right i was like wait the rs is in manual?? Gonna be honest, I think this car would be so much more fun with a manual, but I guess "performance" and all. . .
@@YasukeNakamoto Caymans are known for long ass gears, I know a manual always seems to be better but one go at a Porsche PDK and you’ll understand why this car gets so much more out of the auto.
@@YasukeNakamoto I think the philosophy of the cars make sense. If you want to drive a manual, you’re probably not seeking the fastest lap times, you’re seeking driving enjoyment. In that case the non-RS model is a better buy.
@@zakarywin7645 I think the Manual is best suited for the Cayman GTS's imo. I'm a manual driver myself too, my current car is a Toyota 86, and damn are they best with a Manual. For the GT4 RS, I'd still take the Manual over the PDK. As good as those autos are, I'll take driver engagement over purely performance
I don't have GT4 RS money, but I do have decent headphone money. Probably the only time I'll ever experience the sound of this thing, so I'm glad the audio is excellent.
That sounds amazing. Maybe best sounding car in the world, at least from cabin POV. So raw in the last 500 RPM. Don’t need more performance when it sounds this good.
ı love this channel because his straight forward and mentions about rear seats he sits and test back seats even sport cars, no fancy intros or outros calm and whole video flows smoothly. he is not so excited to yell or talk loud so i can watch his videos when im chilling at home. Great job topher and also i love your watches you wear, you have taste about watches i think :)
This was honestly such a high quality POV. From the camera quality, angle and mic. Just perfect, keep this current setup forever. You've gained a new subscriber👊
Very light, 3,200lbs is very light for a modern sports car with all the modern safety regulations and stuff, its not a lightweight like a Miata or a BRZ, but those cars also arent lugging around a 4.0L engine. Even the new flagship Lotus, the Emira weighs over 3,100lbs.
@@sebastianromero420RS cars dont get them since they’re for the maximum performance (yet they limit the 4rs with the skinny front tires???), that’s why there is the manual option for the non rs gt4 and gt3
@@sebastianromero420 Why would you want a manual when you have a 7 speed PDK? Literally the greatest and fastest gearbox ever put in a road car. The GT4 RS is also the highest performance version of the Cayman, it wouldn't really make sense to put a manual in an RS car, cause the PDK offers far more performance than any manual
@@lachlanjeffery88 I just wouldn't by a manual Porsche, cause their PDKs are just so good. If I were to buy something like a Mustang I would definitely get a manual cause the other option would be that awful 10 speed torque converter.
The induction noise absolutely makes this car. Good lord. What a lovely sound. The way the throttle blips so rapidly on downshifts is incredible. It's a truly special car.
It’s so cool how even through the binaural audio the engine sounds closer to you in this than in the 911 GT3. Those shifts couldn’t be quicker. Such an amazing car.
I just think this is the best car in the world. I Can’t find it, or afford it if I could find it, or fit in it if I could afford it. But I think it’s the best.
I can HEAR the joy in your voice- this porsche is emitting joy from you. Now let me ask you a question: why do i have to live vicariously through you to feel this, eh???
I can't think of a car I would want to drive more than this. A literal example of driving pleasure. And the reason that there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, like a Porsche.
Z06 has double wishbone front and rear and trick magnetic dampers, while the GT4 RS has a 4 wheel STRUT based suspension and PASM (which isn't nearly as fast acting as MRC). Sooooo, you decide.
Probably the same reasoning for why i hate the look of the GT3 RS. It looks to extra to me with all the black accents and decals on these cars. Its not without purpose though 🤷♂️
It's amazing how good that engine sounds although to me it sounds really muffled. Only because I have the same engine but my exhaust has no side mufflers and smaller cats. I can't imagine what this car would sound like with full exhaust...
That's the most manual looking auto shifter I have seen.

This is great i was expecting the normal talk through videos but instead its just raw pov driving love it.
You must be new here
that last 700 rpm is everything.
That shrieking sound when it gets towards redline just makes your adrenaline rush! What a sound!
4:37 Oh God that sound!

Hard to say that the Z06 exists
best sounding 6 cyl yes. Best sounding car no.

I'm in love with this car, the sound of air box is insane!!!
I love that he doesn't talk a lot during the video so we can hear that gorgeous engine sound
when you started driving, i immediately got up and grab my bluetooth earphones to hear this beauty in a much more personal way ❤
Glad you got to drive this! Been enjoying your content as of late. Good luck and hope to see more. 🍺
Oh my God... the sounds that car makes. I am in love!

