Porsche 718 Cayman GTS: Hot Lap & 4.0L NOISE | Carfection +

@biocybernaut you're clueless about model positioning and economies of scale :)

@biocybernaut I do.

[@Jesusprayerwarriorbw]

Very close to what we've been asking for: 1) Closer gear ratios 2) tighter steering ratio 3) 6 cylinder 4.0L CHECK

[@wjrneo2]

He upshifts mid-corner in a mid-engined car on a wet track. Like a Boss.

[@Mrdfastcars]

For no reason half the time,gearings painful in these cars, maybe he was trying to get more shifts in, esp some of them being at 4K !

[@tommihommi1]

@@Mrdfastcars maybe upshifting early to prevent wheelspin?

[@SixSpeedSeven]

MM79 I’m hoping that he was referring to the shitty gearing as being at fault. Like, jorg shouldn’t *have* to shift as much, but the gearing is ass.

[@Saif0412]

@MM79 🤣

[@tushermyth]

Yeah and the Gearbox is a road car gearbox and not tuned for the circuit

Henry's expression of unmitigated joy is something I aim to have someday

[@Watchlover371]

Weslly Labrador pat a few hundred pounds for a blue chip hooker and you will have that expression!!

[@thomassosa65]

@Weslly Labrador Smiling like a little boy being given a hot lap around the block by his older brother! Because, well, that's what was happening. Good luck on achieving your aim sooner than later!

[@MacInVR]

Henry just grinning like an idiot...priceless!

[@DC5Brandon]

Same look on my face when I got track day instructor rides in a classic supercharged NSX, S2000, Exige, and Cayman R 😳

[@joecausey8508]

He's totally oblivious to the danger.

[@MatthewGaither]

Yeah he looked like he was having a total blast. As I am sure I would be if I was sitting in the passenger seat.

[@mcesseny]

I am a modest man. I don't need a GT4, I would be happy with this GTS

[@tommihommi1]

it still starts at 81k€, with sensible configs going to 90k+

[@KevAlberta]

tommihommi1 yeah very very pricey 😭😭😭. They are a fine car though. Even DK prefers it over 911 in touge battle

[@limulus61]

I gave up a GT4 allotment because they used a bored out 3.0 to make a 4.0 instead of using a real GT engine. But, I would buy a GTS with that engine. I'm sure that option is not available to me since I bailed on the GT4.

[@MrCarGuy]

@@limulus61 What exactly do you think the "real" GT engine is?

they almost are. They will in my lifetime.

[@nix294]

But , only us enthusiasts wants it . They will be time it will completely gone because of the majority of the market , maybe sooner or later .

[@magnustan841]

Nicholas Chen Agreed, don’t know why everyone wants a “manual everything”. As great as manuals are when you’re driving hard, it’s a pain to live with Everyday and with most cars being automatic, most non-enthusiasts would be used to it and appreciate it. Personally, manuals only make sense on a sporty car that has less than 450hp, beyond that, too fast for a manual....

[@Some0ne001]

@@nix294 I like the auto and I’m an enthusiast. I’m the type of guy to drive my cars daily I will not keep it in the garage and drive it on weekends. Way more practical for a auto than a manual in traffic, on public roads, up hills, stop and go, and after a busy day when I want to just cruise and relax not going crazy everywhere but still want to be in a sports car.

[@societyisboring]

I'm 21 and I need one of these in manual. My father said drive manual or no driving at all

[@philippmey6529]

Fun fact: A young man named Michael Schumacher (yes THE Michael Schumacher) completed his car mechanic apprenticeship at the Bergmeister family's VW dealership some 30 years ago.

[@DenisKudlik]

the way he operates the shifter in those 2-3 shifts is really interesting

[@jalenad11]

Mid corner too! What a savage.

[@logandb]

So smooth, in contrast to many of the KZbin testers.

[@MyRealName]

@@logandb he's a factory driver, knows the car inside out. also, the track is wet..

[@logandb]

@@MyRealName Great point 👍. Lovely to see how in tune with the car he is.

