How those opening shots are done... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/otWcg7xe0q7Op6c.html

A couple of remarks: a) you can have stitching in different color, like I have shark blue contrast stitching and shark blue seat belts :-) b) PCCB was for a long time not available and therefore, there are cars with steel brakes (like mine) and this is probably anyway the better choice for tracking (mind the cost of new PCCBs if not specified when the car is originally configured , btw, same goes for PTS which is only available in homeopathic dosed) c) don’t judge the cars value based on the obscene prices asked for by the car flippers but on its normal list price (available to the some 7’000 buyers lucky enough to get one allocated. Cheers from a proud GT4RS owner ❤ P.S. and if you don’t like the multiple downshifts when overtaking: try manual mode with the paddles, works wonders 😊

I knew this was an 'Ant' car from the description you gave it Jayemm on your main channel. The firm suspension, the noise, the looks etc were always going to appeal to Ant. It's a useful foil to challenge your position at times Jayemm, not necessarily to change your position but to force you to clarify. Cheers, Kevin

Explanation on the GT4RS nurburgring lap time. The reason the 4rs is 9 seconds slower is because it has no double wishbone suspension. The front end of the car wasn't as compliant or direct when compared to the gt3. I think I remember AP saying that Porsche tried to fit a double wishbone on the 4rs but couldn't fit one because of the size of the cayman.

Thank you both for a great vid! Of course I remember Condorman... Michael Crawford in pre "Phantom of the Opera " mode

Ant! Loved the comment about Condorman! That chase scene with the all black 930s and a slant nose 935 look model in there, pretty sweet. That's where I was really first introduced to 930s/935 as a kid although I've remained hooked ever since. 😂

The perfect companion to the video on the main channel; showing an alternative viewpoint👍🏾

Condorman remember that car chase well. Loved the black 911’s 😊

Thank goodness for Ant. Grumpy negates the astonishing Nurturing time of the GT4RS which is better than a 720 McLaren, even if it cant match the GT3 on that track. Ant is spot on except regarding the expensive carbon ceramics, which I didnt order, because of their cost and the fact that even Porsche use steel if they are tracking cars. Grumpy says they will make 7,000 of these, which, if they did, would answer his complaint about real drivers not being able to order one.Grumpy says it is just a Cayman, but its actually more than that. Its an instant classic. Thank you Porsche.

Quite like the format of this, lots of dramatic scenes and sounds, along with the nice chat between 2 friends 👍

Yeah - good format - true enthusiast format - just chatting about a car(s)

Nice work, good chat about your thoughts. I personally love the interior and you can make some small changes. I changed the colour of the seat inserts. 100 over sticker is stupid, but comparing it to a Mclaren ?? Atleast one can drvie the 4RS everyday to the shops etc, where as a 675, or whatever, you wouldn't drive it to the shops and you'll always wonder if you'll get home and not breakdown (again).

Enjoyed the format. Anyone who pays £240k for a what is basically a track focused Cayman is either mental or too damn rich.

I have a black 997 because of Condorman. Morovich of the Prognorviach drives a fake 935 turbo to chase Condorman in his kit car. I am tempted by some Fuchs wheels just to make it look more Prognorviach.

Great video and I really enjoyed the format, thank you both!

Loving the video! The GT4RS is stunning!

Great banter guys, well done. Keep it up 👍

Such a ‘want one’ car. But for £250k, is t it better getting a rare 981 GT4 for a third of a money, for maybe 75% of the experience?!

Great, perfect video. Yep, I am another perosn who could buy one at msrp but refuses to do so at 100k over. And, given the recent Porsche issues, would always be worried about bore scoring anyway, even on the gt3 engine. Crap tech.

The thing about GT4RS, the interior options are... dull. Arctic Grey or Deep-Sea Blue accents, and that is it. No Exclusive Manufaktur leather package, not even a chance of having painted interior package if you go for PTS exterior. I'm kind of annoyed. Not that I can afford it anyway, though. And them intake howl more than makes up for it.

Contrast stitching, coloured seatbelts and door pulls are all options to spruce up the interior. If you have money to burn you can change the colour of the air vents and all carbon trim.

Yes! Condorman!! Haven't thought about that movie for ages but watched it repeatedly as a kid. Those black chase Porsches looked amazing!

It is as quick as a GT3 around UK tracks

Excellent format! Love the differing views. Absolutely enjoy the GT4RS. I am with Ant on this one. Although other competitors at the inflated price point are worth the look, I find them to be too big (Aventador SVJ) and perhaps from manufacturers with less durable reliability (McLaren). The 4RS is the perfect size, comes with plenty of drivable theater, and from a manufacturer with higher reliability.

I watched your other GT4 RS review - here are a couple of thoughts for you (1) the 4RS has the gear set from the 991.2 3RS (2) the engine is the engine used as the base for the Cup Car - now do Lotus Emira (1) AMG four banger or (2) modified Camry engine mated to an interesting gear box. RS cars also have reduced sound insulation and thinner lexan windows. They are very much designed to be the track capable road car. The harsh reality is, with Porsche you are buying engineering, design, manufacturing and performance excellence - with Lotus you are paying for the fantasy of that.

Yes……… make more of these. They are rather good………. I may never watch the television again 🥳🇬🇧

Kudos …I wish i had the eloquence to express what i feel as wonderfully as u do..👊🏼🤙🏼

I’d have a spyder all day long looks more special too although I love the 987 spyder the new ones are stunning too especially with the 4.0 engines

I specked one up to about £160 K same colour but yellow inside too looks fantastic 😊😊😊

Love this second style opinion video!!!!!

