Leno and Osborne Drive the Porsche Cayman GT4 RS!

The 718 no longer lives in the shadow of the 911! After years of chasing down its rear-engine sibling, the Cayman's balanced chassis has finally received the proper, 4.0L power plant. And with a coziness on par with most Grand Tourers, you almost forget you're in a sports car... that is until you mash the throttle, and the cabin fills with a glorious symphony of induction noises and a Flat 6 revving out to 9,000 RPMs!

Donald and Jay are like peanut butter and jelly. They go so well together.

TO ME NOBODY DOES IT BETTER THEN THESE TWO WHEN IT COMES TO CARS FIRST CLASS ALL THE TIME 😁💯

[@albertseabra9226]

I agree with you They sound relaxed, intelligent, knowing the vehicles quite well -- and without showing off.. They have Class! Unfortunately, most of the people driving that kind of cars are nothing like that.

[@simonvanderheijden432]

No need to shout..

[@blaketindle4703]

It’s so therapeutic to listen to these guys talk cars. They have so much passion for them!

[@FrederickRH1]

My Boxster is by far the best car I have driven. Miles and smiles from this marvel!

[@rayborg7378]

The Cayman is for me the only rival the 911 ever had. What a nice duo to have around.

[@tonymendes5289]

This is my dream car, over any other Porsche or other name plate! This even has the Weissach package and a non-grayscale color, a good spec. Too bad I have Cayman GT4 RS tastes but a 986 Boxster budget (which I own and love).

[@shawnbradford2243]

It is the perfect color combo with that package

[@ernesternest815]

I agree but let’s be honest my 14 cayman base gets me pretty close to the feeling for a lot less money. The induction noise is what I like, wish I could retro fit that on the 981. But I do not track. That thing is a great track toy, one of the best.

[@Dussander2]

I'm using a 718 Spyder (Python Green) for daily and GT4RS (Shark Blue) for the track. Hard life.

[@LastzResortz]

Seeing this car drive around places I recognize locally not only fills me with deja vu but also admiration that some of these aren't being kept as garage queens despite the ridiculous mark-up dealers are asking for these. Dreams.

[@trance9158]

Porsche... The GOAT. Always been my dream car.... The 930 is my favorite though. The Cayman is an awesome car as is the latest 911 iteration as usual. They even have the best EV too!!

[@rondail5675]

Really enjoy Jay's comments, never BS.

[@richardjones2764]

Great video, very entertaining and engaging. Mid-engined is certainly the engineers' choice, so much so that the 911s that race and win at Le Mans (911 RSRs) are actually mid-engined!

I own a 2006 987 Boxster S. 6 speed manual. It is the most fun every day driver. Turns into corners begging to be pushed a little more. Well balanced yet, as you said, not a kidney jarring experience. On a sunny day with the top down, my wife just sits and smiles at me enjoying my toy. Porsche does so many thing so well and they are a lot less finicky than the other cars in it’s class.

[@danam0228]

I very much enjoyed this video, thank you all that were involved

True Jay... I am only racing myself, so a Manual5spd is my favorite. Racing FOR INCOME changes everything. Another manual driver is fun comp. 5spd vs 5spd

[@gustavoflorio5383]

Best duo in car community!

[@brianl3883]

I have a 911 and a Cayman. Like Jenny and Forrest, they go together like “peas and carrots.” Love them. Was never really a car guy until my first Porsche, then I was disappointed I had waited so long. One for taking the Mrs. to dinner, and one for track day/grabbing a hamburger. I am not saying which is which, as the great thing about Porsches, you can do both with both. 😊

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Better late than never! And we love Porsche, so we fully support that combo. Cheers and happy driving!

[@albertseabra9226]

Two very intelligent guys, driving a fabulous car -- and not sounding pretentious, talking in a relaxed manner. The typical Car Guy is exactly the opposite: Usually, bragging about the car and his own "fantastic driving skills" . Going around the block with someone like that becomes unbearable, a pain in the neck. Thank you Jay and Donald for this fantastic, interesting vídeo.

[@dweezil916]

Very good and informative video. Thank you again for putting them out :)

Dear Donald, the Lancia Montecarlo(the designer Paolo Martin is a very close friend to me, and of course I own a Monte in the same gold color than his very own) had exactly 120 hp, out of a 1995 Fiat 4 cylinder engine, not 150-160.

