Amazing launch control time! Smashed my M2 CS which could only manage 4.0. Can’t wait to see what the 4RS does: do you like the render? I think I’m 99% accurate! 😈🔥
Love what you produce in this channel. Nice to hear someone who expresses their own opinions, appreciates different options and doesn't jump on the manual purists bandwagon
Now that we're no longer a part of the EU does this not mean we're going to get the American spec i.e. without the petrol particulate filter or the EU deep state low decibel exhaust noise? They are all EU regulations and the US spec cars don't have them...
This is probably the highest quality channel on YT and I look many of them! Probably others buy their way up because this channel deserves millions of subscribers!
I had the 2016 981 GT4 manual. It was quite a bit slower than my previous Cayman S with PDK. Race cars are all PDK for that reason. Shifting is fun but I will be getting the new GT4 and it will be with PDK, 1/2 sec quicker than the manual.
amazing content. also: "i dont think the pdk is a point against it..." proceeds to regularly and instinctively reach for shifter during entire drive (demonstrating inner thirst to control some of the action)
Exactly. Faster shift times and better 0-60 is great for racing drivers and people who obsess over those things, but driving on the real road is more than just numbers.
PDK: Instant coffee. Manual: making your own espresso from bean you ground yourself. One is efficient, one is satisfying. What’s best is relative and personal.
Great review, love all the graphics. 5 stars in production value. I have the manual, no doubt the PDK is superb and faster, but manual is so engaging, and thus rewarding. I’m sticking with the manual
Cayman uses rear strut suspension, the 911 uses a multi link rear. The front suspension is carry over from the 991 gt3, but the rear is unique to the cayman.
I turned down a build slot on the GT4 thinking it wouldn't be different enough over the 981 GT4 I have. I'm regretting that decision (but am back on the list).
Woahh, is that gulf orange on that GT4 RS Render?? Gulf orange has got to be one of my favorite porsche colors. You should do a video on porsche’s PTS colors
To me, the GT4RS will be the spiritual successor to my Scuderia. Same weight and HP, better electronics, suspension and aero. Hopefully the GT4RS will be as raw and sharp. Anyway, I have my name down for one a hope to get it in 2023.
Matt at The Smoking Tire showed that the 1-6 gearing of the pdk vs manual version are almost the same, which is kind of a bummer. Also, even though Porsche has kept it quiet, there have been a significant number of engine failures on the 4.0L, and even Porsche stuck with the 3.8 for the Cludsport model
Having the 981 GT4, and driving within LA notorious traffic at times for different appointments. I would have very much appreciated a PDK option. But waiting for the RS to be made available. Actuality saw the prototype driven on the 405.
I’ve owned a 981GT4 as well since new and have loved it, and while I’m 3rd on my dealer’s list for an RS, I’m afraid Porsche is going to kill it with the price. You know it’s going to end up being $140-150K with options, and the dealers are going to add $10-20K markup in the US for sure. That’s damn near double the $95K mine cost, and it still won’t have the real Motorsport 4.0L GT3 engine
Every time you do a test on another new Porsche, I think……wow, that’s my new favourite . Every time, like clockwork, I’m smitten anew. I never do this with other brands. Like today, I just love this automobile. What a beauty, both in shape, and in heart and soul. I guess this just shows how easy I am to please, but also how very picky I am.
The best thing about it is the PDK in this car and the Spyder (which I have) is DIALED IN. I have been in Many high end cars with dual clutches including Porsches and none were as fast and smooth. My GT3 RS PDK behaved almost the same but the GT3 RS rattled.... This 4.0 and PDK match up amazing.
I really don't get the arument that the PDK is better because the ratios are shorter. The problem is that Porsche needs to fix the ratios of the manual car, or offer it with 2 different ratio sets.
I’ve got a 992 Carrera S first Porsche I’ve ever had & the more I drive it the more i like it. Definitely a different handling experience than a Lotus Exige that i used to have..I still think the Exige handled better being mid engined (could be the weight as well I guess)..never driven a Cayman or Boxster..but I’ve a feeling the GT4 might be more to my liking🤔
The PDK is realy, realy nice. But it reduces the fun in the car in comparison to the manual in my opinion. i feel myself more involved in my GT4 with the manual. more driving the car instead of being driven at some point. In the end - both options are great, even with the long gearing on the manual, because the car is a blast. Especially on the Nordschleife and the winding country roads around it. Love mine.
Aight thanks to your editor, you got a new subscriber! Edit: I love to see the GT4 RS but I honestly don't think it'll get 500 hps cuz if that happens, the GT3 will serve no purpose in their lineup. I think the power will be buffed to about 450-460ish horses just like the GT3 and GT3 RS's power difference. This is just my opinion though and I could be wrong.
Well it all boils down to personal preference. To me driving any car in a manual is exciting. This PDK or automatic whatever you wanna call it just doesn’t give me the same driving experience and pleasure that a manual would. To each his own..you drive what makes you happy for me it will always be a manual.
I can't decide between manual or PDK. I think the only way to sort it out is to rent one of each. The rear diffuser is so sick, I would get a GTS 4.0 and swap out with the Spyder rear diffuser if possible
interesting, i purchased exactly the same c63s wagon you tested (drifted) based on your review. And just placed an order for a PDK GT4 today after this video! Hopefully I will have an allocation by Q3 next year. Nice video
The truth is most of the lap time difference on the Nurburgring in between 781 and 981 GT4s (manuals) is due to its tyres new Michelin compound rubber (forget 50% more ‘downforce’ and the rest of the rubbish like its added weight, higher fuel consumption, untested engine and emission regs stuffing as well) something this vid totally misses and something even admitted by Porsche. The 718 looks better except on the rear as the GT tradition of having twin exhaust pipes had to be binned to open space for emission regulations massive and weighty plumbing…(nothing to do with downforce…) but the 981 is soooo much more characterful and raw in every aspect
CGI is top, somebody's been learning Maya. PDK even on my 987 Boxster base. A normal person on circuit needs at least semi-auto, just too much to do with a manual...
"The exhaust system on that one (GTS 4.0) sounds nothing as exciting as this one does". Bro, it's literally the same exhaust. They sound exactly the same. Listen to them side by side (I have).
I feel like manual gearboxes get overrated online by young people who have never actually driven a manual car. Driving a manual transmission car around heavy urban traffic is not fun. Doing track days with a PDK transmission is also a lot more fun since after a few laps the nostalgia of shifting gears in a manual wears off and you just want to go fast. Also wanted to say the Spyder in that red colour looks amazing.
The difference is driving a car & playing a video game. If you want to drive, then get the stick, no question. If you want to lay on the couch & play Playstation then get the automatic.

FYI the exhaust on the GT4 and GTS 4.0L is identical. So you’re probably hearing the difference between the Cayman form and Boxster.
Yup + 200RPM difference but its also not noticeable, Porsche confirmed both cars have identical powertrain except some ECU

You are reffering to the "old" GT3. There will be a 992 verion of the GT3 and the stats are gonna be pretty mind boggling

@@DoggyEffect the 992 GT3 is already up and running and it has 510 bhp already.
@@rickvesny5541 Yes I think so too. 500 would mean that the GT4 RS will be a direct competitor to the 992 GT3 and that wont be good to Porsche itself.

Tested a 981 GT4 yesterday and the clutch pedal is something else . The pdk might be faster , but it’s not worth it compared to the fun you’re having
