When are they going to stop rating sports cars on cup holders, storage and stereos? Stop rating Porsches like you do a Dodge Caravan. And stop calling Porsches feminine. Why does a car have to look like the Batmobile to be tough?
I've worked my ASS off to finally get to this point where I can actually afford to purchase & own a Porsche. I've always wanted a 911 but the Cayman has won me over with its stunningly beautiful good looks mixed with it's incredible power & handling. Can't wait to have the right Cayman S parked in my garage!
+kawika dav The is one major difference, which they failed to highlight. The Porsche was designed to perform, then engineered and priced to match. The Audi was designed to sell, market research determined the selling price and then the car was cobbled together from the VW parts bin to maximize profits and saleability.
Oh and as far as looks go...yes the Audi TT RS would win a beauty contest if it were opposite the first gen cayman. But this second gen cayman is freaking gorgeous and that Audi is nice but the cayman wins. Hell its got a cooler name too.
What's faster around the AutoGuide test track? a Porsche Cayman S or Audi TT-RS? Watch the video to find out. Porsche ***** #porsche #porschecayman #audi #audittrs #shootout #fastcars
Since you see caymans everyday and a ttrs is a rare sight. With the 20 grand difference vou would buy better brakes and suspension, fixing the fade and the understeer. And with the money you have left you could buy a superbike
3:30 I own a base model 2011 Audi TT and the flat bottom steering wheel comes standard in all Audi TT's, which is something I wish came with the Porsche Cayman, because I own an '08. Between the two.. I have to pick my Cayman that is now 8 years old over my TT which is only 5 years old. I feel like the Cayman is a little bit more responsive, the exhaust notes are SO much better than the TT's, and performance wise, I like being able to hit those sharp turns with its' RWD instead of a planted AWD. The interior to me is a tie. Audi's makes it a very convenient daily sports car you could easily even take a vacation in, whereas the Porsche, while very good in its own right, isn't the best choice for longer distances. And let's not forget about the mid engine. It's freakin' mid engine, what else is there to say?
cayman disadvantages a.) useless boot(s) b.) mid-engine hence expensive maintenance c.) no winter fun d.) engine growl nice but 5-pot in TTRS nicer cayman advantages a) it's a Porsche b.) it's sexy but S version is not a classic like the GT4 or Boxster Spyder, TTRS manual = classic c.) it's a Porsche
I'd like to see a test on the road. I drive, perhaps one day a year on the track, the rest of the time I am driving on the road so a track comparison is of little use to me. I don't drive the same way on roads that I drive on the track. Which car would you prefer to drive on a twisty mountain road?
Why is this a comparison? The Porsche wins. All of the audi's I've driven were nose heavy and understeered. I went BMW from VAG products and glad I saw the light. I respect the TTRS but the Porsche is a more focused driving machine. Audi's are good for Canadian winters though !!
Nice comparison. I've owned Audi S4 & S8. Now i want the Cayman. P.S. next time you go to the track for a comparison, wear a nice shirt, and take 5 minutes to clean up a little. Your mom might be watching!
Why don't Quattro Audis get selective rear bias, just like the R8 does? If Audi could make their non-supercar cars more fun to drive and with better steering, they'd properly kick ass. Until then I'd stick to BMW and RWD.
as much as i love audi, they cant compete with porsche...just like other car manufacturers...porsche have the top class tech right now..just look at what a heavy as fuck car like the 918porsche, not even that powerfull compared to other hypercars, did a record yet not beaten by others on nurburgring. audi ttrs is good when compared to a nissan 370z which is his direct rival and in my own opinion audi beats it in performance and looks...
***** Thanks for letting me know how you modded it...I test drove one of these things last year, and when I read the 0-60 times I was expecting some kind of major push into the seats when I floored it...but didn't get any kind of rush. After reading 0-60 times on the order of 3.6 seconds (some people report stuff like this) I was a bit disappointed. Nice to know you can mod these things easily...maybe I'll re-think...
I actually think the Audi looks softer. The rims are terrible, headlights, hood, grill is all just ok for me on the Audi. The Porsche especially in red, black, grey, even white looks fantastic.
I like both cars but if I had a free choice I would no doubt take the Cayman S, it´s newer and better in a aspects of being a sports car - And I do find it a very good looking sports car.
LMAO, I'VE DRIVEN BOTH BUT ON A BOXSTER FORM FACTOR INSTEAD OF THE CAYMAN, AND PORSCHE HANDLING IS FAR SUPERIOR HANDDLING THAN THE AUDI TTRS, SPECIALLY CORNERING AND TAKING CURVES AT HIGH SPEEDS. I ONCE RACED AN I8 AND I WAS TAKING SOME FREEWAY CURVES AT 130 MPH. BOXSTER/CAYMAN STICKS TO THE GROUND LIKE HELL !
I must be the only on here that likes the TTRS better than the Cayman, if I'm buying the Porsche I couldn't see spending the money on anything less than a 911. Which would smoke both in the test, but all wheel drive and the ability to tune the Audi relatively cheap and fix the faults it does have. I would pull the trigger on it first. I'm not riding around a track everyday. Plus 20k goes a long way to build up the Audi....
MomoiroOmnio Yeah, and you actually missing out on a couple, even if your list is quite long. Ducati, Scania, MAN and Bentley should be added to your list.
Thanks for the video however the way it's conducted is in my opinion questionable. This is a Cayman model few months old, loaded with all the latest tech and evo Porsche has to offer and the TT is a model that has been around since 2007!(new one out this year) Furthermore the 2013 TT RS comes with the option of the 7speed S-tronic(isn't in available across the Atlantic??). Finally, as mentioned, they have a rather significant price difference. So would appreciate stating all the facts next time. :)
The TTRS is only available with the manual here in the State's. You are right about the comparison in which the Cayman should have been stripped down to the bare essentials to keep cost low. I built a Cayman and the price is closer to $72K with the manual, sports chrono, etc. All the other things are extra and bloats the cost sooooo much.
Annoys me how you can NEVER just get a base model at a dealer. They're like movie theaters, they make all their money on the concession stand selling popcorn and extras. Better to just buy a used one with limited warranty. When is the dealer middleman gonna end????
The Cayman S is awful nice, but my home is in the mountains and we get snow and ice in the winters. For me personally I'd like the Cayman, but for practicality the Quattro works best. Or..... Maybe a Cayman S and a clapped out F150 4x4 for the winters. Yep, that'll do it, now I just have to sell it to the wife.
How on earth can you guys keep saying that the Cayman looks better than the TTRS?! HOW?! I mean, the Cayman is a handsome car, but the TTRS is the one who is going to win styling awards (and has done already)....
the only thing i agree with is that the cayman looks even better than a 911, in fact if the cayman was a girl it would look something like candice swanepoel
For my taste porsche is beautiful and audi more efficient, i will buy the audi very soon, looking for a low milliage one (wont spend 70k on a car, never, even if i won the lottery). Im my country a 2014 tt rs with no more than 15k mikes goes for around 36,000 us d, very reasonable price for this performance.
WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE PORSHE BEING PRETTYER THAN THE TTRS NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT IT ALL RONG THE TTRS IS SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOO MUCH PRETTYER
You are not alone. Dim witted Porsche fanboys always travel in packs and love to promote things based on price and not quality. "I'm going to like the cayman because I like the 911 but cant afford one and this one kind of looks like one, but oh wait I cant afford this either. Oh well I dont understand audi so it's inferior." The real brains know the TT RS is far more raw than the 911 and boxters sysgendered sibling.
Great Comparo. The Porsche is still a bit more expensive. You just got 1 thing wrong: the Audi TT RS looks much better ;) I guess i'm a bit biased. haha.
How do you get up in the morning, knowing you're filming this, and think "Perfect, I'll wear my favorite Doritos shirt today!"?
LOL
What's wrong with Dorito shirts bruh?! Wait they are? Awwww maaaaan
No doubt, and calling the Porsche feminine looking. LMAO. I am a fan of the TT cars but I think the Porsche looks so much better.
Next time you're filming, don't wear the t-shirt you got for free in the mail from the back of a bag of chips
When are they going to stop rating sports cars on cup holders, storage and stereos? Stop rating Porsches like you do a Dodge Caravan. And stop calling Porsches feminine. Why does a car have to look like the Batmobile to be tough?

