I still think the base 992.1 911 is much better car overall. The 718 GTS4.0 does handle better, has more grip, and quicker in transferring it's motion from side to side, but that is about it ad those advantages really only come to play near the limit. The base 992.1 911 is much more refined, nicer inside, larger inside, has better power delivery. As a daily driver or cross country cruiser it is so much better. I feel the 718 GTS4.0 is quite under powered, especially for the chassis it has. Power is rather anemic below 5,000rpm, and you really only get it really going around 7000rpm. I do prefer the lightly turboed 3.0 flat 6 on the base 992 911 over the NA 4.0L flat 6, the power is just so much more useful and really I really like the sound of the base 992 engine (but maybe not quite as much as the 718 GTS 4.0 but it is not wildly different like most claim). Yes it is a go cart compared to the 911, but the 911 still handles incredibly well. The 718 GTS4.0 is on another level and is the best handling car I have ever driven. At the end of the day though I would much rather have a base 992 911 than the 718 GTS4.0.

Manual is at it's best in a naturally aspirated 4.0 with a narrow peak power band like the GTS 4.0. You're always shifting to keep the revs where they want to be and the car feels like it really needs you, especially on track. With modern turbo engines that make power from so low down in the rev range, it just isn't the same. Take the current 911 Carrera, peak torque from 2000rpm, every gear feels the same, it's like the car is patronising you, "yeah, sure, you can shift if you like, I'll just be doing my thing." You feel almost in the way of the engine, rather than engaged by it. The PDK suits that car so much better - the exact opposite of the Boxster/Cayman. It's easy to say every sports car needs a manual, but not all manuals are created equal.

Great video, especially with the extra challenge of rain. After owning over 20 BMWs, I’m *so* glad I could get an allocation for a GTS 4.0. This is the last new car I’ll likely be able to buy with a manual, and the clutch and shifter feel make every drive an event. When everything has gone EV in the next few years, including the Cayman/Boxster and the other side of my garage, I’ll still be able to enjoy a naturally aspirated 3-pedal experience. This one’s a keeper.

What an awesome spec. Relative of mine has a 24’ Cayman S - great car

Well, I think I know which car I am driving at PEC now. I had already been looking at this one, but you have sealed the deal. The sound and the overall size and shape of this car seem like they'd be fun to experience on track.

I have the 4 cyl GTS and it’s amazing. What a rocket ship. I love the punch of the turbos over the NA engines personally. The 6cyl does sound better, but the 4cyl isn’t bad at all. Everything is relative. Neither sound as good as my GT350… but the car is basically a gokart on the road. Tons of fun !

Glad you got to enjoy some of Alabama's roads. Shame it was in the wet though. Hope you liked them!

Fantastic car, and review! I had to choose between this (manual) and M3 Touring - ended up with the M3 but the GTS is just so pure

Maaaaan, just picked up my Boxster with this motor/trans combo two weeks ago after a year-long wait. It’s a damn delight, I totally love it and it’s actually only foretaste since I’m breaking it in and trying not to go above 4k rpm, so the best is still ahead of me.

amazing car. amazing visuals.😃🙂

oh i like the silver trim, lines up with the silver on the wheel and not overwhelmingly with too much carbon

Best car in the universe. Best interior. Best sound. Best form.

I had one, in manual. In hindsight PDK would have been better as then you can use it as a daily, GT and sportscar, and it does all of them equally well. Amazing car.

this has nothing to do with the car but it's cool how it was raining in this video and you were in alabama and i'm watching from georgia (presumably the next day) in the rain 😭

Hey quick question. What’s the difference between the sports mode and the sports plus mode?? I have a 911 4s cabriolet but never used it.😅

More Porsche content please

If yall get one of these, definitely go for the soul performance opf delete. Helps bring that sound to life. Love the silver wheels on this though. I am constantly paranoid I am gonna scratch the black ones on my gts4.0. I asked myself one question before I decided to buy the car: When is the next time I am going to be able to get a NA porsche for under a 100k? From there I was locked in. So many NA porsches are unobtainable nowadays.

Intake noise goes crazy 👀

I wonder how it feels like at idle and low speeds 😅 heard those 4.0L shake like crazy when not being pushed?

Didn't have the exhaust note I was looking for, I decided to go for a similar car. I got a 2002 avalon XLS.

Great video 🤓!!! Last year in February 2023, I acquired my new 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 which has the 4L NA flat six cylinder engine (same unit as a GT4) and a PDK gearbox. Power output (394 bhp) and torque (317 lb-ft) are a nice match to this car's sensible curb weight (~3200 lbs). The color is Gentian Blue metallic with a black/chalk all-leather interior and silver wheel rims. It's definitely an entertaining driver's car! So far, I've only done 452 miles but hopefully a lot more this coming Summer! The PDK is also a lot of fun (it's definitely quick) 🤓 All the best and thanks again from Colorado!

The less expensive S model is about $112 and the base is about $100 as optioned at my dealer. This GTS CAYMAN would probably be closer to about $140, with typical options, dealership inflated pricing. It’s a fabulous car just way too much money for the GTS. But if you have the extra money for a luxury sports car this is definitely the one to buy. (Check out the used market. New is sadly very expensive).

Would love to have one but it's so expensive, and they won't make it anymore by the time I can afford one, so I won't be able to spec it the way I want 😬
