Although a few Porsche models get rated higher in the DougScore, this is the one I'd have -- hands down. For me, the best modern Porsche.
Porsche, please make it with three pedals!
Hey Doug I’m a huge fan!❤
@Ben sup Ben
The happiest u been behind the wheel in a while ..AND IT SHOWS
Even more than Carrera GT? Or just new Porsches?
Many Porsche fans regarding the Boxster/Cayman as THE Porsche, Doug 😁
22:01 "So let's talk about this car"......(18 seconds of no talking but the engine screaming with Doug smiling... enough said!)
Gold!

hahaha... was just about to write this also! 😅 He couldn't help it! 😁😅
Hahaha forgets he is recording 😁 "......must tell you things"
An EV can never make an enthusiast that much satisfied.
11 PM: I just put it on full throttle on my home theater audio, my apartment's neighbors ringing the door bell.
I love that Porsche don't stray too far from their iconic body style
By "iconic" you mean Volkswagen Beetle?
@@porvoonosho and VW Beetle design was mainly stolen from Tatra 97
@Paul S na it’s actually just so much better than most everything else by leagues it doesn’t need changing
So impressive that they can Continental to evolve it so every new model Feels Fresh and so miuch better then the old just like lambo
@Paul S and still they sell like crazy , owners love them and the reviewers always give them praise …would be stupid by them to change a winning concept
I love how Porsche listens to it's customers. This is one of the most special cars Porsche has ever released.
Doug was so happy during the driving section never seen him like this only while driving the CGT.
Look what he owns now
@@nicke9910 What is he driving now?
@@BloodySoup74 Carrera GT
Crazy how they can get that much power out of a naturally aspirated 4.0 engine. Wow.
German engineering power, baby!
Must’ve called the engineers @ GM & made some inquiries, 670hp outta 5.5L 🔥🔥🔥🔥 best power output ever from a n/a ICE -
As Honda lover, its the good way how to do it. And peoples choose to love it tday...but, there is a history about it.
@@miroslavdockal9468 Same here. Hondas make my favorite 6cyls
@@blueazure9658 , they make my fav four cylinders...in 90'.....and these cars are so easy and cheap to ride as daily, even tday, and they bring the smile on everyone, who drove it. I take a lesson from history, where there was better place to live, from these ones.
That engine note is unbelievably intoxicating, seriously one of the greatest engines of all time
I definitely agree!
omg i came
@@LuxuryNoCap ??????????
@@LuxuryNoCap WTF! This is RUclips, not that site...
No kidding!
THISSS may just be Doug's best car review ever. The man played this Porsche like a musical instrument. When I close my eyes I can still hear flat six engine song, 9000 rpm strong. Truly THE virtuoso video of the channel.
Yes. This is the first review of him that I watch where he doesn't seem to be mostly clueless about the car.
“Not making cars for collectors, making cars for drivers” damn….. literally brought tears to my eyes.
Only a 6 on styling? Damn I’d give this a 9. Absolutely gorgeous
For sure, hes tripping lol
it's a pretty boring look for the price but it's nice overall. I'd give it a 7.
Ehh it's a little too busy with all the black vents, the black wheels with the body accent are really played out. I think in the right spec it would look a lot better.
Doug is fairly harsh, but realistic with his grading. I agree a 7 would be better, but in the end it's more or less subjective with just some objective metrics.
It looks like every other porsche
One of the best of Doug's episodes! You can see how much he's enjoyed it
Doug has always loved the Cayman. Honestly the Cayman is cooler than the 911 because it's so good they have to nerf it.
I agree I love watching the Cayman videos because it’s my favorite too and it’s awesome to see hi so excited 😁
This is the first time I've ever been interested in ANY version of the Cayman. This particular color, this spec... it just does it for me. Yup, I want one! This car is gorgeous and it sounds fantastic!
Haven’t seen Doug rip it this hard in a while. Mans was SLAMMING through those gears 😂
I remember seeing this car being used to show off Porsche’s new synthetic fuels, it will forever remain iconic to me.
@Ben Ben.... how the great have fallen.
@Ben You made me click off a 24/7 puppy livestream for this shit, not cool Ben
Definitely a certified hood classic
@Ben Oh boy, another video to dislike and report!
I love the fact that Porsche continues to produce cars with soul and sportiness like this Cayman GT4 RS
Agree. I also love that they don't stray too far from their iconic body style
@Jimmy Two Times Compared to where cars are going and how most have indeed become boring, I think we should just appreciate some of the last hurrahs before everything becomes electric.
