Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0 REVIEW : Better Value than a GT4?

[@DrivingVenture]

What do you guys think of the Python Green colour?

[@cpandsooz]

Absolutely love it. On order 👍🏻

[@DrivingVenture]

@@cpandsooz Ahh brilliant! It's definitely growing on me!

[@stephaneasselin3359]

I’m glad Porsche is now offering a green colour. Launch specs are often the best choice. I love it

[@richardhamilton9727]

The colour is great; I ordered one - and so nearly went for green. I really wanted it. But in the final analysis I played safe. Metallic Carrara White and silver wheels. Thank you for the great review, and your enthusiasm. Stunning location.

[@DrivingVenture]

@@richardhamilton9727 many thanks you have got yourself a wonderful car....👌

[@RogerBaileyOnCars]

excellent review DH, lovely visuals, and the Cayman GTS 4.0 is all the sports coupe anyone could ever want

[@DrivingVenture]

Cheers RB.... Its a great car.....and for the money its a bargain... lacks the rawness of a GT3 but you are saving so much money... loved every mile I did in it...👍

[@krazeoneski-9188]

The gts 4.0 is my dream car

[@garyf9897]

Enjoyed the review - thanks! Personally, I prefer the GT4 in the bolder colours. The GTS 4.0 is deliberately subtle and understated on the outside but anything from on the inside. Unlikely to track my car so even though I had a GT4 slot offered to me I went for the manual GTS 4.0, in Gentian Blue with Carrera Sport wheel option - just a personal preference from the standard black wheels. It is expensive to option up for stuff like park assist and cruise control. However, love the car. Soundtrack is fantastic which is always so difficult to capture from any of the reviews out there. Nice work!

[@DrivingVenture]

Thanks for the feedback much appreciated 🙏🏻

[@DrivingVenture]

Lovely car congratulations

[@michaelsalter2473]

I looked at and liked the Gentian blue but went for the Aventurine green which was also subtle, for me changing the wheels was an expense I didn’t want and am happy with the standard. As you say the other bits that should be standard are expensive but rear sensors and cruise isn’t too bad. Only thing I went for that I didn’t really want was the Bose, everyone said it was essential for resale, it’s OK but not exceptional. I got climate as well which really should be standard on a £65k car.

[@MarkEardley1968]

It might be £10k less than a GT4, but the extra spec and goodies on the GT4 are probably worth it!

[@DrivingVenture]

the base spec is £10K less the GTS and has little extra other that the chassis for the money.... I agree the GT4 is more my cup of tea but the value for money factor makes the the 718 GTS 4.0 a fab car...

[@ghowells5433]

The boxster GTS 4.0 looks a great buy v 718 Spyder or equivalent cost of a 2016 spyder. The GTS is a future classic I think

[@DrivingVenture]

Lacks the acoustics of the older stuff I would invest in an exhaust solution... has plenty of power and is a fabulous drive.... the 4.0 engine is a peach.... thanks for your comments....🙏🏻

[@timburton1080]

I disagree, I think I'd pay the extra for the spyder. Admittedly I like ticking the spec boxes, so they're both expensive AF but I think you'll loose less on the Spyder / GT4 long term. The 2nd place "sorry you cant get a GT" cars do alright but never hold value like a GT product.

[@Jay-xr3sb]

@@timburton1080 which means I can pick up the gts 4.0 for 50k in a couple of years and use it for 20+

[@chrisharris4223]

Great video! I just picked my GTS up, pretty much exactly the same as this one, colour/spec. I love it

[@DrivingVenture]

Many thanks they are a super car to own and enjoy..

[@kevb8544]

So many visits to the configurator (which is no problem) Python would be good at the jet wash after a good thrash on wet roads. Wicked car.

[@DrivingVenture]

Python is a cool colour for sure....

[@shabbytiger5528]

I would always go for ceramic brakes on the basis that it keeps the wheels clean and prevents damage from the corrosive brake dust of metallic discs and pads.

[@stevefluty2539]

Awesome review. Really like your approach and love the content!

