Old vs New! 987 Porsche Cayman & 718 GT4 on the Nürburgring😍 

The steering wheel shot is really good, almost like augmented reality, we get a better idea of what you are doing in the corners

“Well, YOU need more powerful brakes” haha on point

The 987 was so underrated when it came out. This car is a gem! To this day one of the best bang for buck with the 997 turbo and the R35 GT-R.

One of the most enjoyable laps I’ve watched. Sub 400hp (light ish) cars are where it’s at, far more enjoyable for us mere mortals, and in the hands of some like Misha they dance along the track 🕺

As a fellow 987 driver this one warmed my heart. And I was surprised that Misha hasn't driven dozens of Caymans already - they seem so ubiquitous on the ring.

Haha - Thanks for the kind comments Misha, that's my little Toyota Vitz at 6.08min, but it's running standard power of 150bhp.

I got a 987.2 Boxster S and have zero regrets. I can't tell you how many times I've surprised people at track days with how quick it is with a bit of suspension, and just a tune. It's a fantastic platform.

Love how he really enjoyed that lap! Awesome to see him smile and let you just get it.

I have a white 987.2 Boxster S with the 997GT3 brake master cylinder, race fluid and pads. The pedal is firm, the car stops on a dime and it's not difficult to engage ABS. Hoping to drive it on the Nordschleife soon!

I'm actually glad the speedometer go pro fell down to see that nice angle from behind , I don't know about others but I felt like I was in the back seat , crazy !

Just shows how the Cayman/Boxster platform is so enjoyable. Arguably more "fun" than higher HP, more "capable" P-Cars.

I have the 987.2 cayman S black edition (32/500) with pdk and sport chrono. I go back to this video every now and then, what a great lap! 😁Hope to see more cayman content in the future

This model porsche looks great in white. A nice lap you did there, the car seemed a little less stable than your other porsche runs, but that must be because its not track-built and a daily driver. Thank you for sharing this lap, i enjoyed watching this one!

Loved it, new camera angles look fire as well

I love these camera angles... you can sense more speed even without seeing the speedo...

That is a beautiful car in white with the gold wheels! I really like it! And the performance seems to be quite good, too!

Great film. Micha thank you for sharing the last year here on RU-vid. Have a fantastic Xmas and I hope 2023 brings everything you wish for 👏👍😀🍾

Love the car. Suspension and buckets in a 987 really transform the car (I've got the same seats).

Love the Cayman content!

this one was awesome! Loved the car, the lap and the owner seems like a standup guy!

Hey Misha, earlier this year you drove drivetribe's manual M5 E61. I was wondering when will your video be released 🤔 Спасибо за контент, сам в ближайшем будущем вряд-ли смогу приехать на ринг, поэтому твои видео как бальзам на душу :)

Driver is an absolute monster. He was eating the track and everything in it 👏

This was a amazing easy lap...its looks easier to do it!!! Damnnn what a magnificent car...love it!! Top lap Misha

Yes. Very nice lap. And a comeback of the year. No you need better brakes. 😂😂 Excellent video

Keep this pov it works so well and is better to see cause the outside view up top is easy to watch and still view driver prospective & the passenger view helps. Love the vids fam👊🏽💛💯

Ah, another one of my dream car :) Love me some Ultraleggeras too - they're mostly among the lightest wheels you can get for a certain size, that's why I chose them too - apart from them looking great. Bitch to clean tho 😅

Nice lap as always sir The bottom left camera view is very nice

Great lap, and owner alike!! Love your content, all the way from Cape Town, South Africa 🇿🇦

Nice! A few extra chunks on the Caracciola-Karussell but sounded and handled great. Smiles all round😀👍

I do like it when you’re driving cars like this at a very quick pace and then an even faster car comes past you! 🤯 It goes to show it doesn’t matter how quick you think you or your car are, there’s always someone quicker. 👍🏼

Love the set up

What a sweet car! Thanks for a great lap. Would prefer the incar insets to be smaller than the track view. Just a thought. 😍

I could really feel the grip the car makes from this video, makes me want this car even more

I love your driving style so much ❣️👌🏼 It reminds me of the style from Walter Röhrl 😅 Merry Christmas and all good things for 2023 Micha ❕ Love from Berlin, Ramsi 😘🙋🏻‍♂️

As a 987.2 s owner with the pdk and sport chrono watching this makes me want to track my car everyday

Great video 👏👏💪

I like the over the shoulder angle. I hope it makes a come back.

🤣 the think with the brakes. Very funny!

Props to the driver of the Green GT4🔥

Thanx for the Video & Great Car 😊

There's something about Cayman's that I feel like I adore 'em even more than GT3's and the 2008 GT2 or GT2RS which is my favorite porsche 🥰

Have had my cayman 987.2 for 10 years now and the first mod I did was the brakes! Giro discs, pagid pads, steel hoses, pfc fluid, gt3 brake master cylinder, gt2 brake ducts, titanium insulating plates and now it stops really well!

Nice lap guys!