@Jimmy Two Times this car is miles better than the emira in every way possible
@Jimmy Two Times you said porsche is heavier and etc then recommends the emira? If you watched car wow, they even said lotus makes lightweight nimble cars and the emira is heavy as hell. You just contradicted yourself. Cars have to be heavier for more modern regulations, safety standards. All that. Of that wasn't the case, the damn chaparral 2j would still be around somehow. 🙄
Only problem is at 6’2 I couldn’t get in a lotus Elise. Let alone consider fitting in one. Nice looking car though. Your practically sitting on the ground in the Elise it’s so low. Like a go kart
Doug! You had the perfect chance to mention something quirky about that bumble bee landing on this yellow and black car! 10:13
Porsche is my favorite car brand. This one is very nice looking one.
I know this is buried, I just had to say that this is hands down Dougs best review of a car. The driving section is perfect
That exhaust sound pull as he drove by a Tesla is great
Agreed 💯 😅
the sounds are symphonic, everything you'd ever want to hear from a car, the induction sounds give it a videogame'y feel too
The one car that just HAS to pass him? Of course it’s a Dodge Charger.
Totally agree! Was going to write the same comment. Doug’s enthusiasm was just bubbling out during the drive!
You know u have a truly great car at hand when Doug remains quiet rather than chat away when driving the car....... Amazing video.... Thanks Doug for the wonderfully detailed video of this great Porsche
I just LOVE watching Doug have fun (And love even more that after driving EVERYTHING he has, he still just is elated to drive such a machine)
The Bee landing on the wing at 10:10 and perfectly matching the cars color scheme made me happy
Yeah I saw that too. perfect timing
8:22 makes the car more aerodynamic by letting out air trapped in the wheel arches-> reduced air pressure - > reduced air pressure gradient ->reduced drag coefficient & less lift (more down force at the front)
Nahh its not really about the drag. As Andreas Preuniger Head of GT Department said in a podcast they have to do it, because of the amount of downforce at the back of the Car when it comes to RS models. It is necesarry because otherwise the Balance of the Car would suck.
more downforce, grips corners better
Reminds me of the flying mercedes' at le mans
Less air pressure in the front wheel wells is going to help keep the front end planted.
Thanks for yet another fantastic review. I love to watch you smile every time you hit the downshift or the accelerator. Keep up the good work 🙂
Porsche saw Singer and realized that the collectible nature of min-maxxed cars is off the charts. E.g. what would happen if you put the best of everything available to Porsche on any given model? GT3RS engine/Trans/suspension/brakes on the 718 model. It's fabulous. It's like the 914-6. Those values are insane right now.
Doug in 2 years: "THIS is my new GT4 RS!"
Finally, a video where Doug actually goes through some gears haha
Doug double timing it at 02:14 left me with a huge smile
I’m a little surprised that so car companies are walking away from manuals in performance vehicles. I really think that car companies are underestimating how many people actually enjoy driving manuals. Especially in sport cars that are very visceral and well connected to the road.
Hey Doug, just FYI: the logo on the front hood is not only a decal for weight reasons, it's also because embedding it in the carbon fiber hood would increase cost and complicate manufacturing. It's not impossible, just cheaper that way. The put it on every carbon fiber front hood.
The weight-saving-claim is probably just a marketing thing and negligible.
he knows.
No it's cheap!
That's a really good point, hadn't thought about that.
Nice one
>saves weight with the badge
>adds weight with decals
I think this might be the best sounding car made, each 100 rpm’s comes with a new note
Lexus lfa. Ferrari 458.
@@grahamstefaan lamborghini aventador. pagani zonda
Lexus LFA : "Ummm...hold my beer!"
Should add a sentence on "for the money" or "affordably" and also easier to maintain or not known for maintenance nightmares.
I guess that's still leave lots of other cars like the Gallardo is pretty cheap now and sounds worse than this but still extremely good for the money, but has some big potholes in terms of ownership especially the auto trans units
Lexus LFA, Porsche Carrera GT....
Absolutely love this car! I've always been a GT3 RS fan but this is focus driven like Doug said. It's a better track version of a GT3 RS. Some will hate me for saying that but the Mid engine really makes a different with performance. Less chance of oversteer or the rear sliding out on you cause the weight is centralized between the axles. I've only just found this new version of the 718 GT4 RS recently and I love it every bit of it. Doug said it rides terribly when you're on street and it's true, but nobody buys a car like this for the "Comfort". They buy it for show pieces(which I'm not a fan of) or they buy it to fulfill its racing heart. Porsche always has my heart. ❤
When it comes to styling, this is def a 10/10 for me. Beautiful outside and the sound is just glorious.
Even the black wing struts?
