Great video 🤓!!! Last February 2023, I acquired my new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 which has the 4L NA flat six cylinder engine (same unit as a GT4) and a PDK gearbox. Power output (394 bhp) and torque (317 lb-ft) are a nice match to this car's sensible curb weight (~3200 lbs). The color is Gentian Blue metallic with a black/chalk all-leather interior and silver wheel rims. It's definitely an entertaining driver's car! So far, I've only done 452 miles but hopefully a lot more this coming Summer! The PDK is also a lot of fun (it's definitely quick) 🤓 All the best and thanks again from Colorado!

@audiocosmonaut3883 3 года назад

Good stuff, you guys :-) A real driver's car. Pity about the slightly off gearing. Still lovely bit of kit 🔥

@DontPanicDear 3 года назад

The gearing is always mentioned..... I’ve lived with it for six years now and some other thoughts. The ratios are brilliant for the roads the car was designed to excell on. It’s just that they don’t have any bearing to the speed limits. Drive it like nobody’s looking, and they’re bang on! 1st gear is fully exploitable in the dry, which is not the norm for cars of this power. Even the 2.5T GTS has full traction in 1st. This makes them really fast out of the really tight corners etc. Almost a 4x4 level of traction. These cars are about fluidity and balance. The sweet spot for fun and sane speeds. They are not supposed to be traction limited wild hairy rides, which shorter gears would make them. The 911 has amazing traction due to a byproduct of its packaging. The Cayman is given the same attributes via gearing. I just think it’s what Porsche want from their series production cars.

You make a valid point and I get what you mean..... but If you are able and lucky enough to be able to spend this sort of money on a great sports car then I do think they have come on since then yes.

@MartinPool 3 года назад

@@Motorflix Don't take it too personally, I still liked the video and appreciate you making it. I hear a fair bit of clipping and popping on your voice, and I think the richness of the engine note doesn't come out as well as in some other reviews. To me it's distinctly at a lower standard than the video or narration. Maybe it's easy to fix with a better mic or something?

@Motorflix 3 года назад

O please don't miss understand me, I have not taken it personally at all. I want to make sure it is better in future. I agree with the clipping, but once in the editor the car had gone (only had it for two days) and couldn't reshoot. Had to work with what I had at the time. The levels must have been off on the Lav mic as was being used indoors for other commercial work day previous. I will be more vigilant to check levels in future, lesson learned. Annoying but these things happen unfortunately. Thank you for watching though, constructive criticism is always welcome as how does one get better without it!!

@@Motorflix - I think you will be really amazed at just how good the Miata is. Especially for the price, the Miata or MX-5 is the sports car bargain of the century. Porsche is obviously higher quality but bang for the buck and just for driving fun you’ll be delighted. The 2021 has a better more powerful engine with a higher redline. It’s a NA engine and weighs about a 1000 lbs less than the Boxster. So you’ve got a fast little nimble roadster. You simply don’t need to spend Porsche money to have that type of fun.

Yes I think it is true of some of the GT products. For example the 911r was so rare and special you could not just walk in and buy one. With GT3s I believe to start with it is similar as they offer them to their good clients first. Hence the residual value is high, and when they first go on sale to start with they sell over list.