Steering wheel shots are 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Man I wanted to build a 987 just like that! It's clearly everything I hoped for it!

Love to see the 987.2 !! love my 2009!

For what you pay, greatest car ever made.

Great car, great sense of humour ! You can never go wrong in a Cayman !

misha always so relaxed while driving fast, and just any old random dudes car without any problem, left foot right foot... like he's done years in the car.

I do have the almost exact same car for the NS, but pre-facelift. So 295hp, but also KW Clubsport 2-way, using 19" 997S wheels with Cup 2 also. I love it, it´s reliable, comparatively cheap to maintain and not slow at all. I could fix the brake issues by 90% after I tested a couple different pads and found that the good old Pagid RSL-29 work well with the OEM or ATE rotors that I use. Squeal but work 😉 I´m only fighting with a bit of high speed oversteer because there are almost no street legal wings for this car in Germany. Did some small aero mods by now, more to come. Goal for 2023? Sub-8 BTG if I get a clean lap one day 😁 The car can do it, I know that 🤣

This reminds you why nobody needs anything more than a Cayman S or 718 S

Perhaps a strap with velcro ends put over the GoPro base and wrapped around the column would help the camera stay attached? A small hole in the middle of the strap could be made to pass through the swiveling end of the GoPro attachment to sandwich the strap between the camera and the self-adhesive base. I think it would be pretty easy to add-in to your workflow when setting up the cameras and not be bulky to carry.

Stunning 987 ! ❤😊

Awesome car 👌

The Cayman is built on a revised 986 platform that was never intended to race or be tracked. That is works on track too supports the brilliance of the original platform.

love the new camera angle

Hello, nice video. I would love to see some one comparing the 2012 Cayman R & 718 GT4

this is a great video for me because I have been looking buying a 2012-2016 cayman S/GTS or a 718 cayman S/GTS 2.5

That Vitz was flying

This was. Fast run

987.2 sounds also amazing especially with headers.

Oh, that engine.. What an engine note to behold. Wow.

That owner is straight winning at life. "You need more powerful brakes." LOL

Dude that 987 interior looks better than the new one. With that wheel. Crazy.

That’s why I am not selling my CS and will not look further on any other models. It is a perfect adrenaline machine. I have put so much sweat and time in modifying its suspension, cooling and oil system. It’s a one adrenaline pump besides my 4c.

scary when something falls out of sight and it can end up behind the break pedal! Misha should have told the passenger, hold the steering wheel while I find it... as J/C would say, some poo has shot out.... lol

Nice lap. I would love to do a lap of the ring in my 986 Boxster S but I am old and scared. 🤣🤣🤣👍

Good video

The gearing is also good: no need to shift often gears

"That's a big wing, challenge accepted."

Nice guy beautiful car handles amazing plenty of HP to have a great day out

boy.. if that left cam was juuuuuust a little bit higher up.... We could see the steering inputs and how the car reacts! Time to try different methods for speedo cams it seems .. they keep on letting loose

Whats the wheel & tyre setup? I'm planning to replace my 981GTSs OEM wheels as well

987.2 ❤

Very nice lap! the car is still amazing BTW the red Toyota car is a Yaris (Vitz) with 1.7 VVTi i guess

Damn it is really fast when in pro driver.. it took the corner very smooth and powerful

Caymans: gods car.

Nice vid :) thanks guys I got the exact same car, the gt3 brake cylinder will be installed this week ^^ What about the recaros, could you get them declared for TÜV? (assuming the owner is monitoring this chat :)

I'm on the fence of a 789.1S or the non S. I'm just a pleb but that bigger flat 6 is really enticing

Dat zag er soepel uit, en dat groen ding met die grote vleugel kon je redelijk bijhouden.

Love the 987.2 cayman S, not very common with the manual, most people went pdk.

In Brazil we say: Esta foi no talo! (This one was on the stalk)

Steering wheel angle 👍👍👍 please include it in future videos

bring back this camera setup, this is awesome (no speedo cam). speedo cam could just be a small window in a bottom corner.

Haha he was awesome

I drive a 987mk2 base model 2.9. Totally love it. Is the oil cooling system performance enough for a track? 987mk2 doesn't have oil temp gauge so I'm worried when tracking it

awesome

Mods of the car in the description would be also nice. What are the pads actually?

Looks like you can’t go wrong with a Porsche. I really liked this session (and the camera angles) . Congrats to the owner for spec’ing and modding his Porsche to his needs.

Getting noises like that out of Cup 2's means you're hauling a$$! ;-)

this camera angle is way better

Terrifying and awesome. What a car, what a driver.

Entspannter owner ❕😅👍🏼

Idk why but this felt especially fast

Bez starca nema udarca! ;-)

I wonder misha want to put 18 inch wheels with more rubber or stick with 19 inch wheels?

Jesus Misha, like, I knew you could drive, but that foxhole section, as you would say, wow, wow wow wow. Great driving, great car.

Misha is like fake taxi, but with different type of pleasure hehe