+Marc Woodward Get the manual... (trust me)
+emptyskullify fuck off. It's his money. You go buy one in Manual.
+Chris Sorreda No, fuck you off. emptysullify has the right to suggest.
emptyskullify theres nothing better than the pdk (trust me).
Marc Woodward I sold my 997.2 4S and bought a 2014 981 Cayman S. cayman is the best car Porsche makes
That 5-cylinder sound is delicious.
UK tt rs has paddle shifters and launch control. Its 0-60 is 3.5..
TT drivers are still cocks, no matter the 0-60 time.
D . J . G hehe
D . J . G .. with the Porsche turbo s (991) That I just bought, I very much doubt it... also, we tend to drive around corners here in the uk.
This Cayman is one of the most beautiful cars ever made.
I like the Cayman a lot but dont like the twin boots. With the Audi you get a huge boot plus rear seats.so the Audi wins for me .
Your opinion. I think it looks average at best.
@@davidryan5482 i couldnt care less what you think .so do one .
ron richardson Yeh same here bud.
german cars and russian girls are THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD
yes, and they both love to spend your money !!!
koukou kouki and what if he haven't got sister??
The TT has always been my dream car. I hope to get one someday
have you bought an audi TTRS yet? its been 8 years and i am curious
Is the new Porsche Cayman S faster than the Audi TT-RS? We find out.

