Porsche Cayman GT4 | INSIDE evo 

Andreas (stupid auto correct )

Michael Lewis andreas is probably the german andrea.. :)

Fuck yes, we should bring this message to every other sports car producer. Because I want some competition from others when I'm driving my GT4 some day in the future..

Jason 9000 RPM in the RS version of this maybe =)

***** Putting that altogether would not be much cheaper than this. The engine + trans + DME in the 991 GT3 is probably worth $50K *used*

And you know this because you have or driven a GT3?

dont even need to compare it to US horses since most of the people there cant even drive a manual trans.

I know!!!!!!!

Its really a shame

It doesn't need loads of power, it's light as it is anyway.

It's German. It has 400hp at least.

Porsche Curves and it's N/A...what more do these people want lol the Regular 1st gen Cayman isnt powerful At All but is Super fun to drive. This thing will be INSANE. #ManualTransFTW

It's also less than half the price, you cannot get everything...

Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect world.

***** yes some of the new autos are technical marvels, but in the same way a good electronic keyboard can sound like a real piano its still not the same.

It wouldn't make sense for a manual P1 or LaFerrari. Wouldn't it?

He said sports car not supercar or hypercar .

M AR Well the idea of a "sports car" is rather blurred. Although Ferrari's and Lambos are fast cars, they arnt sports cars as they appeal to the rich more than the enthusiasts But when u speak of "sports cars" which refers to those cars that are driven on track or RESEMBLE the track experience, then YES all Sports Cars should have a manual gearbox option... IMO

greatest of all time

Not sure if I could have said it better.

I see yo everywhere your comment always sticks out with that red genesis profile pic lol

trevor philips Hopefully it will be a blue WRX soon xD

Haha nice! Good luck with that man, cheers!

Hmm dig deeper next time. Its all delicate dance.

I agree with you, don't get me wrong, but are you actually going to buy one? Most people with the money for a GT3 would opt for a PDK car, and the sales reflect that. It's a shame but it's the reality.

HyperLeafBlower How do the sales reflect that? They've sold every GT3 they've made throughout every generation of the car... The old ones with the manual sell for over their original stickers proving the market for more manuals was there...

I'm not saying the market isn't there, but you can't deny that manual lovers are the minority, especially in terms of people that are able to spend that much money on a car like that. The older models sell for more because they're viewed by collectors and those types as a high point in the 911's history because of the Mezger engine, hydraulic steering, and general "purity". Not just the manual. A lot of people unfortunately look at a manual gearbox as outdated or a step backwards, and if they're about to buy something like that they want the "best" possible car they can get so they can brag about the numbers. At the end of the day Porsche needs to make money and they stand to make more money with a PDK car than a manual, even if it's the only option. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have a manual if I could. That's the one thing keeping the 991 GT3 or the forthcoming RS from being my favourite car out right now, (not that I could buy one).

What mr. Preuninger was saying is that the 991 gt3 is against some very big competition, where it has to compete with technical advanced cars (speciale, 650s). So the gt3 needs PDK. It has moved up a price class and speed as well, so this opens up a place for the gt4. They basically can do whatever they want with the car, because it has no competition.

It is about a freedom of choice, this kind of car is perfect for a manual. The GT3 kind of needed to join the PDK bandwagon.

I agree, manual is perfect for the cayman GT4, it's light, nimble, simplistic, and not too much power making for a pure driving experience.

clockworkwar Another thing I think is funny is that people are saying they've just killed the GT3 with the GT4, blah blah. Funny thing is the allocations for GT3's were gone within months (only around 1500 will come to the U.S. aka they're all sold.) and priority for the GT3RS are set for 918 owners, and the rest will sell within months, maybe weeks. These RU-vid worriers don't understand that Porsche will always win. The GT3's all sold, the RS will all be accounted for before hitting dealers when it get's unveiled, and now they've made the GT4, aka more money in their pockets from people who wants a cheaper track focused car.

Maybe because they're buying a car to enjoy driving it, not to try and set a land speed record for a straight line. Most people aren't being paid to set the fastest lap time possible, they're spending a lot of money to enjoy the skill and have fun driving. In real world driving an automatic is incredibly boring in a sports car, no matter how fast the automatic shifts sequentially. It's fun to actually rev the engine and put the car in the exact gear you want and feel the engine engage instead of handing control over to a computer program that tries to simulate the experience. Putting the car in "D" and having it shift for you or flicking little paddles isn't enjoyable, so what's the point?

maxpowers3732 Believe me I understand, I have a stick. But the PDK in the GT3 have been made to the point where it seems very enjoyable just to hear the thump every time you shift, also in "manual" it doesn't shift for you at redline, doesn't downshift for you when you slow down, it'll only put it into first to prevent stalling. According to Porsche, 85% of owners track their cars on a regular basis. which makes the PDK very fitting.

Nice

Looks great.

TOM :D whut you doing here?

Tomcat, can you do a shout-out to me in your next video of the crew please? If so, my game name is Cjbeast43. I really want a shout out from you. 😄😄😄

***** maybe you don't know him while you just send him a random text that doesn't even make sense. Tomcat's videos are awesome!!! From BeamNG Drive to The Crew

It has a shorter wheelbase, it doesn't actually need rearwheel steering.

If you've ever driven a mid engine car vs a rear engine car there is a noticeable difference just from the location of the engine weight. Mid engine cars rotate so nicely compared to Front or rear engine... In a turn a car will rotate around the largest mass so when the weight is behind the rear axle it's more work to get it to change direction.
