Greatest Porsche GTs: 718 Cayman GT4 meets 911 GT2 RS and GT3 RS | Autocar heroes

[@jonboy602]

Journalist: What I'd like to do today, is test all of these GT Porsches Me: So would I.

[@RamjeProductions]

Okay Porsche, _718 Cayman GT4_ *_RS_* , make it happen!

[@DarksideHistory]

It was rumored with the GT3 engine but with a pdk only and more like the old clubsport version

Like what @john mitchell said, they probably won't do it due to the 911. They've said that they can do one and might, the GT department wants to, but they may not due to the 911s and accountants.

[@melbguy1]

You can still order the GT4 with 20" wheels, club sport package, ceramic composite brakes & lightweight carbon full buckets which turns it into a pretty nice club sprint or Targa car.

[@SupercarsinGreece]

[@slonky821]

How is it the purest?

[@ryanengel2374]

[@moneyparhar]

Not will. They going up in value long ago

[@miklas.k]

@@technom3598 many people do. Thats why the 997.2 GT3RS 4.0 costs as much as it does. Yes its limited, but the engine is a reason for the price

anyone who doesnt appreciate a Metzger powered Ren sport car should just NOT comment.

[@slaWterCH]

The GT4 is the perfect mountain road car. Size, handling and still usable power. It not being an RS version is actually a good thing. Makes it easier to live with day to day or while on the way to the mountain.

So Matt has it: 997 RS 3.8 > 991.2 GT2 RS > 982 GT4 And i like that.

[@marky2712]

Matt is the GOAT of all presenters, i can understand and almost feels what he is experiencing behind the wheel

Please get a GT1. I’m sure many of us would love to see a new video of it!

I don’t think we are ready for the 992 GT cars. They will be insane

[@nicksmith9217]

mans got skills bruv. epic sideways cid

[@bbgt6299]

Having a 3rs as featured i can only agree with the sentiment although the new models with RWS have added to the dynamics these days what only GT models could do in the past 👍🏻

[@krizex]

Awesome review! I really enjoy when people actually drive the cars they review and push them rather than just "casually" driving them around. This gave me a "Chris Harris on Cars" vibe which is probably one of my favorite shows. Keep it up Matt and team :)

[@tabrezmoorad5089]

Im still a Carrera GT fan...its my all time favourite. It think with a Gemballa package on the inside but the standard outside. Thats my sweet spot.

[@Neklank]

Can't beat the sound of a naturally aspirated block, new turbos are dreadful in comparison

[@aryaraj_77]

Yeah man! I feel the same too :-(

[@theFORZA66]

If only we put turbos on high compression na engines At least the 991.2 gt3 has a 9000rpm screamer 😀

Love these long form reviews, especially when done by someone like Matt who can drive and understands chassis dynamics. Still thinking about the argument that turbo cars more controllable on the limit ...

[@888mf4]

Great video. Very detailed and love the sideways action on the GT2 RS. I totally agree with your thoughts on the GT4. It will be spectacular if they ever give it a GT engine. The 997 GT3 RS 3.8 and 4.0 models are so engaging and are hard to match for driver involvement.

[@oggan97]

Let me tell you, it IS in fact spectacular!

[@sidlahiri8935]

Great video! Inspired me to get my own GT. Now I've got to figure out how to drive like that :)

[@ernodios]

My favourite Porsche ever is the 911 R, based on the GT3RS but 50kg lighter and with a manual gearbox. Naturally aspirated, less focused on performance but much more focused on sheer driving experience, a more natural and organic bond between the man and the machine

[@ryanengel2374]

Well said!!

[@Thomas_Glavelis]

One of the best videos I ve watched in quite some time!! Good job!

[@hikingjoe4752]

I ADORE the new 718 GT4, NA 4l 6cylinder boxer and manual what more do you want? I just want one so bad in miami blue, with the yellow-GT-stiching and all the track focused stuff, PCCB, bucket seats etc. And its such an awesome car but costs less than the standart 3l turbo Carrrera with less hp lower top speed etc. And looks so good
