2023 718 Cayman GT4 RS - Best Porsche sports car ever? | One-Mile Review 

Joined PCA in 1989. Have owned a 914, 911, 924, 944 Turbo, 981CS, 718GT4, and now a GT4RS. The driving experience is epic.

Nice review ! I’ve owned a few exhilarating Porsches from road going RS and GT cars to full blown track only Cup cars spanning 1974 to 2019. I can tell after only putting 400kms on my GT4RS that I already know this will be a keeper and amongst my all time favorite and definitely a full 10 for FUN

Great review,. Have mine almost broken in (935 miles) and am absolutely loving it so far. I'll probably never have the sound system on with all of those lovely wild noises right behind your head. It certainly gets much more attention then my 991.2 GTS which is not surprising at all. In the low key town of Madison WI, it does stick out and lots of phones are up snapping shots. I do prefer to daily my 911 GTS simply because it's a manual. That being said, this GT4RS with the PDK will be a nimble beast on the track. I'm actually looking forward to not having a manual on my track car. Can not wait to get it up to Road America this month and just let it run.

Awesome! And indeed the longest mile ever 🤣🤣. The forward camera angle looked like a Top Gun scene...

Just came back yesterday from a 1000 mile break in road trip to France. What a machine. My point is that since you can legally drive on the motorways here in France/Belgium/Netherlands at speeds somewhere between 62mls/hour (Netherlands) and 80mls/hr the car can be driven at relatively low revs and is thus reasonably quiet. Of course, any acceleration or downshift changes that situation dramatically. I think your score is spot on. Nice video.

Only in a Porsche, where you do almost anything you want because they are hard to break. I have downshifted in the middle of a curve before, exciting 🏎

What a road

What an unbelievable car! I'm hoping to hear from Vu soon regarding mine (PCA Raffle). Your review captured the excitement this car brings to the road. Well done!!

Yeah, your 987 base Cayman is such an awesome car, isn't it! I just love it, every single drive......❤

Great review.Thanks to the member for letting Damon do a review on this Cayman.

You were having a blast. I don’t have any issues with the wing blocking the rear view. It’s there but it doesn’t bug me. The only trade off with the GT4 RS is its suspension on bad houston roads, is too harsh. But on flat road, it’s awesome, so planted.

Great review. I have a 2023 Macan S and '18 718 Cayman GTS. Would love to have a GT4RS some day as it looks and sounds amazing.

Fun review - thank you!

Incoming! I was sold on this purchase before seeing this One Mile Review. Your final thoughts confirm it was money well spent, thanks for sharing, Happy Trails!

Thanks owner :) and driver 👍 Ace video as always from PCA! Love from 🇬🇧

I liked the way you separately assessed the car as a daily driver and for road trips. Not everyone does that and it was useful.

"Downshift in the middle of a turn" - Is that the way you are supposed to drive - thought you are supposed to downshift before the turn?

Let’s see which would I rather have: this masterpiece or the future all-electric version? Hmmm…tough choice.

I have daily-driven one of these for 6 months. Every day. Commutes. Road trips. Everything in between. In normal mode, it’s a pretty smooth cruiser, and listening to music or podcasts is easy. And as long as you have front axle lift, it’s not a problem getting into and out of nearly any driveway or garage. Plus, it’s very practical with all the storage. Seriously, the car can be driven in a fairly tame way, if that’s how you make it. If this car is too hard for you, then you’re too soft! Lol 😅

Excellent!!

Fingers crossed I win one in the PCA raffle, that's the only way I'll be able to get one!

Awesome car and great review. You chose the right road! Does the drive selector modification also let you change gears using it?

Great review of a great car! Seemed like more than a mile...which was good.

Damon, You are a lucky man. I am jealous. Wish I could of gotten an allocation. Thank-you for the review.

Damon ....we put about 1500km touring Germany in our GT4RS. With considered throttle modulation the noise can be mitigated for long distance touring. The car does a slight understeer.

Longest mile ever! #thankgoodness

I agree , at the top of the rev range in 2nd, the engine screams like none I’ve ever heard before. Porsche really showed up and out with the last iteration of Cayman’s ICE. I have a 2014 Cayman and I have plans on getting the electrified Cayman💯🏎

Oh my hooly potato!

Great review Damon. I watched the review initially with iPhone speaker then put in my earbuds and WOW epic flat 6 noise. At 9:14 top of 2nd gear is fabulous. If there's a road to Heaven you found it. Thanks again for super production on this video. ☘️

Nice

July 31st raffle is my only hope for owning one. 🤞

Will be driving this car with the Weissach package all day including on the Nurburgring Nordischleife on July 25. Can’t wait

One of my favorite cars ever created

Rips?! Sure does! Daily driver? What is the cost per mile?

I own one. Everything you said is true. Most won't get to experience it. I'm trying to give everyone I can a ride.

How in the world did you manage to get such a long stretch of road with no cars in the way?

😳😳😳. WOW!!!

I'm sure it's amazing but I'm not a fan of the 718 design. I much prefer my 987S. The engine is awesome though.

I live 5 miles from that road take my 911 be patient and wait for a good spot to go up and down give yourself some space.

👍👍👍

I loved this review, until you mentioned MR2. Really dude? LOL

Last one with a ICE? If so, Porsche has lost it's mind to the EV mind virus..

Do we want to see the road, do we want to see you. No We want to see the car.

The best ever Porsche thats a very tall order to tell ,so many great Porsche s were made.What a pity its going to be all electric .Its like eating a meal without a taste to it.

Maybe for the ladies😂
