- In this film. I get the chance to drive the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS. I'm sure some or most of you know, this car now has a flat 4 turbocharged engine which has dampenned most peoples thoughts. So I want investigate whether some of that lovely magic is still intact.
Enjoy.

Hope you enjoy this film.
Keep an eye out for more action.
Looking a bit busy with that gear box
Sid, great film, definitely one of the best ones yet.. the 718 GTS is an incredible car, amazing chassis, handling and this new engine delivers SO much power at any rev range, its SO quick people dont realise, and its finally enough power to push the chassis.... great stuff Sid, and amazing car the 718 GTS is
Really good quality - more of this bud
Drove a GTS yesterday. What a machine. So sharp
Literally a pleasant reminder of Chris Harris on Cars. I've said it before, I'll say it again, Sid, your delivery almost matches that of Chris. It's fantastic, the cinematography is on point and the delivery, as said, fantastic.
Appreciate it. Thank you
@@SidNorth Deserve the praise mate. You're a fantastic motor-journo.
Seriously, he was born to do this.
🙏🙏🙏
Own a 18 718 Cgts, stage 3 tune gives me over 500 horses to the rear, fuk me if that aint the best performing Porsche dollar for dollar they’ve ever built. So tunable, so fast and so daily usable. 🌶️🔥
Camera work is really next level, looking forward to hopefully a comparison between the old and new GT4
Hopefully that will happen soon.
@@SidNorth old one for me. newer one is just way to expensive, and on the road there will be no difference.
I can’t get past the amount of times you change gear within a second of the previous change 😂
I own a 2018 Boxster GTS and use it as my daily driver. It's a lot of fun for the price.
Great Vid, just ordered a 718 Cayman S 2 weeks ago, delivery in September, and this makes me happy that I made the right choice. Now just the long wait.....
Your videos have just gone up a notch with this one Sid, keep it up, great stuff!
Thank you very much.
I own a 2019 Cayman GTS, and it is truly an amazing car. I have it as my daily driver and could be more pleased. Great video. If anyone reading this is contemplating a 718 versus 911, definitely test-drive one of these
If you still have the GTS, how do you like it and how many miles do you have on the odometer now? Would you still the same that you enjoy it like you did when you posted the comment 4 years ago?
I was going to ask the same thing as above!
This film was simply amazing, more of this please! Sid you really delivered big time here keep it up!
Thanks for showing the Porsche experience track, just yesterday booked up to have instruction there in my own car and in the 718 cayman.
Sid. Brilliant vid. Your channel and presentation have certainly matured. Lookin' good :)
Awesome film! I got a 718 Cayman a year and a bit ago and have loved every moment - sound track is literally the only down point. New exhaust? 🤔
We need to blow you up on CZcams and social media. You are amazing. Your work is topnotch and on par, if not better, than majority of the major car reviewers (both on CZcams and professional). I look forward to watching more of your content!
Great professional delivery and video work. Keep it up!
Really impressive video Sid! Great visuals, audio track and your delivery is spot on. I know it must be a huge amount of work to put this together, but the quality shines through. keep it up!
Thank you very much.
Appreciate it 👍🏽
Sid... Another fantastic review! As always the cinematic from Thomas is on point! I always see an improvement from a video to another. Really great content from one of the best motoring channel in the world for me... For the way you use to describe and drive the cars! Hat off to you Mate!
This was great Sid

Your presenting skills are getting better and better Sid, keep at it, the new Chris Harris in the making
Excellent review!!!....on a fantastic car!!
BTW, beautiful watch!!.....Omega Seamaster Professional, it looks like??
You remind me of Steve Sutcliffe in a way with a mix of Jethro and Chris Harris
Mans hustling for the New GT4 allocation
😂😂. Mans ain’t got enough revenue to buy chips 🍟
thedownshiftchannel I remember discovering your channel just as you bought your R34 dude, I just remember seeing this channel with a few thousand subs and he's buying a perfect spec skyline! Well over triple that number now, keep on grinding
Stupendous videography and presentation by Sid.
CK ROY 🙏🙏🙏
Big step up in production, really good stuff
I had a 2015 981 Boxster GTS..........I now have a 2018 718 Boxster GTS.......yes the sound is better on 981 but in my opinion it is not a better car. The 718 looks better, has apple car play and is noticeably faster! The 4 cylinder does sound different but I enjoy the sound of the turbos and a few crackle and pops! It's very raspy and cool! I absolutely love my 718 GTS
Any porsche is special
Great stuff. You earned another subscriber!
Sideways Sid doing what he does best... Going sideways!
Great review mate 👍
Great delivery for one of the best sports cars ever produced.
Was that a private road u did some sick drifts
Really curious about how the Cayman GTS compares to the M2 Competition.
What a brilliant vid man!!!! Loved it.
You should do a review on the 2019 mazda miata mx5 and compere it with the cayman they are the best purest afordable car that the money can buy .
Just doesn’t sounds like any modern production 4 pot and that’s something you have to love and allows you to respect it as a full sports car and not a hot hatch sounding TTS
It sounds like a Subaru cause it's a flat 4. It does not sound like hot hatch cause those are in line 4s. IMO the in lines sound a lot better than this fart bag.
Sid, bro this was a quality review. Keep it up bro!!!!!!!
2:50, beautiful 🔥🔥
Sid. Youre a natural.