as an owner of a 2013 ttrs. it is sooo fun to drive especially in manual
Idiotic? The cupholders are awesome!

Porsche. There is no substitute. Period.
i love the design of the TT its just such a beautiful car
A little feminine looking? Really, keep eating your Doritos!!
That Audi with the 5-cyl exhaust sounds like a little Gallardo.
The RS looks far better than the Cayman, at least to me.
Why is this a comparison? The Porsche wins. All of the audi's I've driven were nose heavy and understeered. I went BMW from VAG products and glad I saw the light. I respect the TTRS but the Porsche is a more focused driving machine. Audi's are good for Canadian winters though !!
Love my 2014 Cayman S. So much so I'm going to find the 2014 Cayman GTS and start storing these. These are are truly great cars
There is something wrong the ttrs have 340 hp! And the ttrs plus have 360 hp the torgue is also wrong in this Description!
I disagree, those are great cup holders. You aren't using them properly. I know as I have them in my Boxster S.
The Cayman does not look feminine. ALL Audi's look feminine whether they have a RS or S badge.
did the Cayman S you test have the Carbon Ceramic brakes fitted? Perhaps that's why they were so consistent relative to the Audi
Nice comparison. I've owned Audi S4 & S8. Now i want the Cayman.
P.S. next time you go to the track for a comparison, wear a nice shirt, and take 5 minutes to clean up a little. Your mom might be watching!
Honestly why would anyone who can buy either would not choose the Porsche is beyond me.
How about collectability... Hmmm.
They're*** completely different cars.
Which is louder in your opinion?
Personally I think aesthetically the Cayman looks 10x better and the handling is amazing
Are these US or Canadian prices as the cars are shown with speedometer in km/h?
+david dykeman All the prices we use are American!
The Audi's understeer would drive me crazy, I'd take the Cayman with a stickshift.
"There is no substitute" - Porsche
Big fan of Audi but I would take the Cayman S
I'd have the Porsche, the TT is a girls car
That's not jealousy, that's stating my opinion on which car I would buy with my money
Then I smoke you in my girls car and watch it sky rocket in value when your cayman is worth $9k in 5 years you damn commoner.
Why don't Quattro Audis get selective rear bias, just like the R8 does? If Audi could make their non-supercar cars more fun to drive and with better steering, they'd properly kick ass. Until then I'd stick to BMW and RWD.
The interior of the TTRS looks exactly like my 2008 3.2. Crazy
as much as i love audi, they cant compete with porsche...just like other car manufacturers...porsche have the top class tech right now..just look at what a heavy as fuck car like the 918porsche, not even that powerfull compared to other hypercars, did a record yet not beaten by others on nurburgring.