That engine note is absolutely amazing. I had a smile across my face the entire drive. What a beauty to hear.
Same thing for me 🤩
This thing is eargasm!
Yeah I had to cut out some inappropriate sounding “ughhh’s” from this one
Quite the downgrade going from the Little Tikes to this, but still great video as always.
Tell me about it!
What a machine! I'm honestly more sold on this 718 GT4 RS than the 992 GT3 RS.
This is a thing of beauty, very pleasing to the eyes, ears, and soul. Thank you for all your work Topher. Love your videos!💪🏽

The absolute dream car. Sound is simply a symphony. Great review as always man
The induction noise absolutely makes this car. Good lord. What a lovely sound. The way the throttle blips so rapidly on downshifts is incredible. It's a truly special car.
I bought one of the first ones of these cars to hit California. Used it as my daily driver for six months. Perfection. Greatest car ever.
this car sounds INSANE. what a beauty
I love how the steering wheel looks without the buttons. It’s just a wheel. Brings me back to simpler times
That was soul-filling! if that came in Emmanuel I would sell everything I own and just move into this machine and call it a day.
The closest satisfaction of me driving a Porsche GT4 RS will be this video playing through my 2001 miata bose speakers on some curvy roads. 😅
That shifter got me in the first half ngl.

where do you live/drive? That looks so amazing!
Pity RUclips had no way to stream back all those glorious G-forces. So fun :D

been waiting to see your pov on this for a while especially after seeing sub topher and charlies pov on this car
that sound is glorious
This might be one of the greatest video in the channel thus far
So beautiful in every imaginable way
From the chimes to engine sound to manual 🔥😮💨
Plz Include MSRP in description please
@12:47 that guy taking a leak? Or just enjoying the view?
probably both
maybe both
Doing his part to water the hillsides and end the drought in California.
You know he's INTO it when he stops talking!
It makes you want to drive it, it must be pure joy what an amazing car!!
i like the t rex more btw
The last 1000rpm is pure bliss.
All that with air conditioning on. Amazing!
my dad have one in blue shark color, it’s amazing. he has got a gt3 rs 2016 and a 992 gt3 touring,but nothing compares to this, i can tell you
That last 1000 rpm’s scream
Been waiting for this one!!
Do you ever reveal where you take the cars on their test drives? I need to take my Miata on this one asap!
keep it up i love your content brother 💪🔥
That’s an epic sound 🎉❤
What are your GoPro settings?
This or gt3/rs is the best Porsche hands down!!!❤❤❤
Actual dream of a driving experience, I bet. Hell yeah
Does the engine bay heat transfer inside the cabin during longer drives in the summer making it uncomfortable?
Absolutely stunning. This is my dream car.
The 4.0 L makes heavenly noises!!
Fabric door handle ??? I mean.....how much is the weight really saved ????
That scream at the top end omfg
ممكن فيراري f430 2007 او جاكور F TYPE 2014
Most LFA type car ever, spine tingling musical noise
Is that Decker Rd. Malibu, Ca.?
Absolute music from that motor
What do you mean when you say "there is not a tonne of steering feel"
Bro went crazy🔥🔥
I can't think of a car I would want to drive more than this. A literal example of driving pleasure. And the reason that there is nothing, and I do mean nothing, like a Porsche.
That 9k max rev is crazy 😅
How does it compare to z06?
Z06 has double wishbone front and rear and trick magnetic dampers, while the GT4 RS has a 4 wheel STRUT based suspension and PASM (which isn't nearly as fast acting as MRC). Sooooo, you decide.
So, when do the impressions begin
Wow I soon as I came across your channel I subed instantly
I luckily got one and the sound in the video is just like in real life ! really nice
are u breaking with your left foot?
hey topher, bit of an off-topic question but what nato watch strap is that? looks sharp!
Got it from Phenomenato. Took forever to arrive but great quality. Admiralty
Grey Nato Strap
20 mm / Short / Brushed
@@TheTopher thanks, I really appreciate it!
Just incredible…. The peak of Porsche Ice
12:47 concern about open fires? Or someone watering the plants?
You need that yellow and black Cali license plate on that rig!
why do you blur out the speed when you go above 90?
What is the white car?
The best car in the world GT4 RS❤ and GT3 RS 992❤
does he blur out the speed?
Hp that was relevant in the 90's!
So, don't need speakers to pipe in engine sound lol.
Gratitude!
No Sport Chrono option for the GT4?
am i the only one that doesnt like how it looks? live everything about it except that back part for some readon
Probably the same reasoning for why i hate the look of the GT3 RS. It looks to extra to me with all the black accents and decals on these cars. Its not without purpose though 🤷♂️
Oh lawd, just look at it. It’s perfect!
Which road is this ?
Only one word can describe... 11:50
I’m so happy to see a video like this, I hope someday i could afford this car because it’s my exact dream car 😊
150k marked up to no joke 260k, insane.
It's amazing how good that engine sounds although to me it sounds really muffled. Only because I have the same engine but my exhaust has no side mufflers and smaller cats. I can't imagine what this car would sound like with full exhaust...
Does it come in Mens? Oops I mean Manual
Nope, only standard GT4 which is ending production this year
Yes please.
Never been a fan of the cayman over the 911. But this ones beautiful
How does this compare to the Little Tikes Cozy Coupe?
Yup, best sounding 6 cylinder car.
too bad its doesn't get the double wishbone for the front suspension like the 992 gt3.
