The 2021 Porsche Cayman GT4 Still Needs One Mod to Be Perfect - One Take

The 2021 Porsche Cayman GT4 may just be facelifted for 2020, but it's what's underneath that counts: a new 4.0L, naturally aspirated engine shared with the Boxster Spyder making 414 hp at 7600 RPM, a front axle shared with the GT3, the perfect six-speed shifter, and full on Porsche motorsport theater that's practical enough to use every day (with the right tires). In the land of Porsche, where price tags get way out of hand quickly, the GT4, at around $110,000, is a spectacular value.

Porsche provided the vehicle, insurance, and a tank of fuel for this review.

Can we just applaud Porsche for doing their own thing, while continuing to make some of the best cars in the world? I mean what other company makes 2 4.0L engines, that are completely different than one another? Just let that sink in.

This car is the ideal mid engine sports car. Some day I will pick one up on the used market.

I kinda like the idea of revving the hell out of a sports car, reminds me of my S2000. Makes you really work for it.

[pduffyusa]

Bravo on your comments regarding the limits of the car.

[JAYREAD]

They always say with YouTube: either entertain or educate. You’ve done both here, Matt. Your experience is pouring out of you. Great stuff. Thanks for making this.

I now have about 8000km on mine since December. Almost all of them in the Swiss Alps or Black Forest. Perfect size for those roads. And I can't say that the gearing has caused any issues. Even with shorter 2nd and 3rd gears you'd be only using those given the speed limits. It's not going to change the amount of shifts that much. The stock gearing is well spaced and also suited for motorway driving and road trips.

I mean it's one of the last of sports cars that's N/A and has manual gearbox, on top of that it's mid engined and from Porsche. It's well worth that price.

[dalefredriks]

Got myself a Manual shirt, a Manual socks and Manual stickers. Absolutely gonna support that company and you, especially because it's attached to this wonder of a video. GT4 is absolute dream car status

Since the Lotus Exige is not available in the US, this is the most fun sports car you can buy

I was lucky enough to drive this car years ago when they first came out at a Porsche experience event in ATL. I owned a 8th gen civic si with a fully built bored out motor. This car felt like a grown up version of my car. I am a grown up now. I will own this car one day. Mark my words inner self.

[carloscaro]

I love how you told us what speed the gear maxes out on sooo when u hit 4th on a straight ima like 👀👀

Simplest way to explain the difference between a GT4 and a GT3 engine
718 GT4 : a 4.0 liter NA conversion of the 911 Carrera's 3.0 liter Turbo
911 GT3 : a road-legal conversion of the racing 911 RSR engine

[drdoom]

I’m thinking this is the ultimate daily! I use to be the guy that wants high hp vehicles but the Porsche do it with half the hp pretty amazing🏁🏁

[blitzy]

I strive to become "Porsche People" one day
...

[ryanpatterson]

The new 911 is just too big. The Cayman is the enthusiast's sports car

[mopsnuf]

I love being able to gauge how obscenely fast Matt is driving just this one video, from the gearing discussion. Like ohh yeah there's third revved out again.. :D

[vivid_racing]

Such an elegant machine to be driving! The manual gearbox, the scream, and just the overall performance makes this such a phenomenal vehicle.
