SPORTS CARS: N/A Porsche 718 Cayman GTS vs Turbo Audi TT RS | Stig's Garage ft. Becky Evans

[@Notsofatamerican]

[@IonicMAP]

on a damp track safe bet to say that an AWD car would have a good chance of being faster

[@Schmitzelhaus]

@@IonicMAP On this tight track i kinda doubt that you will have a big advantage with AWD, considering the additional weight. But just the fact that it´s an Audi vs a Porsche, i was really baffled why she would think, the Audi stood a chance. The Porsche gives you so much more feedback, the suspension is miles ahead for the track and just the motor characteristics are way more aggressive. 🤷‍♂️

[@ShogunsDojo]

I really like Becky but that that was so jarring to hear 😂

[@SornGeorge]

I'm surprised that she was surprised that the Cayman is faster around a tight track than the TT.

I thought so too. Same power, but the Audi has all wheel drive and is faster off the line. It also has a 7-speed automatic vs. the Porsche's manual box. I thought the Audi would have this one.

Audi is AWD, Porsche is RWD so given the damp conditions it's reasonable to think it might be quicker

[@fat_biker]

All the sexy traction & stability electronics, I expect.But if you have a racing driver who turns the electronics off the moment he or she gets in the car, they can't help :-). Also, an auto gearbox saps power & adds weight, flappy paddles or not.

I know this horse has been beat to death many times over, but it is honestly hilarious watching that Audi understeer all over the place. I rewound that tight bit around the tires three times, it was cracking me up watching him wrench the wheel and push straight on. It’s like an elephant taking up ballet.

[@L3Trip]

Good comparison. As sublime as the manual is in the Cayman if the Cayman had the PDK like the Audi did the win would have been much larger I bet.

[@HarryBradbury]

Understeer in the Audi looked typically horrendous

[@jojajo2707]

@@HarryBradbury LOL New RS3 is officiall World record holder on Nordschleife. There is basically no understeer. You can easily go sideways due to torque vectoring. 400hp rs3 beats m2, m2 comp easily and it's even faster than 450hp M2 CS. It's a nice car and every reviewer was surprised about handling performance. Things changed a bit🤷‍♂️

@@jojajo2707 Yeah, you’re not reading properly. Pre 8Y is what I wrote. Try again.

[@gw7624]

@@jojajo2707 Both platforms have a transverse I5 over the front axle, so understeer is unavoidable, even with wider front tyres and trick diffs.

[@achintyaaatreya]

I was surprised by the fact that she was surprised by the Cayman's lap time. The mid-engined balance will obviously prove helpful on a track plus if it'd been a sunny day and if the car came with PCCB,the Porsche would've been quicker still.

[@kabob21]

PCCB isn't that much of an advantage on the newer 718 GTS what with the steel brakes now having 6-piston front/4-piston rear brakes now.

[@achintyaaatreya]

@@kabob21 they usually have practice runs and test runs before the actual lap. Ceramic brakes can drastically reduce brake fade thanks to better heat dissipation.

[@thomaslegoff4069]

The TT oversteer on the brakes but at the moment he releases it it understeer. And it only goes straight under power. So slow braking, slow mid turn, slow exit

[@atlasdelmar]

I'm not surprised the Stig went faster in the manual, he gets to pick and choose the gear and balance the entry and exit based on throttle input. If he had used the paddle shifters I'm sure he would have been able to get a faster time. That being said I don't really mind that he left it in sport and just let the car pick the gears for him. Still a decent lap time in the end.

[@isaacberry5023]

Loving this format, great to see the old track back with a familiar face

[@purwantiallan5089]

Hope they bring this back forever.

[@NZsarge1]

Not surprised that the Cayman was quicker, just way too much understeer in the TT, it’s a pity they dropped it from the line up before it could get the tricky diff the the new RS3 has. Going by the improvements it made to the RS3 it might’ve made the TT a considerably sweeter steer.

And no-one ever drives at 9/10ths on the road. Who would notice 1.4 seconds faster driving to the bloody co-op on our shitty overcrowded roads? Add some snow, potholes, cow shit, gravel, bicyclists, death-wish scooter riding pensioners, and all you have left is the quality of the ride (Audi wins) its practically (Audi wins) its service costs (Audi easily wins) cabin luxury (Audi wins). Oh, and they both go bloody fast if you get the chance.

[@neilturner6749]

Oh dear the pathetic old stereotype started in about 1999 by those who couldn’t afford a TT and were stuck in their 10yr old (at the time) £3k Golf mk 3. As a serial owner of both TTs and Boxsters I can confidently say that in the “real world” of everyday driving, there’s not much out there quicker than TT RS from point to point as you can just jump in one and drive it to 90% of its ability almost immediately, whereas getting anywhere near the limits of a high revving, mid-engined RWD car requires a huge amount of skill, balls and risk that you just wouldn’t take on a public road.

[@whos-your-mate]

Both cars sound SO good! 🤤

[@greenhell1317]

[@markdafunky1]

The TT RS just needs a thicker rear sway bar to get rid of that understeer

[@EugVR6]

Even before I've watched it, the Cayman shouldn't lose, its chassis is well beyond the TT...in the dry the gap would be even bigger.

[@gerardov.9716]

I love the size of both of them.

[@MyUtubefreak]

A 718 Cayman GTS PDK would be faster due to both launch control and quicker shifts. Why didn't you pick that version?

[@patthonsirilim5739]

probally not the fact that its damp favors the ttrs so if it was dry the cayman would have gap it even more

[@KosmicHRTRacingTeam]

If anything, the only thing that will change with better weather would be the Porsche increasing the difference in lap times. RWD manual vs an AWD PDK. I can’t imagine they sell many TT RS given the options that are out there.

[@LemtemPoktui]

Lack of a AWD AND it's a manual and managed to still beat the TTRS 1.4s. With a PDK that gap will undoubtedly be more than 2 seconds easily. That my friend is the difference between a proper sports car vs a Audi A3 in a sport dress.

Audi TT RS faster on a damp track than a Lotus Evora. I’m surprised.

[@rosskj9187]

So many comments surprised about Becky thinking the TT RS would've been quicker, yes the Porsche is more of a driver's car and that shows in how much input was required to keep it in shape. Ultimately the TT is a far more stable and driveable machine especially on the road where it really shines with the Quattro. The TT is not an understeery animal people make out to be, it's a very well balanced and capable car and with a very impressive turbo 2.5l i5 that equals the power of the 4l na in the Porsche. Put these head to head on a British B road the TT would would win any day but ofcourse the Porsche was on home territory at the track. Honestly too much hate towards the TT, two very closely contested cars that shine in their own ways. For me I don't spend enough time on the track to justify the Porsche, I'd rather have the TT.

[@gabrieldimanche8458]

You apparently never drove versions of these cars

[@rosskj9187]

@@gabrieldimanche8458 Not true but this just my opinion. My main point is I'm mostly surprised at how much stick the TT gets in the comments. The Porsche is definitely more of a "Drivers car" but the TT is just so easy to drive fast, more people could drive the TT fast than the Porsche which IMO requires more skill. The TT as a result of it's stability is more boring to drive but with the Porsche's agility comes a bit more instability again IMO. There's just no need for the comments to hate on the TT so much for TG pitting it against the Porsche.

[@danielbrix1982]

🤣This guy is not able to drive a Quattro at its limit. He was drifting from one corner to the other with the Porsche and drove the TTRS like my grandmother. Pretty easy to see.