[@bennyhannover9361]

Dear Sir , You are right for the last European version produced between 1981 to 1983? It has the 2000 injection engine from the 132 and the Lancia Beta series. But the 1976 to 1978 had the old 1800 carburetor version with 106? Hp and for american 84 octane petrol the compression was 7,8 so just 78 to 82 Hp remained. But no shame the MG B had 68 Hp in US version and a Mercedes 380 SL 156 Hp versus 218 Hp in Europe. Dear regards from Germany

[@jean-jacqueskaselorganreco6879]

@@bennyhannover9361 I am really sorry, there was never an injected Montecarlo engine and there was no 1800 version either for Europe, in any of the years.All engines were carburettors and 1995 ccm Lampredi twin came Fiat engines.Please research on the speicalized groups or on internet. Your only informations that are correct are: 1.8 litres for North America and 78-82 hp for the US named "Scorpion".All carburettor

[@travisjones3961]

The Cayman has the most beautiful lines of any car I have seen. Can anyone tell me the years to look out for the IMS bearing problem and how it is diagnosed for a layman purchaser? Are there specific symptoms ie. noises etc? How long does it take to get a Blackstone oil analysis and is that something the seller would allow with a substantial deposit?

[@vincedavis4205]

Ready for a fresh ceramic coat after that sandblasting

[@cycle2bhappy]

Lovely video, fabulous conversation and one astonishing creation from Porsche. But, why, oh why, no LWBs in a GT4RS? IMHO, that's just wrong.

[@jamesonpace726]

Damn Gummint. My Dad said "take all that emissions crap off & throw it away". He died of emphysema at 56....

[@mister_ray]

Yes the 718 GT4 is available in a manual. Only the RS version is limited to PDK automatic. The sad thing is the 718 GT4 RS will sell for more $$$ than most 911s will. It’s rare and the demand greatly exceeds supply.

[@normls8615]

GT4 is for track, so PDK only for quick shifting. Lower spec Cayman come with manual option. Which is a better drive?

[@CarYenta-1]

All non-diesel Porsches post-2013 have electric power steering, including this GT4RS.

[@Zyworski]

My dream car comes with a mid-engine true boxer 8 but the GT4 rs is close enough.

[@mortenberg2897]

I have NEVER seen a GT4RS driven that slow 😂

[@AudrainMuseumNetwork]

Unfortunately, our local roads have very low speed limits and we try to respect them as much as we can! Thanks for watching our videos, and stay tuned for a video on the racetrack soon!

[@mortenberg2897]

@@AudrainMuseumNetwork I can appreciate that - but still??? Not even a single revving of that georgious engine?? It’s too much “old men driving” even considering the local roads ….

[@AGuris]

How fast are you going? All the speedlimits in Newport and surrounding areas are 35 or maybe 40! We were just visiting from PA and we were astonished at how S..L..O..W..everyone drives! How can you drive SLOW in a Porsche? Does law-enforcement agree to look the other way for you guys?

[@robertdavis9624]

Jay Leno, where is your jean shirt ?

[@MattLitkeRacing]

What Porsche doesn’t make a big deal about is that the current 911 for endurance racing is mid engine

[@melvinburwell8202]

😂 Jay never wants to give up the wheel. Driving and chopping it up. Is different than driving with auto journalism. Beautiful car. Automatic. Which is OK with me. But the styling is looking more and more unlike a Porsche.🔥🔥♥♥😂😂😎😎

[@Kyfordman1989]

When I went to my motorcycle driving course, the instructor made the comment that your motorcycle is capable of more than you’re willing to do. You will never out ride the bike it can accelerate faster. It can handle better taking Lee further then you feel comfortable at

[@SimeonToko]

Osborne, you removed the emissions controls? Oooo I'm telling.

I hate to see that car getting sand blasted on Rhode Island roads. Hopefully they have a 3M clear bras.

Only an old Boomer like myself and Jay would refer to a hot sports car as “cozy” At least we are not too far gone to enjoy a “Lusty” automobile🦊

Mr. Osborne said it. (iAGREE) The Cayman upon it's release, I immediately saw this being the Superior Porsche after forced induction, and best handling NA

[@timothygould3542]

Jay and Donald are wonderful hosts and I love them for their passion about cars, but neither of them really do justice to reviewing a sports car. The GT4RS is a hardcore track car and is not really intended for leisurely driving like Jay and Donald are doing in the video. I'd rather they focus on sharing classic and vintage cars and the history that goes along with them.

The fact that Porsche refuses to put a manual box in their higher performance cars has saved me a lot of money.

[@nvrmor023]

Thats like putting a manual in a jeep rubicon that goes rock crawling in moab every weekend. The vehicle is so high performance the manual ie you cant touch the functionality of the automatic. If you want a manual vehicle get a jeep sport or a porsche targa. Leave the high end automatics to the professionals.

"glorious symphony of induction noises" Is that what I call sucking noises?
