- What makes the 981 Cayman GTS so special! Even comparing with a highly optioned 3.4 S, the GTS is a sensational package.

Managed to get myself a cayman 981 gts a few months ago. Nothing makes you feel like this one does. Awesome
Thanks Gary, hope you are still enjoying it with every mile! Raj
I bought a 2016 Guards Red 981 GTS in January 2023 15k Miles $72,900.00 Ive put 5000 miles on the car and absolutely love it, people cant not look at it. Smokin Hot car ! Cant wait to track it.
They really are fantastic sports cars! Raj
Love my 981GTS GT Silver Manual
Fantastic cars! Enjoy
Good review - out of the factory the 981 Cayman GTS is 340HP and 380Nm of torque plus it has a third radiator (centre) whereas the S was 325HP and 370Nm of torque without the third radiator. Whilst it was possible to spec most of the go faster goodies on the S, the reality is it rarely happened. This car with PASM, sports chrono, performance sports exhaust and Porsche torque vectoring (with PDK) is an absolute joy to drive, you can wring it out and it sounds glorious. In my view it will go down as one of the best sports cars made by Porsche and I say this as 991.2 GT3 RS owner. The other point is it is really chuckable in way a 911 can't match other than if it has rear axle steering. A rare joy in a sea of turbocharged blandness. I can guarantee your customer will be pleased with his purchase.
Sorry but that’s not correct, the 982 GTS only does 400 PS
perhaps you meant 340?
@@jonfrench7133 yes 340, just a typo - corrected in original text
@@jonfrench7133 Yes I know - its fairly obvious its a typo - which I have corrected
@@VK6AB- oh dear
This car is very special in its own class. Envy and super rare to find one available
Thanks! Raj
Great video. I am currently in the market for a 981 GTS. Wish me luck!
Thanks and good luck! Raj
Great review, owned my 2014 GTS since last Nov & love it. Best all round sports car I’ve ever owned.
Thanks David, These really are sensational sports cars, thanks for your insights into ownership too! Raj
Ah great run through Raj as always, some things I didn’t know there so very interesting and my buyers remorse (guilt) has dissipated a little - my Guards Red 981 GTS is such a lovely thing, on the lowered suspension and with a PDK. I paid a lot for it on 22k miles, but looking at it now I prefer it to the gt4 it’s the perfect all rounder 🥰
Thanks Scott. They are sensational and really the best all round road Porsche! Cheers, Raj
Plus, market value is pretty special on these cars. 981 GT Silver 🏁
Thanks! Raj
thanks mate great review
Thanks so much! Raj
Great video 👍
Thanks James! Hope you are well, Raj
Actually in the Uk , GTS spec was around £8k more than the S
Thanks for the insight! Raj
Wow, didnt know this car model was existing. Cant be many produced? Did they sell them worldwide?
I believe it was a worldwide model, UK and US for sure. Raj
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE Thx for answering. That would be a Great car.
Following your Chanel and its Great to learn from you.
You pick awsome cars and shopping them, sade that i live in Sweden though.
I have a 981 S and Will proced in my knowlegde and ownership.
Thx a lot
Nice video, great car... but I am biased 😉
Indeed Ian! Hope you are well and enjoying your beautiful Porsche! Raj
I’m torn between cayman gts and 997.2 c2s. ?? How they compare only driven a 997.2.
The Cayman GTS is more engaging and exciting initially, but the 911 is also great once it gets under your skin. All down to personal preference of course! Raj
Totally agree. My friend had a 997.2 GTS PDK when I had my 981 GTS PDK and whilst I adored his 997, I just felt the Cayman was a superior drive (for my driving style and needs). The induction and exhaust is addictive and the mid engine chassis which is a beaut is just so workable in and out of corners!
As I said in another of Raj’s videos, i hero worship my 718 Spyder, but I truly miss my 981 in a melancholic way. Just the perfect blend of old and modern Porsche. They truly created a gem with the 981 GTS
great car & sound
but on the highway the exhaust gives "drone"
With the exhaust in quiet mode as well? I haven't noticed this myself. Cheers
@@MRSPORTSCARSPORSCHE
in the beginning did not notice either ..
How can you check if your cayman gts has PTV?
PIWIS 3 or other Diagnostics can lookup the options installed on a Porsche, or phone Porsche dealer near you! Cheers, Raj
thanks for that much love.