[@sutats]

_Porsche, there is no substitute_

[@JonWhitworth]

sutats yes there is. Mine has been in the garage for 42 days awaiting a gearbox replacement. On my drive I have a Ford Fusion which is so crap I haven’t even bothered to look up its spec and engine capacity. That said, if I didn’t have the shitbox then I’d have no car at all so it’s a adequate replacement for my Porsche at the moment ;)

[@georgenestoridis3452]

Dear Carfection. ... I don't know what's your inventory of videos, but since things are being limited by covid 19... How about uploading videos of Henry just driving a singer for example? Or any other car with nice noise. Just to enjoy the sound and the experience !

[@Carfection]

Stay tuned...

[@georgenestoridis3452]

All love!

[@junaydm1]

Even with no commentary, that really was something special to watch. i would love one!!

[@WilfredZweverink]

Junayd Mohamed It speaks for itself, no bloody music, no talk, just feeling my iPad vibrating in my hands on the sound of that Porsche. Love it...

[@TheWatchers11]

The 718 gts flat4 turbo was already probably one if the most fun daily driving cars on the planet in the turns. Now with a proper motor and sound i can’t imagine.

[@anders-h]

Mine is supposed to be delivered early June, but with Corona who knows. Would be lovely to get it before summer is over. Until then I live on videos like this, so thank you. :)

[@jerezM392]

Awesome car, I wish I could afford one as well - drive safe and lots of fun with it (Y) :)

[@spanienfan184]

The factory pickup in Zuffenhausen for my Boxster 4.0 should be on 20th May but I think the date will be postponed by at least 5 weeks :/

[@anders-h]

@@spanienfan184 I hope you get your car in a timely manner! Was thinking of factory pickup, but I originally had the old GTS ordered back in November, due to be delivered in April, and that would have been bad timing for me, so never went for the pickup option. Then of course it was switched to the 4.0 (and I was very happy!). But that means I originally was expecting the car in April, so now I'm hoping it doesn't get pushed even further, beyond June.

[@spanienfan184]

@@anders-h whenever your GTS will be produced, after all you'll get the right number of cylinders 😁

[@thamilawrence8468]

Congratulations man. Great car

[@rossbest2049]

Manifesting this car into my life. I honestly don't care for hypercars that you can't really use on a daily basis. For me it doesn't get better than the 2020 Cayman GTS.

[@ALMX5DP]

Ross agreed. Supercars make for good eye candy but in reality cars like this GTS are absolutely the most perfect driving machines out there.

[@kamaukinyanjui8739]

I have been all smiles throughout especially when he downshifts on downhill corners and the sound the GT4 makes is just glorious

[@PatHaskell]

Loved it!!!! No music, no talking.....just car noises!

[@kiwigt3]

Jörg is a legend. Such an incredible driver. I met him at Nurburgring 24 in 2012. Such a kind man. Happy to have a chat even on a busy race weekend.

[@853massey]

Manual gearbox in a car like that is the true meaning of joy... also Henry's smile. Manual all the way.

[@elijahbloom4860]

Henry just looks so delighted to be in the car with the biggest grin enjoying every moment of that ride

[@michaelpigue5272]

Love the calmness of the 5-4-3-2 downshift into corner 1 under heavy braking in the wet. Just a slight smile and some perfect (and computer assisted) rev matching.

[@yetidh9]

TC/ESP is off so I'm pretty sure this means that auto blip is also disabled. Also the blips don't sound fast or perfect enough to be done by the computer. With auto blip, the ecu matches the revs at the very last moment and it opens the throttle faster than you can do it with your foot. I have a GT4 and whilst I enjoy practising heel toe, the auto blip is fun to use to use and actually makes better noises due to how aggressively it opens the throttle.

[@lebowski_dude]

Poetry in motion. Lovely to watch and hear.

[@d1pz9]

The way he chooses to not upshift at 1:55 in what would be a 3rd gear section on a dry track is what speaks volumes for his experience. Awesome driving!

[@chriswelham9089]

Great car, great track, great driver and traction control off. I’ve never seen Henry look so happy

[@wolfganghimmelsbach6929]

[@krisabrahamson8844]

Thanks for the video, it was great! I was watching the tach for when he shifts out of 2nd gear, 130kph! That's 20kph higher than the highest speed limit that I know of in Canada.

Just my opinion of course, I could well be in the minority, but I wish there were less cuts when doing onboard shots on track. Sometimes it's nice to absorb a single shot and take it all in... or perhaps my brain just works slower. As always, another fabulous upload. Please take my very minor critism in the spirit in which is was meant.
