be honest, I really wasn't fond of the "one takes" at first but I have come around! Keep them up 👍🏾

[@islandacres4646]

awesome car....best vid Ive seen for a while

[@Fuzion180]

Love the front end! sounds just like my friends M3 E46

[@EnthusiastProject]

no BMW sounds as good as a Porsche, I love both brands.

[@petert7807]

IMO S54 m3 with the right exhaust sounds better, more metallic mechanical rasp.

[@tyler9703]

Recommended this video out-of-the-blue and previously had no idea you had been out in NC before! The roads around here are extremely fast but bumpy as hell, definitely not ideal for a car like this with Cup Car suspension. It would be cool to see you come out and do another NC one-take though! Maybe give the RS guys a call again, they've got some even crazier stuff now that would be awesome to see on the channel.

[@EvilSSP]

Damn what a beautiful car. Best looking Porsche since I don't know when. Black would have looked way better than red with those rims though.

[@TangibleExistence]

One recommendation to the guys at Road Scholars would be the dressing around the shifter. Try to duplicate the metal mesh on top of the gauge pod to encompass the shifter. It would hide the factory boot removal mounting nicely; while complimenting the other piece. Great build guys

[@conanmagruder]

One Takes should continue for videos like this.

[@CRatcliffe]

Looks beautiful, not a fan of gold wheels on a car but everything else is spot on!

[@richardb.jesser3715]

Once it's tuned that thing will be a monster!

[@elcentinela3434]

Great video

[@bicyclist2]

I love the manual trans the tan interior and the gold Lamborghini Huracan wheels.

[@swansmeister]

gorgeous wheels, I want this car

[@ceounicom]

i was thinking of your Farnbacher Loles Cayman vid from way back in the day when this began, and was happy you re-mentioned it. I remember years ago when that vid was made i did all sorts of research into that company and it was like a parade of crazy shit and not long after i think they went bankrupt? either way, i've always enjoyed the "how far can we take a cayman"-concept. I think its the best modern car platform to mod the fuck out of, i just think no one has quite solved the "which is the perfect engine" question yet. Or the cost/benefit one.

[@gamesguitarsandcars]

Hah... been watching your One Take episodes for a while now, so used to seeing canyon carving in Cali. Boy was I shocked when I noticed you guys were just minutes from where I grew up near Falls Lake! Driven around there many times, fun roads but not the best surface. Was around 20 years ago that the 2nd road you were down was actually still a dirt road...

[@JohnKunkleAuctioneer]

Sweet ride!

[@100thomasmagnum]

Man that sounds NICE!!!

[@MRFUCKOFF202]

This is the best modified car i have ever seen

[@EnthusiastProject]

This Porsche is sick!!

[@pauldtaeza]

Matt, how does it compare to the GT4?

[@AaronHendu]

Looks the part, beautiful car!

[@allensaunders449]

Great car and drive

[@quentindowney9897]

Aww yeah cruising down farrington road like a boss. Thats Jordan lake. Welcome to NC Matt!

[@quentindowney9897]

you have no idea how many cyclists and bad drivers you luckily avoided on these roads this day lol

[@Pantovinator]

Love the BLNR Matt

[@conor1423]

That exposed gear lever linkage is beautiful

[@torygyberg8837]

Wow, great roads!

[@ZenGamer97]

my favourite car all year

[@hooptie157]

That cae shifter. Love it.

[@frankceeko4596]

What a Beautiful machine !!!!!

[@yitznewton]

First impression was that this was an over-the-top build, but it comes together really nice once you get to know it.

[@SergeantMoetz]

The downshift blips made my day!

[@jardim23]

Jesus Matt, you had that thing pinned for the first 30 seconds of this one take. Sounded great.

[@jayman3575]

i would love to see this battle the coyote cayman and the gt4...would be a nice addition to the channel comparing "great" builds face to face....

[@Zerrisk]

Clean as hell.

[@v_alexiadis]

Cool car. Good noise!

[@Genome69420]

so beautiful.
