Glad you liked it… I don’t get the huge view counts the other channels get, but I’m not doing this for the views… it’s a passion and a hobby and even if a few people like the content I’m happy 😁

Well done Max....I agree the GT4 RS is probably the best sports car ever for any type of practical car ownership. Yes, we have the extreme hyper cars in existence, but for most people, this car is everything one could ever want on 4 wheels. Even in direct comparison to some of the hyper cars, I cannot imagine that any performance gain of the pure exotics would practically matter to anyone.

This is such an awesome video. I received an allocation for a GT4 RS with no markup, which is amazing here in the USA. I am trading in my GTS 4.0, which I love dearly. I have a Macan for a daily, and this will be my fun weekend car and track car. But I do live in an urban area and like running around town in my GTS occasionally. Your review of the compliance of the ride is reassuring. Great video!

WOW!! You got a GT4RS without a dealer markup in the USA? JUMP ON IT if you can afford it without too many consequences financially. I know I would. Depends on your exact use case, and I’m pleased you haven’t mentioned so far you will be taking the car on track. It is an awesome car, though some hard core track people say the front-end steering and suspension cannot handle the power as well as a GT3. This doesn’t bother me in the slightest. I can proudly say I never come near to using 80% of the handling potential of the car. When I made this video the GT4RS impressed me on a more emotional level and I love the engineering that’s gone into that car, and the engine. The only downside you should be aware of depending on how good your hearing is, if you’re going on a 1,000 mile motorway trip the noise inside the cabin from the engine can get a bit much. This is not from personal experience but from multiple actual owners. That is the only downside to openly be aware of. Other than that, make sure you specify the front axle lift, and damn good times are in store for you ahead.

@@MAXREVS Thanks for the reply! I will be taking this to the track, for sure. I like track driving, but it is for my enjoyment, and I do not compete with anyone other than myself. I will probably get in around 6-8 track days per year, do some autoX, and then use this car to tear up the backroads. My one small concern is that I optioned PCCBm, which is supposed to be awesome. Some say the rotors wear quickly on the track, but others say they are pretty durable and a lot of people are basing their views off of old PCCB data. And I found that if/when they need to be swapped out, I can go to the Surface Transform option, which is about half the cost and should last forever. I plan on keeping this car until I can't get in and out of it anymore. Appreciate your awesome review!

Max I enjoy your channel and your enthusiasm for the brand. I had a Cayman S which was fun and then a GT3RS (997) which made the Cayman feel like driving a marshmallow. I then bought a 981 GT4 which I have had for 7 years and it has been utterly brilliant, but it lacks real punch. Thus I am looking forward to an Arctic Grey GT4RS which is on a ship coming to my country. Interested to hear your comments about the exhaust and I agree. Interested what you say about the PDK, because even as a manual fan I think I will agree that the shifts will be so good (the PDK comes from the GT3RS 991). You have done a great job capturing the interior sound accurately. Great review.

The GT4 RS is best among the Caymans and better than most 911s out there, this is right at the door steps of the GT3 with a 10 bhp deficit but compensates with the midship engine and perhaps a slight lighter weight. What a cracking engine…..a sports car most provoke emotions and the GT4 sums it up with precision. Thanks Max

Greatly appreciate this video. Great to get your take that the ride is not too rough as Doug Demuro reported. I trusat you as a Caynan owner and expert. So the GT4RS you drove had the aluminum wheels with PCCB. Do you think the steering feel or turn in feel or acceleration will feel any better by also having the magnesium wheels (10 kg savings overall)?
@MAXREVS
2 жыл бұрын
Hi there. I will obviously have to give you my best efforts guess on the answer… not having driven the car with magnesium wheels. Honestly, for road usage, and the time I had with the car, I don’t think I would be capable of noticing any difference between the standard and magnesium wheels. Maybe if I was on track, with sharp bends, constantly turning one way and the other, you could detect a difference. I suspect it would have to be with very large steering inputs (i.e. sharp corners) to pick up on the difference. As the steering is now electrically assisted and no longer hydraulic like in the 987s, I am guessing the magnesium wheels would probably have a more noticeable impact on a car with hydraulic steering? Furthermore I didn’t really get to use the car to pick up on the GT4 RS front suspension setup versus a regular GT4. One line summary of the GT4 RS… like going to a live concert in your favourite stadium, your favourite artist, the best live audio sound system… versus listening to compressed MP3 audio on $10 in ear headphones! In my case, Kraftwerk performing Live in the Royal Albert Hall in London!!

😁 My ears are just fine👍🏼 I’ve heard some people say you would not want to drive long distances in the GT4 RS. The noise would kill you. I couldn’t disagree more. It’s all about how you use your right foot. With moderate throttle inputs there are no intense decibel levels which could fatigue you, however the moment you stab the throttle the Jekyll and Hyde characteristics of this car show. One moment a daily cruiser the next moment a beast.

Hi max great content on the car. I would like to ask on suspension most reviews are saying the car is too stiff for road riding then watching your review says no problem as daily or its very much livable i wonder what is the problem? 2nd is the car smooth on slow speeds like regular pace? I mean the gearing on throttle not jerky or some sort that will not be ok with normal pace? 1 more thing if placed in regular automatic mode do we need to rev high in order to change gear or it can work like normal auto car?
@MAXREVS

This is a very subjective answer, based on the specific roads the test drive is done on. Then there is also the country of the review, e.g. France / Germany / Europe tends to have far better maintained road surfaces than the UK. UK road surfaces at the moment are shocking without the funding to fix them. So depending on where the review was done, this could explain mixed reviews. Thankfully for my review it was summer and the roads were adequate during my test drive. Not perfect, not shocking, just average UK road surfaces. Since the review after the winter of 2022 the roads in the UK now are generally shocking, and not being maintained / fixed. You don’t want to buy any performance car, throw it into corners and expect to find body roll. There is a reason the suspension is stiff and firm. If someone wants a more comfortable ride buy a GTS. My best advice for a 718 GT4 RS owner?! Replace the Cup2s with PS4S for UK roads and that would be excellent. I recently switched from Cup2s to PS4S on my 981 GT4 and it has really taken off the harshness which I could get on some uneven road surfaces in the UK. Gearbox is fine, I wouldn’t worry about it, it’s not new for the GT4RS. I guess there are always some people who find something to criticise. Nothing in life is perfect, and if you think the 718 GT4 RS (the best Cayman on this planet) is letting the side down in some areas… well, I just don’t know what to say. I know you are not the one finding fault in the car… it’s other professional KZitemrs who have to find some angle on their reviews to make them stand-out. Anyhow we are all entitled to our opinions… so if someone says the suspension is too hard, so be it. It’s a performance sports after all, if they made it super compliant it would bounce in the corners. Porsche cannot build their cars to take into account every road surface in every country.

@MAXREVS

I ❤️ the PDK GT4 RS. Even if it was available in manual I would opt for PDK. My explanation… the GT4 RS is so eventful I want to experience the whole rev range with my right foot. I want to be able to hit the red line with a subsequent gear change in a seamless manner. With a manual gearbox I challenge anyone to hit the red line and then change up a gear as quickly and smoothly as a PDK. I want to play the engine and exhaust like a violin. The paddles are my tools for interacting with the instrument. Either of the standard GT4s are so quiet in comparison to the RS, you could argue the manual is the better choice to connect with the car. With the RS my connection is to the audio track of the car and not the transmission of the car. Given the beautiful audio PDK allows me to exploit it best. Hope this answers your question!
