2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 vs 718 Spyder // When Numbers Don't Matter

This is the new 2020 718 Cayman GT4 and its joined by its slightly cheaper convertible twin, the 2020 Porsche Boxster Spyder. Both are a dream enthusiast formula. They are the Cayman and Boxster in their ultimate forms (until perhaps a GT4RS arrives), and what better way to test them than to hit some of our favourite back roads? Specced today at $148,000 CAD (GT4) and $129,000 CAD (Boxster Spyder), they command a hefty premium, so are they worth it? James and Thomas jump behind the wheel of both to experience them and discuss them inside and out. Watch and enjoy!

James: "But obviously the biggest difference is the roof."
Thomas: "Oh I didn't notice."
I DIED

This this that makes this channel special. The fact that you guys don't just talk about figures and numbers. You two really know what it means to drive and experience a car, and know what's important at the end of the day, how the car makes you feel. I've always wanted these cars, but you're right, if you can't enjoy it, what's the point? Maybe it's time i take down my Porsche posters and pin up an MX-5.

Also that would be the ideal accident conversation bey😂😂😂

[tephenmb]

I, too, hit Porsche owners so I can talk to them about the one time I drove a 944...

Thomas : "It’s not the dress, it’s how it drapes on the body"
James: "you need to change your wardrobe mate!"

I’m mostly here for your intros




And also your reviews...love them

[BigfootsWeWe]

I love the Carrera GT aesthetics of the Spyder

[Sovereign]

*Whispers* “She’s dumb tho” 😂😂😂

Update: He is now single.

[jonathanrichmond]

These intros are amazing, please never change

[nateisright]

When we look back in ten years, we will realize that these were the high watermark of interior design. Buttons for common functions, no buttons on the wheel. Brilliant!

I dont recall the camera ever once showing the most distinctive unique feature of the 718 Spyder-- the raised tunnels featured on the rear deck. My favorite part of the entire car. Surprised that would be overlooked.

[Cars-and-Things]

Great video guys. I have the Spyder and I absolutely love it. My first drive in it was a 4.5 hour trip home. I have got the carbon bucket seats. After the first hour I thought blimey my back is sore but strangely after another hour or so the pain went away. I arrived home after an epic trip across country feeling wonderful. After two Lotus Elises I find the roof easy to put up or down. Unless it’s raining the roof stays down for even more enjoyment. This is truly a great car.

I discovered this channel in quarantine, and I must say, you guys are amazing, the production quality and the effort and time that goes into these. You guys are really really entertaining. Much love!

[sachamo]

Why am I building a new home when I could be driving one of these?

[ThatGenericCanadian]

The GT4 is my dream vehicle. It just seems like the perfect middle ground of a sports car without being too brutal

[todorplavic]

You know you're a Fan of Throttle House when Thomas says I'm Thomas and you automatically say I'm James

[driver_]

Analogue gauges... PERFECT.

Most sensible, perfect sized Porsche in the market.

happiness is beyond 7000 RPM
- c8 corvette has left the chat

[glowingeddy]

Having owned a cayman 987 I feel like the points mentioned in this review are spot on. I've loved the car but to really have fun in one of them you have to drive at speeds not legal in most countries.
This is also the reason I went back to a miata..