[@plife911]

Its hard to make a gts video without saying “value for money”. It really is the sweet spot in every range. Also which exhaust are you keen on?

[@DrivingVenture]

Car Graphic full X Pipe system....

[@DrivingVenture]

Thanks for your comments GTS was fabulous

[@plife911]

Nice thats for everything? Engine to tips? £10k?

[@DrivingVenture]

@@plife911 yep black carbon tips too

[@plife911]

At 10+ grand im having BC Fabrications whip up a full steel system for mine with inconel tips. Im in the US but they seem to also have cracked the opf delete issue for your market as well

[@888mf4]

Nice review. Nice filming and editing. Is this better than a 981 GT4?

[@DrivingVenture]

Thats my next review😉 but having driven the 981 GT4 I’d probably take the GT4....but its very close.....

[@ronaldzeytoonian2894]

I enjoyed the video- well done! my 2021 GTS 4.0 just completed emmisions testing in port. My dealer should have prep completed before the weeks out. Quite excited! Q: Are you running all season or winter performance tires in your video?

[@DrivingVenture]

The car had standard Pirelli P ZEROs fitted...

[@carstenm.8279]

Nice pictures, but strange "music" instead of more engine sound. Why do I have to hear this in so many car videos?

[@williamdavidson4576]

Great review!

[@DrivingVenture]

Cheers much appreciated 👍

[@cayman9815]

one negative 4000cc engine has high taxes in many countries... 2500€ each year in Belgium 750€ for the 981 2.7 with as much enjoyment on public road

[@DrivingVenture]

Good point thanks 🙏🏻

[@cayman9815]

@@DrivingVenture How much yearly tax in UK ?

[@DrivingVenture]

@@cayman9815 £475 I think

[@thomaswilliams4546]

@@cayman9815 you get a 'nice car tax' in the UK, commonly known as the luxury car tax. So there is a first registration tax and if you have a list price of over £40,000 you have £325 to pay per year on top of your tax based on emissions. The worst band puts you at £2,600 a year, slowly killing off all big output engines.

[@cayman9815]

@@thomaswilliams4546 so how much in total for a 4.0 Cayman tax per year in UK ?

[@asherbrown3298]

Awesome video 👏

[@DrivingVenture]

Many thanks it really is a wonderful car and priced very well...👌

[@369dabbler]

A question for you Base 992 or cayman GTS? All things considered

[@DrivingVenture]

Cayman GTS with the manual box was far more exciting to drive for me…. 👍

[@cpandsooz]

Nice review and visuals thanks enjoyed that. The £10k exhaust system sounds a bit steep. I think the JCR Ti muffler swap out is £5k and to me (YT audio considered) sounded fantastic. 👍🏻 Thumbs Up for not showing the front and rear boots too like every ‘review’. Driving only 👍🏻

[@DrivingVenture]

Thanks for the info!

[@26Tackle.reviews]

really thinking of the new gts 4.0 with pdk and shopping my new plate mercedes a45s amg in! Dont know if the NA engine will feel slow against the turbo a45s iv got!

[@DrivingVenture]

The Porsche handling is on another level.... you can’t compare an A45 with a Porsche..... although my E63S is mega.... the PDK will make it even quicker too... 👍

[@conkgord]

great vid. you need to sort the in car audio. difficult to hear you.

[@DrivingVenture]

Thank you! Yeh we had one or two technical difficulties with the audio. Should be sorted in our next review!

[@jameswillard1]

This car feels like perfection .....until you actually drive the 718 GT4 and realize that is really is a lot more dialed in without much ride penalty or decrease in every day abilities

[@DrivingVenture]

I agree, but many people can’t get an allocation so this car is alot cheaper and offers you quite alot... I’m a GT car man so I know what you mean👍

[@kieranfallows9138]

Superb motor 🔥

[@xIRATUMx]

Sounds like a lot of road or wind noise ????

[@DrivingVenture]

we had some sound issues but we have figured them out...

[@Severen45]

Maybe don't use the exact same background music as frequently during a video.. that got a little cumbersome and distracting.

[@DrivingVenture]

Ok I’ll take that on board thanks 👍

[@Severen45]
