  • 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 Review by The Straight Pipes. The Cayman GT4 is pumping out 414hp and 309 lb-ft tq from a 4L flat 6 cylinder engine. Sitting at $148,205 CAD, would this be your pick over the C8 Corvette, Porsche 718 Spyder, Porsche 911 GT3 lol?

    Oops, yes it has 414hp not 404hp*. Want a Porsche GT car for the track but think it's too expensive? Check out our $5000 cheap car challenge: ua-cam.com/play/PLA4uenOUaeyRDsUVM10oCmFbMUDTKWo-G.html

    • @frogogogo
      @frogogogo 3 роки тому +5

      No Name the exhaust seems like an afterthought, that’s for sure. And I think with the front fascia they were trying to mimic the styling of the later model GT3, but there are some elements that could use a redesign

    • @NoName-qp1op
      @NoName-qp1op 3 роки тому +1

      Frederick Jackson thats true. I also think that a gt car should not look aggressive. It should look happy and playful. Like a toycar. This is also the reason i dont like boring colors on them. ;) they need brigh, loud, fancy ones. Green, blue, red, yellow..

    • @frogogogo
      @frogogogo 3 роки тому +2

      No Name that’s fair too. I find the subtlety in design for GT cars - smooth lines, curves, etc. - brings out the elegance of the car, and since GTs are typically practical, it’s probably best if the overall looks are subdued

Running second on tight canyons is perfect. Running third on sweepers is perfect. It’s like driving a velvet knife. Anywhere.

    I really don’t understand why you’re hating so much on the Spyder .. it’s basically the same car and actually much more special if you think of that there’s no other open top GT car except the Speedster. (And maybe Carrera GT and 918 Spyder). Compared to the GT4 where there are tons and tons of new and old GT3’s, GT3 RS, GT2 etc.. if you don’t like convertibles in general why hate on the Spyder? There’s nothing wrong with the car.. I’m pretty sure the spec your test car had is a part of your criticism.. The Spyder needs bucket seats as well, as it’s a hard core Roadster and not a Cruiser. The GT4 had a much better configuration

      The roof is a pain to deal with compared to the Speedster, along with everything else we said in both videos about why we prefer the Cayman
