What’s Mexico Blue, mid-engined, revs to 9000 rpm and makes me question my “GT3 is the best” statement? The Cayman platform has finally received the RS treatment, and with that it gets the full out GT3 4.0L flat-six. The familiar RS ingredients are here, lightweight carbon fiber, huge rear wing and a track-focused purpose. Join me as we take my friend Syed's Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS for a drive and give it a full on-road review!

Correction! I was mistaken, this car IS equipped with the magnesium wheels! My mistake. Enjoy the video!
I’d take the GT4RS. Aside from its analog nature and visceral sound, it’s the right size, and it’s very practical with the hatchback. And I say this as someone who’s owned both. 😉
I'm driving the GT4RS right now, same one in the video. And love it. I definitely did not expect it to be better than the GT3. But it really is. I do prefer the GT3 looks more though.
It’s probably a good thing for you that this one doesn’t come in a manual
I love everything about this build and this review. The 4RS is absolutely mental. We have a few local ones and as a former GT4 owner it's perfect all around track and street weapon.
As a former GT4 owner its only proper for you to get one of these someday!! Glad you enjoyed the review.
I see this GT4RS every week. Epic car.
It’s such a perfect spec
Me too. Love the way the owner specked this, I believe he owns pmc.
Gotta love watching you drive on roads that I drive almost daily lol
Haha love it
Great video as always! The intake sounds never get old. Gotta go for some rips in mine with the Soul Race Exhaust! 👊🏻
Thanks!! I am 100000% down to experience this car with an exhaust haha
@@EddieX lol ok sounds like a plan! 😈
My ultimate dream car, and my favorite car reviewer! Great video Eddie!
Thank you for the support!
Can't get over the sound!!! Love the 4.0!!!
One of the best internal combustion engines ever
For most folks, money really matters. The regular 718 Spyder is more than enough sports car for far less money than the RS.
Great review from Los Angeles!
Appreciate your videos!
Appreciate your support!
Yes, its fantastic. Porsche RS cars are unique a lot of nuance to them, much more hi - fidelity than the standard GT div. products e.g. GT3 GT4.
Absolute symphony for the ears 🔥
The best
Someone buying an rs product and complaining about how harsh the ride is, is like someone buying a hot coffee and complaining it’s to hot. You want comfort buy a rolls
Aahahaha fully agree
Eddie, nice review of the GT4 RS. I've driven both a 992.1 GT3 and a GT4 RS at the PEC in Los Angeles. Both had PDK. My thoughts are that the GT4 RS, as with any RS product, is better for track work but I'd much prefer the GT3 for mostly street driving (although it's a beast on the track, too). As I already own a dedicated Honda S2000 Time Trial/Time Attack car, I'd take the 6-speed manual GT3 over a GT4 RS as a fun street/occasional track car. Plus, don't forget that the operational costs (fluids, brakes, tires, etc.) of using the GT4 RS for frequent track use can be very expensive.
I have a rich neighbor (who I don't know personally) but he has the new 992 Turbo S, 992 GT3, and 718 GT4 RS. His 992 Turbo is his daily and is parked on the sidewalk a lot. The GT cars are covered mostly and he seems to use them for his special drives.
Same question Eddie: you like this better than the gt350r even with the pdk only? I am planning on getting the spyder rs and have a gt350r
Very different feel. Especially cause pdk and not manual. On a track I’d take the GT4 RS, fun canyon road and around town I’d go for the Shelby.
*patiently waiting for the Emira review*
Couple of weeks 🫣
I'd take a gt3 manual but this is objectively better for performance.
That was my conclusion too. Manual GT3 > PDK GT4 RS > PDK GT3
Sounds better than a GT3, but without the dual wishbone front suspension there's no way it could be better than a GT3.
I agree. from a pure handling standpoint the 992 GT3 is better, but there are many other factors to consider. Size, the experience with the intake noise, mid-engined balance, etc.
Eddie would you get the Gt4RS over the gt350r? And would you pick the Gt4RS over the spyder rs? I got an allocation from Porsche for one and may have to give up my gt350r for one. Thoughts?? Help.
Hard choice given the GT4 RS is like 3x the price haha. If you’re willing to move on from the manual, GT4 RS is such an amazing driving experience. I haven’t driven the spyder RS, but unless you live somewhere with perfect weather 300 days a year, I think id go for the GT4 RS.
Eddie. Thanks for the reply. It’s so hard to let go of the Shelby. Let alone the manual.
GT3 < GT4 RS < GT3 RS. Just my personal opinion of which I would take
My dream car
Excellent dream car!
Poor windshield. Amazing whip!!!!
Results of proper track use 😅
Yeah, not sure if it has the lightweight glass, but if it does, it’s notorious for breaking!
Ed your opinion, Turbo S or GT3? 🤔🤷🏾♂️
I wouldn’t cross shop the two
Way too different of personality
Dream
Never like the comparison between GT3and GT4 RS, they are so different cars RS too stiff,too loud and too serious for the road and for everyday drives, GT3 is comfy, spacious and more refined, I still think GT3 a better choice either manual or PDK if i want to really use the car in all the occasions, the RS belones only in the war.
Eddie X on X
No manual? That is sad
Make a GT4 S/T with a manual
Whats sexier, that GT4 RS or Eddies legs? Ok let me finish watching the video.
😂😂😂 definitely the car
Anyone notice an Alfa F1 car in the showroom or am I trippin’?
Yep haha. One of the display cars was there for a while!! So epic
Cool car except I think some dentist is driving it right now which ruins it 😂
Resale value has been catastrophically ruined!!!
The Weissach ruins the look IMO. Yes the CF is beautiful, but non Weissach looks much better. No race tex dash either.
The question is lease or buy 😂
With a Porsche GT car...I would say buy.
@@EddieX dang it byeeeee byeeeee wallet 🤣 I don't need 4 seats!
dislike, there is a particular miata with a green bumper suspiciously missing from this video. not surprised you kept the superior car out of the video 🙄
And it's Miami Blue, not Mexico Blue
looks like mexico to me
It is def Mexico Blue. I literally asked Syed.
@@EddieXtheyhave the same initials. Say its MB color. Hahaha to deal with the critique. Hope you respond to at least i know i interacted with the man
himself
overpriced AF
