NEW Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Review: Don’t Believe The HYPE? | 4K

Rory reviews the hotly-anticipated Cayman GT4 RS, the ultimate evolution of the Cayman. It uses the awesome 4-litre naturally aspirated flat six from the now-legendary 911 GT3, makes 500hp and delivers a noise scarcely heard in the modern era. But is it worth the hype?

V12, V10, V8, V6 all beautiful sounding engines but a NA Porsche flat 6 going to 9k is where it's at for me. Finally Porsche have done the Cayman justice in its last hurrah as an ICE car.

[@amielterence]

It’ll be an ICE for a while. Efuel is being pushed by Porsche and other manufacturers

[@gustavbroen4098]

The best for me too

[@stevecade857]

@@amielterence There are quite a few rumours the next 718 will be all electric. We'll just have to see. Porsche will probably keep the 911 ICE for as long as they can and experiment with the 718 platform first.

This how to build a sports car, every slash and cuts are functional, no silly back seats that serves no practical purpose, no four cylinders or bolt on blowers, engine is in the middle, the GT4 RS is powered by a naturally aspirated engine….

I just love the Cayman style. Don't get me wrong, the 911 is right there too, but the Cayman just talks differently to me. A couple of buddies have GT3 RS's, and another has the GT3 so I get to see those regularly. Amazing pieces of artwork and masterpiece.

Everything was perfect in this video. You could really feel Rory’s passion for this car. Only thing I felt was missing was for him to give us a price tag at what the car he was driving was priced at and approximately how much these cars retail for. Other than that thought the video was great!

[@neill3040]

Even if by some miracle you’re able to find an allocation, dealers are marking up 100-150k for this and I don’t care how epic this car is you have to be mad to pay that and more importantly subsidize their greed. I wish Porsche would do something about how their gt models are sold

[@patthonsirilim5739]

they wont and they cant cuz its the free market after all and it slipery slope for car manafacture to get involve with how there car are traded after there sold from the factory and even if they convince the dealer to not do mark up you will have some joe with conection with the dealers buying up all the stock and reselling it at a profit with the dealer taking bribe for giving him all the booking allocation like the old saying goes if there a will there a way all it takes for mark up to go away is for people to stop fighting each other like savages for this car and mark ups are amazing for company reputation i dont think prosche would want it any other way.

Actually prefer this to the latest GT3. The 992 is such a big car now and almost GT-R sized and too unwieldy on the road. In the same way that an M2C is a better car than the M3. In my opinion the GT4 RS is the best Porsche to have and I mean just listen to it! Can only imagine how loud that induction intake howl is inches from your ears as it climbs towards 9000 revs. Pure motorsport! Great video Rory!