I like to mod my cars. I know for a fact I'd get more hp for my $ from the RS. Stage 2 I believe is at 400hp at the crank.
I actually think the Audi looks softer. The rims are terrible, headlights, hood, grill is all just ok for me on the Audi. The Porsche especially in red, black, grey, even white looks fantastic.
lol ttrs comes with an automatic you just don't get it in the us.
What is that auto guide plate doing there, what a drag.
I like both cars but if I had a free choice I would no doubt take the Cayman S, it´s newer and better in a aspects of being a sports car - And I do find it a very good looking sports car.
I think the Base and S Caymans are the best looking Porsches by a mile. I never thought the 911 was particularly attractive.
I would take the ttrs anyday
LMAO, I'VE DRIVEN BOTH BUT ON A BOXSTER FORM FACTOR INSTEAD OF THE CAYMAN, AND PORSCHE HANDLING IS FAR SUPERIOR HANDDLING THAN THE AUDI TTRS, SPECIALLY CORNERING AND TAKING CURVES AT HIGH SPEEDS. I ONCE RACED AN I8 AND I WAS TAKING SOME FREEWAY CURVES AT 130 MPH.

rwd makes the Cayman better for driving fun.
Audi is better anyway because they own porsche guys
That Cayman is stunning. The TTRS looks as good but still a great car.
Mike lets hear a little enthusiasm in that voice, and not make it sound like you're reading flash cards! Great job guys!
A computer cannot out-think the human brain.
Lots of Caymans and Cayman S's around, manual TTRS's... not so much. I'll put my money on the Audi, also for winter fun in the snow belt :)
how are they from the same parent company?
i never new porsche was under the Volkswagen group
lance lanceislike Actually, Volkswagen bought Porsche just a couple of years ago. I think it where completed last during 2013.
MomoiroOmnio Yeah, and you actually missing out on a couple, even if your list is quite long. Ducati, Scania, MAN and Bentley should be added to your list.

I like the styling of the Porsche Coxster!
Agreed, the new Cayman is better looking than the 991
But the audi is the better workhorse at altitude, bad weather and/or running from the police on variable surfaces.
you seem to alternate between saying Porsche correctly and incorrectly
How on earth can you guys keep saying that the Cayman looks better than the TTRS?! HOW?! I mean, the Cayman is a handsome car, but the TTRS is the one who is going to win styling awards (and has done already)....
Yes
Both of these cars look feminine to me. Although the ttrs looks a little more masculine with those large fenders.
The Cayman looks more feminine than the Audi??!
Definitely. That's a fact , TTRS is much more aggressive.
roozbehbey
TT's are known girls cars...
Matt R C not the TTRS , it is definitely not a car made for girls and that is a fact.
roozbehbey A girl in combatboots is still a girl.

the only thing i agree with is that the cayman looks even better than a 911, in fact if the cayman was a girl it would look something like candice swanepoel

That doritos shirt tho hahahhahahahha

The Cayman S gets better fuel mileage....
Flies2FLL who cares too much about that when buying this cars.
WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT THE PORSHE BEING PRETTYER THAN THE TTRS NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YOU GOT IT ALL RONG THE TTRS IS SSSSSSSSOOOOOOOO MUCH PRETTYER
DatCat shut up
DatCat shut the fuck up
It's ok man. You have fun driving your car whilst DatCat has fun looking at the back of your RS as you drive away.
cayman all day
Cayman S all day. The TT looks ok but it's out dated. New Cayman looks proper and performs better.
It's also $65000 versus $54000 base anyways
2015 TT still looks out dated lol, the headlights look cool though
Angry first grip second with an Audi equipped with Quattro?
Well Audi is also more for "normal" people, were the Porsche is more for well yes
First person i ever heard that doesn't like Bose
Audi tt rs anyone... No?.. Only me:(

The Audi looks way better than the Porsche.
R u a girl?
the TT RS sounds like a little v10..
Sorry but the TTRS is far better looking and way more rare.
There basically the same car
Great Comparo. The Porsche is still a bit more expensive. You just got 1 thing wrong: the Audi TT RS looks much better ;) I guess i'm a bit biased. haha.
No, you need glasses-
Porsche Way more beautiful though!
TTRS is not a track car!
cayman just looks better than audi
I think TT looks cute like girlyy...porsche looks boyish..!! TT is pink Beetel of sports car.
Lol. Audi TT rival? Amateurs.
I'll take the Cayman