Rear not aggressive enough
Looks like a pimped-up car from Need For Speed.
Probably considering all of the other cars he has driven, I think a 6 is appropriate from him. For the general population, a 7.5 is probably more accurate.
wing struts are disgusting though. Also no way Cayman is 10/10. What would be Carrera, Spyder or 911 GT3 then? (not even talking about older 911 models which are a lot nicer)
Porsche has mastered the “timeless look”
Absolutely perfect review. I love Caymans so much! They really are the pinnacle sports car to me.

I don’t know why but this is maybe my favorite Doug video. Such a cool car, great video
You could really tell how much you love this car when you were driving it. One of my favorite driving reviews just because of how excited you were.
That interior is so nice I would have to take my shoes off before getting in out of respect.
Cars are meant to be driven, not worshipped and groveled before.

Wonderful driver experience Dougie. Thumbs up as always.
I’m not even that big into cars but I love watching his videos because he’s so passionate about them. Top tier entertainment just to see him be so happy with what he does
A modern Cayman R would actually be an instant classic. Manual, 4.0, no/smaller wing, magnesium wheels, in some PTS colors👀
718 gts 4.0
It would also be around four hundred thousand USD after dealer markup, and thats being conservative. Its the type of thing Porsche said they want to avoid.
@@the911collection well said
@@the911collection I’ve had mine for a year in the UK and after 6k miles it does more than I need for daily driving.
@@atramentar1883 You guys have to remember that there are other markets than the US and UK market. That insane ADM thing is not really being used anywhere else. My GT4RS comes in July, and I paid MSRP.
I've driven a lot of Porsches, and own 2. The 2 in my garage have the engine in the middle for a reason. Regardless of transmission this car will go down in Porsche history as one of the greats. Especially considering the mid-engined platform is slated to go EV.
Three reasons it won't. It's an ugly Autozone special. No manual. Engine overwhelms the chassis at pace, period. GT3 far superior.

Man you do some of the best reviews! Much appreciated!
Never heard Doug appreciate a car this much ...💯💯
Always wanted the cayman chassis with a gt3 engine , what a car
I agree with just about everything you’ve said, I have a 2009 Cayman S that is a complete track car, stripped out interior coil over suspension yada yada yada. I was dying to get my hands on a GT four with a PDK, and was looking forward to this car as well. When I saw that they were basically going to be unobtainable for at least a couple of years, I went and bought a 2019 GT3RS. It’s quite a special car, I don’t regret my choice. And I still have my Cayman. The wife and I both track our cars, and we do about 50 to 60 track days a year.
What do you do for a living man?

You're lying
@@michelleobamasthicccocc822 He’s not lying look at his channel.
@@michelleobamasthicccocc822 what the heck man you don’t know me. I’m not bragging I’m just trying to see what’s up. In my garage right now is a 2019 GT3RS, I’m taking it to the track next Sunday as well. My wife is a business owner and I work for a large company we do very well.
love to Doug ripping around in this car. man what a cool car this is, sounds amazing and the shifts....omg
I agree 100%! Six speed manual on RS models will make sales skyrocket! I love hearing about all the corks and features of the RS, but the fact that it does not come in an optional manual configuration, makes me lean towards the regular GT4
My grandparents were behind you when you took it for a drive! they said they saw a guy moving his hands like crazy in a fast yellow sports car! If I could aford a car close to this I would!
Edit. They now know who ya are and love your reviews!
This description of Doug is on fleek👌😂
It is not very often when you see Doug so focused on driving that he doesn't talk much. He thoroughly enjoyed this ride and so did I. His expression said everything. I loved the sound and feel just by looking this on YT. Lucky are the people who get to experience this.
This car got so much style and cool details, can't wait to see guys incorporating them on their lower versions of Caymans.
Excellent review and seeing the joy and excitement was amazing - wish I could swing the cost as that is an awesome ride
I love the classic Porsche design sooooo much and this is definitely the most beautiful to date. I’d say this is peak Porsche
One "quirk" of the PDK: if you're cruising around and want to accelerate quickly, floor it and then press a little harder. There is a notch after what you think would be the bottom of the pedal. It instantly drops you into the lowest gear you can be in. Seems like not a lot of people know this.
That's some amazing creative engineering. Hahaha that's so cool it's exciting
VW GTI had this as well as my S4's. Is this the true function of this?
Yeah, its called kick down, Mercedes had it on his automatic models since the first ML suv in1998 🤣🤣
I always trust Doug's reviews! He is worth ringing the bell!
Fantastic! The car! The video! The sound! The reaction! The CAR!!! BRAVO
I could watch Doug just drive this for 20 mins straight with those reactions and that sound, lol.
