I rebuilt a destroyed Porsche 718 Cayman s that i bought at auction & in the last video i took it to Porsche to let them inspect my repairs. But there was a few things that needed sorting & also Porsche themselves made a mistake which also needed to be sorted immediately. I then challenge the more expensive GT4 to see which car is faster..

I've had 8 porsches since 1997 and the latest two TurboS have been a disgrace. They are not up to the job whatsoever and are nothing but a quarter mile gadget now. I should have known to leave them when they went with the electric steering. Proper porsche guys left the brand at that point as they knew something was up. Ohh how I should have listened to them over all the quarter mile monkeys on youtube etc. Ohh and by the way my oldest R1 a 5vy model from 2004-2006 could catch and pass my own TurboS's at Crail raceway quarter mile no joke, even on the unprepped surface in sub 10deg track temp 15 ambient mugged me in my TurboS with my cousin riding my R1, i then jumped on the R1 and my mate took my TurboS as he was as fast as me in it and re-ran it another bunch and i managed to beat my own TurboS on my oldest sportsbike I own that is approximately £5k to buy now. Kind of spoils it when the hype behind the TurboS was that it was a legitimate reliable 10sec car. It isn't, it definitely isn't, it's barely on the 10 second page in the big bible of what is what does. I also got whooped at Knockhill by anything resembling a 400hp track ready car and an early Lotus Evora beat me around knockhill for fun it danced around me at the bend before the pit straight like I was in a yaught.

Brilliant to see you enjoy the fruits of your labour and to see how much passion you have for your builds

[@kanaric]

good color you picked for this, if they were the same speed i'd still pick it. Sounds good too

[@Thesomersetgimp]

Love you work man, only recently got into your stuff & binged you merci fix. I spoz your always learning & I get that the exterior makes more of a visual impact for YT but when you bin a car :- wheels, arms, rods, subframe (the stuff that makes her roll) are priorities. Body work is rarely beyond repair more so with metallic unibodies, composite & glue sports cars are admittedly a bit different. Live & learn. Future suggestion. Get a famous wrecked D1 car outta Japan & build that. Look at the Juicebox lads for inspiration.

Some might be led to think what you do is “easy”! The time you put in, tenacity overcoming problems is on a level unknown to most!

Having owned an old 911 for >20 years and now the owner of a 718 Cayman S w/PDK I will attest to how amazing this car is. F-ing hell it's fun. It's well-mannered and quick too... Cheers, Mat, thanks for the videos.

[@Gerrardfucked8.5inarow_haha]

Proper smiles watching that mate. Brilliant stuff 😊😊

[@kalanajasenthuliyana]

Respect to Porsche for helping you out and allowing this car to have a second life. That's what a car company should work like. Much adoration and respect to you for this build.

[@dukezero5074]

So this was actually the first car of yours that I followed from start to finish, 100% of it. And I have to say, it was an absolutely joy Mat. I have been watching every single video of yours since then, and I'm always thrilled to see that a new one has released. Please never stop doing what you do Mat!

[@tebohophuthi]

The racing part of this video had me smiling the whole time! Congratulations Mat , 👏🏽

Lovely lovely car. My 2017 S3 Quattro is 310 bhp stock and can be stage 1'd to 360 on stock parts, so that porche is quick. 0 - 60 stock for mine is already 4.4 seconds. Even stock, mine is not far off the RS3's 3.9 0-60, so when remapped it'll be on par/beat stock RS3's.

great PR from Porsche makes me want one even more

[@dustindelaport9480]

Absolute legend. Well done Matt. Just shows you that building your own can be better 🎉😂

[@adrianreyno1]

Although the cost was still high for most, you were able to restore a Cayman S for less than the price of some of the other higher end Porches. The series on the build gives an idea that a Cayman S can be resurrected even though it is badly damaged. Great series and take care of it. Most importantly, have fun.

[@dazzbedford68]

The Caymen S , looks, sounds and performs superbly. Some vehicle you've rebuilt there

[@Bettyish]

That's incredible! Thoroughly enjoying this content!

[@mattfarahsmillionmilelexus]

Amazing rebuild, that car looks nicer than any factory fresh Cayman I've seen of any type. Top job.

[@Jbzy3000]

This was a good build. Proves how great of a company Porsche is, most manufacturers wouldn’t sell you the parts.

[@elliottchard]

why is that? seems crazy

[@eternalgamers10]

​@@elliottchard Look at it this way. For example apple with their iphones there's no 1st party parts or schematics available to the public ( til recently, only because they got told to do so). Just because they want to sell you a new phone. Instead of fixing your old one because it makes them more money. And have the opportunity to sell you more crap. By having it anti repair friendly.

[@Norinia]

@@elliottchardSame way iPhones are so unfriendly to repairs. Apple wants you to buy a new one and gets pissed at you considering a hundred dollar repair over yet another 1,500 dollar phone.
