The Porsche Cayman GT4 is almost the perfect sports car. It was a smash hit from when it was launched in 2016, and, with one exception, is above most levels of criticism with its brilliant chassis, steering, and composure. With the manual gearbox, enthusiasts and journalists complained about the long gearing, which hampers acceleration and means you can do the entire canyon range in third gear, up to 114 MPH! Not ideal for a stick. Now, the GT4 comes with a PDK 7-speed dual clutch automatic. More gears should mean shorter gears, so does that fix the issue and make the Cayman GT4 a 10/10?
Porsche Cars, NA provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

@jetplume 3 года назад

This is Yerba Buena Road in Malibu, it finishes at Neptune's Net. It used to be undrivable but was just repaved last summer. I will say that if you have a fast car then parts of it are quite annoying because the turns are slow but stubby and you don't get to let loose. But the last section which descends to the sea is absolutely sublime. Also it's nice to see Matt drive these roads, I thought after all those people bitched about his driving that he got scared away from crowded Malibu.

Timing for cyclists is a pro move by Matt

@kleinbottled79 3 года назад

I like to do a slower scouting run for cyclists, road debris, etc, then you can take note of any cars passing you on your way back down which can let you adjust the timing part if you have a good gap or skip it entirely if you don't see anyone at all. But his way is ok for a car I guess. I'm riding canyons on a motorcycle so road debris is a big deal. Small patch of fine gravel in the wrong place can be baaad news. A rock you can see and (almost always) dodge, gravel can be sneaky.

@gky3019 3 года назад

The Cayman has so much more potential than the 911 and Porsche understandably is scared of giving it what it actually deserves. A cayman with shorter ratios and a 9000rpm redline would be the best sports car on the planet, especially better than the GT3...

@ronin84 3 года назад

Was just about to comment this as well. If 2nd in the GT4 tops out around 70/80, that's the problem right there. Above the speed limit in most of the United States. Miata's second tops out at what... 55 or barely 60? For this kind of road I'd honestly prefer a Miata, but to each their own.

@gky3019 3 года назад

@Alaberti That cannot be the case, because the GT3 Touring has a 6 speed manual with a shorter final drive ratio, which shortens every single gear. Not to mention that the 4.0 of the GT3 is a different engine which produces a whole lot more torque compared to the 4.0 in the GT4. Ironically the shorter final drive should be for the GT4 instead. It's quite obvious that Porsche tries to hinder the GT4's potential, which makes sense because the Cayman would outperform the 911 any day, with the same power.

@gky3019 3 года назад

@Alaberti So what is your point ? They know they can sell more if they improve it...They keep improving the 911 but neer work on the cayman, while there would actually be a huge market for the GT4 if it would be quicker than the GT3. Most people owning GT3's just buy it because of the hype, they would buy the GT4 instead if it would be quicker. And since it can be quicker why is Porsche not improving it...Because of the reason i said earlier.

@jamaisvu2664 3 года назад

@@gky3019 Agree with this statement. The cayman has a lot more potential being lighter, shorter wheelbase, and better dynamics. It should have a 2nd gear top at 60. It weight less than 3,000lbs with almost 400hp. I would just have the wheel diameter dropped to a 19 or 18. At least one size smaller at the rear for a little more sidewall.

@@aiGeis true... but let’s bash the ratios of the GT4 because after one youtuber said it you would be crazy not to say it as well. I happen to have a GT4 and in a real world scenario the ratios are fine. Making first shorter won’t really get you anywhere because: A: enough wheelspin as is B: the redline comes so quick you have a hard time shifting fast enough already. Bonus Point: a longer ratio means a higher top speed aaaaand I don’t have to drive at 5.000RPM while cruising 100mp/h on the autobahn. (That’s a thing we do over here in good ol Deutschland)

When you're buying a car it's all about what makes you feel special. I drove my childhood hero, the Evo, and light to light I didn't like it. I drove an mx5 and a 128, I liked it but it didn't give me the fizz. Drove an STI and didn't like it. I drove a Focus ST and almost had it. Then I drove the Fiesta ST and within the first few gear changes, I was in love and had to have one. Still driving it stock power-wise and laughing all the way to work and back and take it for the occasional canyon day. Find what you like to drive, and the car that makes you feel special, and buy that.

Matt, since 2017 PDK has been almost telepathic in Sport Plus (no more redline shifts), you could have just left it in Sport Plus auto and let the car decide when to shift, that would have been helpful comparison on this video. Maybe with it would have decided there is enough torque to use 3rd more often and with lightening fast shifts it might have. I have dozens of friends with Porsches I go on drives with often, most have PDK and I can tell you they never use the paddles. I've started using mine recently just to experience something different on drives. Another comparison to this video would be to drive a 991.1 (i.e. non-turbo charged) 911 on the same road, see if you ever left 2nd gear.

These cars are brilliant. Have you guys heard these with a good exhaust? They sound absolutely insane!

Sucks that you’d have to put an aftermarket exhaust on a $130k car to make it sound better.

@@thedudeabides1443 it sounds fine without an aftermarket exhaust. Doesn't mean I don't want one though

Joseph Herbias glad to hear that. I have a 981 which sounds awesome. Does it sound better or worse than the 981? Someday I’d like to jump up to this one.

@@thedudeabides1443 not sure. Never drove that and this is my first Pcar. Haven't even broken it in yet, but my opinion there is already a lot of drama in 3rd and 4th gear at 4k. If the move to a 992 GT3 or the rumored GT4 RS don't pan out, I am going to ring up JCR. I can also tell you that this car is even noisier stock than my previous SS 1LE I had a Borla Atak with

@@thedudeabides1443 in my opinion every car from factory is too quiet. But that’s just my personal opinion. I haven’t had a car I don’t modify, everyone is different. Different strokes for different folks.