I am guessing that when Doug says “he has friends that want to buy this car” he means “he wants to buy this car”.
Did everyone notice Doug's eyes at the 28:30 min mark? It was right after the Charger pulls up behind him he quickly glances down to the speedometer. And then did the side eye as it passed him.
Hahaha! If I had a dollar everytime I've done that....
Awesome video, Doug
This is Doug having more fun than usual (at least shown) lol Smash that gas! 😎
This is seriously one of the only modern cars that I would consider to be a dream car. It's absolutely perfect!
If only it didn’t cost so much ! Lol
@@Tharvey9421 right! At 140k I could kind of start to justify it. But I know with mark-ups I could never afford it.
You had me on board until I heard automatic only. Waste of space at that point.
@@jaredchampagne2752 I hear that. A manual would definitely be better.
@@jaredchampagne2752 PDK is probably the best dual-clutch transmission in the world.
Gotta love Porsche, they actually understand people like us!
Yea automatic only...they totally understand. SMFH. Waste of space.
@@jaredchampagne2752 well for a car designed to break records it makes perfect sense. They still offer manuals in their enthusiast centered models.
@@jaredchampagne2752 Because it’s an RS model…
@@JDub33333 breaking records?? it's still slower than the 992 GT3
Once you see that smile on the top of the front bumper, you can't unsee it! This is the happiest car I've ever seen!
Loving the colour combo, great video
Doug!!! Please bring the old format for the Doug's score! It makes it interesting to hear your perspective on the criteria. And it keeps the anticipation to see where you'd list it and how many points it'll get rather than getting the list straight away! 😊
I came here to post this exact thing.
According to Doug on Twitter:
"Adds 1 minute to each video that I can't spend on quirks/features, which is what people want to see. Plus tons of me saying "Like all cars in this class, it gets a 5 out of 10 for practicality." Doesn't add much, but current format lets me give a good, concise, overall summary."
@@bonzobonanza That sucks. I've only started losing interest and leave the video at the end after this format. He used to do it for "More Doug Demuro" and it's understandable cause he'd review some "side" cars. But it's annoying to see it here on some major vehicles.
This looks insanely good and sounds insanely good, from what I've heard Porsche's GT lineup have incredible chassis and they are really great cars to drive.
Great video Doug! I need one of these in my driveway!
The bee landing on wing when detailing the GT4RS logo on the wing was a nice touch. The yellow and black game recognizes game.
Love your reviews!! I’m a huge huge fan of the Cayman having owned 3 myself including a GTS.
Best car I’ve ever owned hands down…..I can not imagine what a Cayman with 500 hp must feel like 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Honestly I think the door handle fabric loop looks cool, nice contrast to door and matching the seatbelt :)
Honestly, when you start a sentence with "Honestly", it makes it sounds like you are telling the truth for the first time.
@@robertnewhart3547 k
Every time a performance car of this caliber is released, I love hearing how even the rear brakes are larger than my miata's wheels. Incredible
What year Miata you got?
Best review you've done in a while. Man, the engine!
Since we're on naturally aspirated "screamers". I emailed you a year ago offering to let you review my 2014 Audi Rs5.
Don't blame you not wanting to go to NC..lol.
But of all the cars you've reviewed, you really need to do a v8 Rs5. Not the run-of-the-mill Turbo6 that are in the new ones. But the naturally aspirated 4.2 V8 of the 2013-2015 model. 8250rpm redline in a cross-plane v8....unreal. You would love that engine.
GREAT !!! Really a very very very good and informative review, thank you
Doug, your car reviews are hands down the best 👍 Been watching for years, and as an absolute car enthusiast really like you showing real details
Since 2 years Doug's like "screw Dougcember, i'm going to drop the bombs all over the year".
I mean Koenigsegg Regera, Bugatti EB110, Ferrari SF90, Ferrari Monza, that black cubic vehicle thing, McLaren Elva (coming up soon) and some others. Need i say more? It's only logical to do so if he wants to survive in this car review industry.
He became like a kid that couldn't wait to tell you what cars it has seen 😀
The weissach package is a must for the sound that the carbon airbox creates which sounds amazing inside.
Thank you for driving for so long that do be my favorite part
Doug I loved your enthusiasm during this video!
You can tell you're not just an automotive journalist but one who actually appreciates such an awesome vehicle.
I have a base Cayman and could only imagine myself reacting the same way as you if I had the opportunity to drive this car.
Keep up the great content!
Thanks for that experience, Doug. The tune of that engine roar had my heart beating out of my chest!
