BEST PORSCHE? 2022 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Review

[@TheStraightPipes]

Hope you're enjoying the 2nd instalment of The Jakub Pipes this week. Yuri will be...back... next week!

[@mitchgarbeno3788]

😂solid opening Gents.

The opening was hilarious. Get well soon Yuri. Good job Jakub. You guys have some of the best editing out there, you and Donut. And you have some of the best cinematography.

[@bobimoto28]

With those bucket seats u would've put Yuri's back out of comission for sure 🤣 tell the old men to go to the gym strengthen his back a bit

[@rohanj2621]

You guys never disappoint us with the thumbnail

[@chrisfix]

Edit: Hang on, is there no firewall between you and the engine? Just some plastic? Dude for doing this yourself, this was really good. Good thing Yuri didn’t try to push through and do the review with all of those launches!

[@tahmidhossain8144]

lol🤣🤣🤣

[@TheStraightPipes]

Special Porsche plastic I guess

[@derekyam1805]

There's 2 metal plates that covers the 2 holes in the chassis for engine maintenance. Over those metal plates are thick heat/fire resistance foam covers. Then it's the carpet. Those intakes probably have a special grommet around them while it's routed through all those layers.

[@SenszR]

@@brrrrr9999 the GT3 already has this engine.

[@Sakratic]

Jakub is honestly a friend I've ALWAYS wished I had!!! Personally because the dude honestly knows what he's talking about and legitimately just enjoys driving and the interaction/connection between a vehicle and it's driver, just like myself - also his pure passion as he's driving and talking about the car CAN'T be faked!! Yuri is equally passionate BUT just different...a friend that I didn't know I wanted, that is UNTIL I witnessed his qualities and his unique love and appreciation for vehicles that he has - l'm commenting after watching the guys' rip around in the NSX TYPE S, so.... glad that you're back and your back's back to 100%, almost, haha!!!

[@therealboofighter]

Thanks for taking one for the team and doing the review by yourself.

@dobbeltskydespil and what's wrong?

[@IJTFILMSI]

As someone who has gone through back pain countless times, I hope Yuri feels better soon! Wishing him the best. This review was amazing, couldn't help but smile throughout the whole video, and that sound... 😍🤩 My god it's AMAZING!! Sound so good Cops wouldn't pull you over 😆.

[@TmoneyFatStacks]

I have 2017 NSX and I bow down to how Porsche is just the gold standard on how a race car should be. I would love to own one of these as my daily.

[@MZ-bl6wg]

My brother had a new GT-3RS and one of these for club racing and has said the GT-4RS he prefers greatly in regards to racing, it’s made him a much better driving as a non professional and allows you to get much closer to the cars limits safely than a 911 based race car. They both look and sound epic tho!

[@Fastvoice]

These huge two side air intakes at the front remind me a lot of the nearly similar ones at the 996 turbo.

[@rayestefania3725]

“The best Porsche ever!” That’s awesome! No more Cayman complex. Too bad most of us will never be able to own one.

[@rossdonison4999]

Awesome review. You always seem like you’re having the most fun of any reviews and it it a ton of fun to watch. The car is simply amazing. Absolutely stunning work from the folks at Porsche once again. I need to get one in my garage.

[@brandonurban5215]

This is the only modern car say in the last 20 years that is a dream car for me. Love everything about this car

[@iluvcakes19]

So all the way from 02 to now, 2022, there is no other car worthy of being a dream car for you?

[@PotatosPotatoes]

That high rev sound reminds me of a well-tuned Integra Type R from the late 90's.

[@celticbedou]

hahah the best opening 20 seconds of any motoring video... that was superb. now need to make it my alarm clock...

[@TheStraightPipes]

Thank you

[@mikeritchie492]

Love the reviews you guys do and I don’t care what it would’ve taken I would not have missed that car. You know his back was really messed up.

[@Benjamin_Jehne]

I'm absolutely with you, this thing looks way better than a 911. The Cayman is such a beauty and as this GT4 RS it looks even better.

[@naturalbornhuman3450]

The beginning is a nice reference to a Top Gear’s episode where they showed a comical clip of GT3 RS being launched in different daily situations 😀 Edit: that was on Grand Tour

[@samarsalan9897]

I think that was on grand tour

[@naturalbornhuman3450]

@@samarsalan9897 ooops you’re correct

[@julian0693]

And it was a gt3 not a gt3rs

[@pierreburton4523]

Didn't Clarkson say on TG around 2005 that Porsche knew the 987c was a better chassis than the 911 at that time, but wouldn't put the engine it deserved because then they would be admitting that the rear engine 911 was wrong all along... I guess now, most of their buyers are Porsche enthusiast anyway more than they are car enthusiasts. I'm glad they finally did it, and now the Caymen is what it deserved to be all for almost 20 years. Good job Porsche.