More of these videos yes!

I’m happy to have gotten a Cayman GTS for 1/3 of the price. I got 4.0 liters also although James dislikes it.

Yes, I enjoyed this format. Also, the shots of the car from the front and back with the roaring exhaust could send chills down my spine. I could watch a vid of those alone. I agree with Ant, when you have a car like this, I don't care about the interior, I just want to look out forward.

James has a penchant for driving fast Caymans on cold damp b-roads, I don’t get it? I get that the weather is standard British fare, but come on man, try one in July! 😅

What you are complaining about, the plainness of inheritor, in my mind is deliberate and contributes to the ergonomics and non distracting space … a space that feels quality yet brings focus to driving! Unlike the distracting flamboyance … Yet for little details like stiching and many more.. Porsche allows a ton of options for one to configure and personalize their cars.. 😮 ( if one cares to that degree.. every moment of 3-5 months delivery is worth it ! )

There is nothing wrong with the interior of this particular GT4RS that yellow tartan seat inserts and door cards wouldn't fix.

Dont worry Jay Em, when the thruth is controversial it always happen. I'm myself a french canadian car journalism and the other the i demolish the mustang mach e and it didn't went well but i don't care in the end most peoples agree with me

Great to see new friends on channel

What an EPIC car !!! it’s awesomely loud and love it ❤

I actually prefer the bitching back & forth to the main videos - much more like real life! Keep it up guys, always entertaining.

If you'd like to take a ride out in one, let them know... You don't have to own it to enjoy it! Do you?

I don't love how it looks, first because it's a 718 and not a 981, second because it doesn't give me that feeling of race car for the road, but nonetheless it looks shouty The 981 GT4 looked perfect to me

Giddy up Batman!!!!!!!!!!!!🥶

Am I allowed to watch this one first?

Motorcyclists wear ear plugs now to counteract the wind noise... Plug in & zone out?

I delight in the fact it is not a modern, squared off, enormous box. That seems to be the way cars are heading and they are ugly as sin (BMW). The interior of this is dull and the wing is a bit of an overkill but at least it suits the idea of the GT4. Rather have the Boxster 4.0 in reality.

Despite all my rage I'm still a rat in a cage.

I had one and the firm suspension killed it for me. It’s the most uncompromising ride I’ve experienced in my car ownership. I’ve had over 200 cars. Sold it back the dealer for list plus a bit in order to not get black listed. Really it’s too compromised for road and if you want a car that can track and road, you’re better off with a GT4.

because james is old before his time?

James, it's clear you're not a Porsche guy. And that's OK.

This was more informative than the review itself, sorry James

And for Christs sake … Aventador ? and absolute Junk of a driving car … just flamboyance. The Beauty of Porsche is the unparalleled synergy of their Cars .. Gestalt to nth degree !!! Max Performance Max quality …. ! if U find a track ready/ performance car with better reliability, quality … let me know … and why u think so 🤙🏼

If you're interested in a buying a new Porsche sports car just watch one of JayEmm's video's and he'll be sure to turn you off.

My thoughts: 1. the design is now outdated both exterior and interior, it goes back to 2014 for pity sake. For someone to say its a great looking car, well while I respect their opinion, then the old aston vantage is also a great looking car, as is the DB9, but they too are outdated. It is IMO NOT a great looking car in "todays" market, it is simply due a huge update, which it wont get in petrol format, in theory...... 2. Having said that, the engine is of course great, as that is something thats been constantly updated....... 3. It is pointless and incorrect to think of this car as a 110/20/40k car, ITS NOT. In no other EU country is it priced that way. The UK price is simply to "reward" high spending customers who give porsche UK a lot of money each year to help them write off all the money they "throw" at porsche. The real price of this car is about 180/200k and thats where your thoughts should be based. 4. Hence, is it a great car for 200k? Its a good car, but its outdated. Its a great engine and good chassis on a car that is 8 years old and hence for me, it simply is not worth 200k compared to what you can get for that money IMO. THe constant conversation of porsches speccial customers and GT cars and prices is pointless and it is something that is very much UK dominated, its not in general a EU problem and perhaps its time for porsche to stop this, but perhaps if they do, maybe they loose many company car sales for owners and directors with the taycans and macans etc that are the real cash cows and maybe those people go to audi or mercedes... but thats a separate video surely. Lets stop making reference to the prices of these GT cars in the UK, they are not real...... So you have to compare this car to a GT3 and for my money, its no where near. The 911 looks much more classy, updated, great interior, more space. yes maybe less usable of the roads, but is any 500hp car usable on the roads, does 10cm difference chance that fact. For me, the best sunday drive fun car is a caterham, atom, nomad,.... with the 50k price being key and width, gear change in any of these cars beats the porsche hands down!!! Thrills on UK roads beats any porsche hands down..... I'd probably take a caterham and a vantage F1 together for less than 200k, before I would buy a GT car.... more fun, with the caterham, different vibe with the aston that the porsche, which still has a bit of a hate factor in the UK..... and its good to be different, not the same as all the others .... IMO. This car is over priced for what it is..when looking at the real price.

Where is the grumpy journalist?? I can spot Ant and i can spot a grumpy youtuber. But nowhere can i see a journalist.

pointless video

Love the format. Love the car. Sadly for me, I couldn't afford 120k so am going to stick with cars like the Megane R26.