And if you tune this bad boy you can get close to 400whp/torque without too many other mods.
I wish people would quit bitching about the sound. It is different from the flat 6, of course, and that engine's howl IS beautiful to hear. But.... I don't think the 4 cyl sounds bad at all! Just different! And the torque from 2000 rpm is much stronger than my 981 had. The car is now faster, and I would say overall better.
What’s the difference between the cayman gts n the cayman gt4
Engine sounds great!!!!
How you only have 30k subscribers is beyond me! Best content by far 🤙
I like the engine note but if you cannot live with it by sports exhaust from Tubi Style or similar:)
No words. Fantastic video.
Cracking car, cracking bloke = cracking review! Keep them coming buddy, be cool to meet up at Goodwood FoS this year if your about. 😎✌️
Great vid Sid .. !
1:50. 6,5,4,3 very nice
Lloyd_365 Does this actually reduce damage to the gearbox or is it a myth?
@@ScottZ370 Dont see how it would aide or damage the trans.. Unless you're doing it wrong.
See ya on top gear in a few years 🚗💨
BBR mazda mx5 would be a great review
Another absolutely greatly made video👌👌
Dude you sound just like Chris Harris! 👍 like literally I thought it was Chris talking before you stepped on camera lol.
Amazing review mate.
Why does EVERYONE say that it's like getting an S with all the performance toys at a discounted price?. It is not. It is cheaper ONLY if you would have bought the different front and rear fascias (i.e. the Sport Design Package).
Here's a completely configured S with all the toys: www.porsche-code.com/PKRDLYQ2
Here's a GTS with the same configurastion: www.porsche-code.com/PK67DSE1
The differences between them are the GTS has black painted wheels (which I don't like as much), has the sport design package and has black tail pipes. Plus 15HP, obviously. The S is $98,410. The GTS is $101,420. Now, if you add the items mentioned to the S the price goes up to about $103,750 and it IS cheaper. But by far the biggest contributor is the facias and they are aesthetic changes that I don't actually favor rather than performance ones.
Chris Harris level review that 🙏 amazing
Seriously underrated channel. Future Top Gear presenter for sure
Will now refer to any GTS as the TMD now 🤣👌🏼
Another sunny day in the UK
The next Chris Harris! Keep these videos coming!
Sid for top gear
Ah yes the meal deal of the car world.
What’s with the constant shifting for no apparent reason, looks like you are having a seizure
I suffer ‘Oversteer seizure’
(Young and Stupid)
It’s a good car but I find it way too expensive, especially after you add all the options you want. For the money, you could get a 981 GT4, a 991.1 Carrera S or a BMW M4 Competition…
Out of those, only the 981 GT4 is a real competitor. A 991.1 will feel dreadfully sluggish and inert compared to the 718 (I've driven both back to back). M4 Competition is a BMW so nty
Changed from BMW M4 CP to a Cayman 718 GTS. I loved the M4 but the Cayman GTS is a superior car, more of an event, sharper steering, PDK beats DCT, perfect balance and the engine may be a 4 cylinder, but it’s the best 4 cylinder engine on the planet and behaves like an NA engine, very responsive and powerful. Could no he happier.
waow that is one of the best videos I never seen I'm shocked
hello from france
Thank you, and Hello 👋🏽
Hmm, at around 8:10, you said the car finally gets the motor it deserves. I think you probably meant to say it finally gets the power it deserves. One could just buy a 981 S and add a tune and some headers. That gets you the same HP (not sure about torque).
2:47 - sick!!!
krbcrwlr one of his best slides
First 4 pot since the 912 Maybe in years to come will be lushed after.
Is it pronounced Pornsche?
😂
dont you dare dissapear now
So 4 cylinder is the motor it deserves with the assist of a hair dryer!!! The new 718 GT4 has the correct engine. The car you described although being balanced has no soul
Pretty sure there is no turbo in there sid
There is, look and check.
@@SidNorth ah yes my bad, the 2020 model is a 4.0 litre flat 6 NA engine.
WHY THE FUCK IS THERE ONE CLIP UN COLOuR GRADED!!! LIVID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SO ANGRY RN !!!
Awful producten qwalitea
Good driver ! Hamilton ? 😂
Ew 4 cylinder Porsche
They love their flat 4s, like Subaru
If only they could fix the sound, must be possible.
@@93455Driver - not possible , well I suppose they could pump a 6 cyl sound through the stereo. The sound is a function of the exhaust gas timing. That's why this sounds like a Subaru.
Anyone who buys the old 981 GT4, 981 S, or even the 981 Cayman base model, over the 718, needs their head examining
360 p? Must be an error on your behalf.
Give it a few mins. 4K should arrive
Porsche gave us the power but took away 2 of the pots. Bad idea Porsche. And man made CO2 climate change is fake news so bring it back with the flat-6 please.
Nice review thanks.
How did Audi manage to make their 2.5 litre engine sound so epic and Porsche made this sound like an asthmatic Golf GTI? They should have done a 5 pot, perhaps. I'm literally the target market for this and can finally afford one but won't be buying it, getting am M2 comp instead. Way to kill off a brand, Porsche!
A 5 pot boxer engine. Please tell us how are you planning to build that ? 🤷♂️🤷♂️ you may be in the market for an expensive car, but certainly don’t know a lot about Porsche or car engineering.
But hey, we’re a year further now.. now you can order the new gts with 4.0 flat six. ;-)