Great video Doug. FYI, noticed your suction cup camera mount. If you want to capture the best footage angle I use the RoadSpy RS1 on my Cayman. Way way better than those suction cups.
Amazing car. Serious power and the soundtrack is great.
FINALLY!!! A NEW RS SERIES
Yes, relieving wheel arch air pressure is extremely important to performance, Doug. That's why almost all modern race cars have fender vents like that
I like what you have done with the background ! Really on the level with the Porsche. Cleaning the car would also be important. Not sure what Porsche thinks about that !
that suspension is hard, I could feel those bumps whilst sitting in my recliner while you were driving!
The joy in you face while driving and the sound of that engine is just what my day needed!
Of all the recent reviews of this car, all in plain-jane silver, only Doug got a yellow one 💛, because he's Doug Demuro. 😁👌
Just bought a Porsche 981 off of Cars and Bids! Thanks Doug for making the process easy!
Your enthusiasm and excitement says it all! Thanks for the update video Doug! What an amazing sounding car!!
"I can't look for cops"
I've never related more to Doug.
I went to my local Porsche dealer and drove a 911, always wanted one. Took in for a drive and left a deposit. I thought about it over the weekend and wasn’t all that impressed. Went back in Monday and asked about taking the Boxster S out, Wow, I was impressed. Made the deal and drove it off the lot. The best secret, don’t tell anyone else.
Felicitaciones lucas! A por más!
Vs the standard GT4, it Gained 2 points on acceleration and cool factor but lost a point on fun factor, qualify and comfort. Beating the GT4 by 1 point in total score but price tag doubled. Doug just destroyed the new GT4RS 😂
Not really. At those price and dougscore levels, every additional point costs a lot more.
In general, for $100k you can get anything you want. Every dollar you spend above has diminishing return.
Even worse above 400k, where limited supercars and hypercars are. With those, you are paying for the privilege to show off the fact that you paid more. You don’t get objective advantage for your additional dollars spent there.
@@juzoli 1000-1500hp would like a word with you
If you think about it, the closer you get to a race car - think series like GT cars from Porsche, GT-R cars from Mercedes - you inevitably lose most of the car's everyday functionality. The comfort goes down, the quality of materials is lower to save weight, but what you gain is a car that drives significantly better, accelerates more agressively. It's a trade-off. As Doug said, this car is for the people who want track-focused car 95% of the time. Everyone else is much better off aiming for a lower-tier Cayman, which is slower, but has all the quality of life equipment and characteristics.
GT4 RS is for people who are embarrassed driving a Cayman and need it to be "cooler" than a 911
@@T4xEvader Explain how would you use that 1500HP.
From the drivers perspective, that really might be one of the best sounding cars ever, the noise inside the cabin is incredible
I’ve been in a normal gt4 and the sound in the cabin was insane can’t imagine what this sounds like
Wow, that sound! Amazing.
Good for you that you're able to quickly access the best cars.
Good review as always. The GT4 RS is a very nice car, but I am not sure I am feeling the potential $250+k price tag for this car would be considered a good value. Particularly when you have several cars with similar or better performance characteristics (ie., GTR, ZO6) with less expensive price tags. I get the current market and its associated markups, but even still $250K for a Cayman, you'd lose money in that investment. Those who would buy this car over $200k, are lovers of Porsche more than lovers of performance.
The GT4 cayman is the best "value" performance porsche at ~110-120k after options. It can go between track and street with no worries, you could daily drive it I guess, if you don't have a family. You could option it out for a really comfy interior, or go bare bones and make it a track monster. If you're looking at a car as an investment you're removing joy from the equation. Get on some wait lists, take factory/dealer reps out to crazy parties and buy and sell Lambos and Ferraris, I guess. This car is a step above the GT4 for someone who wants a dedicated track car and for whom the increase in price has no meaning.
PPF would have to be mandatory on those fenders and other areas rocks get slung from the front tires. Hanging my left arm out of the window of my RX-7 leaves my arm stinging from tiny rocks, I can't imagine how mangled someone's arm would look hanging out of the window of one of these 😅
10:09 the bee flying on the wing was funny to me idk why
No mention of the smiley face design on the hood?!
It was an appropriate image given your obvious excitement for a cool car. Great vid!
:)
Doug always has soft spot for Porsche cars. And it shows. I love his emotions. Great review. Thanks a lot, Doug!!!
I don't get the hype about Porsche until I driven one... there's no comparison, and now I daily drive one.
@@TheGardenMG same for me with Miata. I don’t get the hype for these 4 cylinder cars that have less then 200hp. I do get the hype with muscle cars like Mustang because they have V8 engines for less then $40k new or like less then $20k on the used