[@Nord_Mann]

I believe he did

[@Jake4211-]

"Just buy one" Best professional car advice ever🤙

[@firehawk22]

This is the GT4RS review I needed. Real talk from a car person. No fluff, just the good stuff. Not that I'd ever spend GT4RS money on a car, it's immediately catapulted towards the top of the "if I won the lottery" list as I expected, but needed some re-assurance. Thanks for that! 😄 Also; do we need another category for the visor test - Race Car? Supercar's get a pass... I'd think the hyper track focused race cars should too!

[@mortuzak]

back problem... they all say that. Matt Watson: why do you want this job? Yuri: like the weather here better 😆

[@_red_scorpion_]

For any of you that have older boxsters/ caymans you can get a similar sound from your car too. I had a 987 with a PCS innovations cold air intake on it and it had a similar amazing sound. Rumble in low rpm, that insane metallic zing at high rpm, and you can hear the sucking sound at partial throttle or when blipping the throttle. I can post videos if anyone is curious

[@mikaeljackz]

Please do!

[@WhatIsMaikai]

I have a 987.2 and would like to hear!

[@naginderbhullar3577]

Man i never in my life commented on a video. And i gotta admit i f**king love the starting 6 seconds.

[@defyyourlogic487]

I drove a 2015 gt3 and it was glorious. I can’t imagine this car.

[@ラッセル9728]

gt3 is better imo

[@Krauser1226]

Same, I drove the same gen GT3 on track and had a tough time thinking how a car could be better. In typical Porsche fashion though, it seems like they outdo themselves every generation.

[@grownsimba8120]

@@ラッセル9728 Are you saying the new current GT3 is better than the GT4 RS? Or are you saying a 2015 GT3 is better than the brand new GT4 RS with pretty much the new GT3 engine in it?

[@ラッセル9728]

@@grownsimba8120 I’m saying the GT3 in general is better than the cayman.

[@damachine3]

1:31 My GT4 RS arrives in 2 months and I opted for the bucket seats. I have bucket seats in my 992 GT3 and they are fine.

[@sammybecaus]

Yes the inside feels a bit dated, yes, but having had the opportunity of driving the GT4RS around the track I have to agree with the video. You honestly don't care about the center screen resolution because you're not just not interested in that anymore once you get behind the wheel. You have the feeling you're flying a precision fighter jet, that takes all the abuse you can throw at it and begs for more. To me, it's the pinnacle of ICE. Your smile will be bigger than the center screen diameter!

[@Toymonkeyjr]

The interior is dated in the perfect way, driver focused cockpit. Has everything you need and nothing more.

[@masterdrummer19]

are you saying the carbon buckets are only bad to get in and out of or that they are uncomfortable to drive in as well? I was a bit confused by what you said

[@TheStraightPipes]

Yes get in and out. They're ok once you're in them but they're still a bit too upright

[@sylvainbougie7269]

Wishing for a Tesla is like wishing for a lover that only knows how to finish a little bit faster… at least with GT4 you can have fun for hours.

[@RawHalibut1278]

For some reason the launch control sound sounds oddly familiar to the sound of the coffee machine

[@tvonfelsen]

Have to disagree: the carbon buckets are very comfortable. Have them on 3 cars (981 Spyder, 981 GT4 and 982 GT4 RS). Driven e.g. from south of Spain to Germany - no probs. Comfy and fits like a glove. 👌

[@marcogomez8112]

can you send me the spyder? located in California :)

He said they are tough to get in and out of. But, once you're in them they are fine.

It’s a shame the display technology is so outdated in these awesome rides.

[@snakeeyes9246]

The 718 Cayman is outdated on the inside. I wish it got the 992 911's infotainment.

[@Yinyang1277]

Idkw I love it more than the new one. Although the new display is gorgeous I feel like for a sports car this fits better and will age better due to it already being somewhat outdated. Everyone knows the tech today will seem laggy and slow in the future so why even play that game with a car everyone knows will become a classic? That’s my guess on their thoughts. I LOVE the physical buttons on both our Cayennes I’d take it over the new models imo. Especially since this is a manual that’s mechanical I’d rather have physical buttons. I don’t think it’s a shame really. You can’t say the new gauge looks more track focused than this. It just looks more futuristic and cool, but that’s not the purpose of this car.

[@janneshildebrandt1]

I think the display technology is top notch, way better than Tesla for example

[@Roberto-cc5nz]

who cares about a display in a gt4 rs

[@squidwardshouse67]

Analog gauges are the best

[@seinsmeld13]

I took my 718 Spyder out of hibernation yesterday. It's nice to be back with my Spyder.

[@hollywoodcheremonkey]

I think this looks better than a GT3 too. The GT3 is too bulky, and the GT3 RS is looking to get even bigger. The recent 911 just doesn’t look like a sports car anymore. It looks like a GT car. The GT4 RS is the perfect balance out of the entire Porsche lineup. It looks like the ultimate sports car!
