Hey Guys 👋
Pinch yourself moment coming up…
Welcome back to CMD and the PORSCHE 718 CAYMAN GT4!!!
This car has been leant to me (that’s right leant to me) by the all round legend Paul Stevens. If you think you’ve heard that name before - you would be correct as more recently I’ve borrowed and filmed his very special GR Yaris AND his highly collectible BMW 1M
When you hear a company like Porsche is making a loss on a certain car - which is filled with components from “superior models” including big naturally aspirated engines ANYONE would start to pay attention wouldn’t they.
A natural transition for me having owned my BMW M2 Competition for fast approaching 3 years now.
I’ve known people jump into them to never leave the brand - I’ve known others to jump straight back to an M Car after finding it wasn’t for them.
So evidence would dictate this is all about preference… and potentially wallet size!
So briefly let’s talk spec on this particular model because true to form - Paul has gone all out here to make this very special car - that little bit more desirable!
Loaded from factory
Carbon bucket seats
Carbon ceramic brakes
Extended race tech interior (Alcantara and carbon)
BOSE
Manual (obviously PDK is available too)
AFTERMARKET
JCR titanium exhaust - wait until you hear it!!!
PPF - if I owned one… that would be a must!
Now I don’t know if this comes across on camera - but this thing in the flesh looks very VERY SPECIAL
I KNOW LOOKS ARE SUBJECTIVE BUT I DEFY ANYONE TO NOT LIKE THE STANCE AND PRESENCE OF THESE
4.0 litre naturally aspirated engine
Punches out 420BHP
REACHES 189mph
and unlike most cars - the faster you drive it the more capable it becomes thanks to some very trick aero.
AND ON THAT NOTE - let’s discuss the drive…
A mid engined, naturally aspirated RWD car with perfect weight distribution, a manual box and clever aero…
You’d imagine it’s all good
And in the most you would be correct
The displacement is large for a car of this size and the power delivery is linear.
THE MANUAL BOX IS SUPERB - a short throw placed right where you want in - you can see why people love them.
You can short shift - the car will dordle but as you would expect - when your pushing on - you need to work the engine beyond 5000 RPM to really extract maximum UMPH
And it will Rev out past 8 k
I hope you enjoy the content and look forward to hearing your thoughts!
Cheers 🍻
