Porsche 718 Cayman GTS: Track and Road Review
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
In this film. I get the chance to drive the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS. I'm sure some or most of you know, this car now has a flat 4 turbocharged engine which has dampenned most peoples thoughts. So I want investigate whether some of that lovely magic is still intact.
Enjoy.

Sid, great film, definitely one of the best ones yet.. the 718 GTS is an incredible car, amazing chassis, handling and this new engine delivers SO much power at any rev range, its SO quick people dont realise, and its finally enough power to push the chassis.... great stuff Sid, and amazing car the 718 GTS is

Drove a GTS yesterday. What a machine. So sharp
Literally a pleasant reminder of Chris Harris on Cars. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Sid, your delivery almost matches that of Chris. It's fantastic, the cinematography is on point and the delivery, as said, fantastic.

Own a 18 718 Cgts, stage 3 tune gives me over 500 horses to the rear, fuk me if that aint the best performing Porsche dollar for dollar they’ve ever built. So tunable, so fast and so daily usable. 🌶️🔥
I can’t get past the amount of times you change gear within a second of the previous change 😂
Great Vid, just ordered a 718 Cayman S 2 weeks ago, delivery in September, and this makes me happy that I made the right choice. Now just the long wait.....
Your videos have just gone up a notch with this one Sid, keep it up, great stuff!

I own a 2018 Boxster GTS and use it as my daily driver. It's a lot of fun for the price.
This film was simply amazing, more of this please! Sid you really delivered big time here keep it up!
Great professional delivery and video work. Keep it up!
Sid. Brilliant vid. Your channel and presentation have certainly matured. Lookin' good :)
I own a 2019 Cayman GTS, and it is truly an amazing car. I have it as my daily driver and could be more pleased. Great video. If anyone reading this is contemplating a 718 versus 911, definitely test-drive one of these

If you still have the GTS, how do you like it and how many miles do you have on the odometer now? Would you still the same that you enjoy it like you did when you posted the comment 4 years ago?

Sid... Another fantastic review! As always the cinematic from Thomas is on point! I always see an improvement from a video to another. Really great content from one of the best motoring channel in the world for me... For the way you use to describe and drive the cars! Hat off to you Mate!
Thanks for showing the Porsche experience track, just yesterday booked up to have instruction there in my own car and in the 718 cayman.
Really impressive video Sid! Great visuals, audio track and your delivery is spot on. I know it must be a huge amount of work to put this together, but the quality shines through. keep it up!

Awesome film! I got a 718 Cayman a year and a bit ago and have loved every moment - sound track is literally the only down point. New exhaust? 🤔

Your presenting skills are getting better and better Sid, keep at it, the new Chris Harris in the making
Big step up in production, really good stuff
Great stuff. You earned another subscriber!
Excellent review!!!....on a fantastic car!! BTW, beautiful watch!!.....Omega Seamaster Professional, it looks like??
I had a 2015 981 Boxster GTS..........I now have a 2018 718 Boxster GTS.......yes the sound is better on 981 but in my opinion it is not a better car. The 718 looks better, has apple car play and is noticeably faster! The 4 cylinder does sound different but I enjoy the sound of the turbos and a few crackle and pops! It's very raspy and cool! I absolutely love my 718 GTS
Sideways Sid doing what he does best... Going sideways!
You remind me of Steve Sutcliffe in a way with a mix of Jethro and Chris Harris
Stupendous videography and presentation by Sid.

Cracking car, cracking bloke = cracking review! Keep them coming buddy, be cool to meet up at Goodwood FoS this year if your about. 😎✌️
You should do a review on the 2019 mazda miata mx5 and compere it with the cayman they are the best purest afordable car that the money can buy .
Another absolutely greatly made video👌👌
How you only have 30k subscribers is beyond me! Best content by far 🤙
Dude you sound just like Chris Harris! 👍 like literally I thought it was Chris talking before you stepped on camera lol.
See ya on top gear in a few years 🚗💨
What’s the difference between the cayman gts n the cayman gt4
No words. Fantastic video.
I like the engine note but if you cannot live with it by sports exhaust from Tubi Style or similar:)
Just doesn’t sounds like any modern production 4 pot and that’s something you have to love and allows you to respect it as a full sports car and not a hot hatch sounding TTS

It sounds like a Subaru cause it's a flat 4. It does not sound like hot hatch cause those are in line 4s. IMO the in lines sound a lot better than this fart bag.

I wish people would quit bitching about the sound. It is different from the flat 6, of course, and that engine's howl IS beautiful to hear. But.... I don't think the 4 cyl sounds bad at all! Just different! And the torque from 2000 rpm is much stronger than my 981 had. The car is now faster, and I would say overall better.
Amazing review mate.
And if you tune this bad boy you can get close to 400whp/torque without too many other mods.
Seriously underrated channel. Future Top Gear presenter for sure

Why does EVERYONE say that it's like getting an S with all the performance toys at a discounted price?. It is not. It is cheaper ONLY if you would have bought the different front and rear fascias (i.e. the Sport Design Package). Here's a completely configured S with all the toys: www.porsche-code.com/PKRDLYQ2 Here's a GTS with the same configurastion: www.porsche-code.com/PK67DSE1 The differences between them are the GTS has black painted wheels (which I don't like as much), has the sport design package and has black tail pipes. Plus 15HP, obviously. The S is $98,410. The GTS is $101,420. Now, if you add the items mentioned to the S the price goes up to about $103,750 and it IS cheaper. But by far the biggest contributor is the facias and they are aesthetic changes that I don't actually favor rather than performance ones.
The next Chris Harris! Keep these videos coming!

It’s a good car but I find it way too expensive, especially after you add all the options you want. For the money, you could get a 981 GT4, a 991.1 Carrera S or a BMW M4 Competition…

Out of those, only the 981 GT4 is a real competitor. A 991.1 will feel dreadfully sluggish and inert compared to the 718 (I've driven both back to back). M4 Competition is a BMW so nty

Changed from BMW M4 CP to a Cayman 718 GTS. I loved the M4 but the Cayman GTS is a superior car, more of an event, sharper steering, PDK beats DCT, perfect balance and the engine may be a 4 cylinder, but it’s the best 4 cylinder engine on the planet and behaves like an NA engine, very responsive and powerful. Could no he happier.

Hmm, at around 8:10, you said the car finally gets the motor it deserves. I think you probably meant to say it finally gets the power it deserves. One could just buy a 981 S and add a tune and some headers. That gets you the same HP (not sure about torque).
First 4 pot since the 912 Maybe in years to come will be lushed after.
Is it pronounced Pornsche?

Anyone who buys the old 981 GT4, 981 S, or even the 981 Cayman base model, over the 718, needs their head examining
Porsche gave us the power but took away 2 of the pots. Bad idea Porsche. And man made CO2 climate change is fake news so bring it back with the flat-6 please. Nice review thanks.

How did Audi manage to make their 2.5 litre engine sound so epic and Porsche made this sound like an asthmatic Golf GTI? They should have done a 5 pot, perhaps. I'm literally the target market for this and can finally afford one but won't be buying it, getting am M2 comp instead. Way to kill off a brand, Porsche!

A 5 pot boxer engine. Please tell us how are you planning to build that ? 🤷♂️🤷♂️ you may be in the market for an expensive car, but certainly don’t know a lot about Porsche or car engineering. But hey, we’re a year further now.. now you can order the new gts with 4.0 flat six. ;-)
