2022 Porsche Cayman GT4 RS Review // LOUD NOISES
The 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS ($230,370 CAD as specced, $195,190 USD as specced) is nothing short of special. Special not only in terms of availability, but special in the sense of occasion it aims to provide you with as the driver. A nine-thousand rpm redline is at the command of your right foot. And with it comes the screaming sound of a naturally aspirated flat-six engine - further enhanced by two additional intakes nestled beside each ear. With 493 horsepower and 332 lb ft of torque, this Porsche looks hard to beat on paper. But does this mighty machine live up to its high expectations on the track? Thomas and James are excited to find out! We hope you enjoy the episode! SUBSCRIBE!
Big thank you to Chris Harris for agreeing to be our janky cameraman. Check out his new project at collectingcars.com

i never thought this colab would happen and I'm over the moon it has. I hope to see so much more of this in the future. way to go, guys!
What is colab
@@albertzweistein7097 it means they're working with someone
@@iFigure I knoow 🤣 just a joke
@@albertzweistein7097 it's when one scientific laboratory loves another scientific laboratory and they make a baby
@@iFigure yes.
Chris Harris cameo? Y’all just made my day! Just when you think it can’t get better. Keep it up TH!
And he was hilarious 😄
When did he get so fat?
Now that was an unexpected cameo! Perfect 👌
wait whuuuut. didnt expect to see you here lol
OMG CHRISSSS
@@Zairn12345 Did Top Gear SACK all of their presenters again? I'm sure FOURTH time will be the charm...
"I'm still quicker than you with one foot though". Chris is a legend. 😂
I love old top gear and the grand tour is great, but seriously this is right there. You two deserve your own series. Doing grand challenges like they do.
a perfect trio, with Chris Harris :D
If they announced these 3 as the Top Gear presenters, I honestly can't see why anyone would be disappointed. Won't happen, but would be awesome.
I think James,Thomas and Jason Cammisa would be a good trio.
@@franciscodanconia4324 agreed
God, no. Why is everyone doing good job with cars at some point dragged by own viewers to copy top gear. They are fine with what they are doing and how they are doing it. More than fine!
Loving the work from you two! Awesome seeing Chris Harris and you guys together! The most awesome crossover ever made!
The last sentence doesn't really work, does it?
@@soulsnatcher5408 ur fun at parties
@@soulsnatcher5408 so strange to see TH doing better than Top Gear.
@@purwantiallan5089 because Throttle House is genuine, like the real Top Gear was. It's just a couple of friends having fun making car videos that did well, and then the production got better. I didn't even know who that guy was until I read it in the comments.
@@deejayimm Oh come on! Chris Harris is soo much more than that pathetic Top Gear venture.
"This has turned me into a baby owl" I absolutely love this. I love Porche's in almost all shapes and flavors, and always held up the styling of the 911 as the peak, but this, this is magnificent. Great job guys
The effort put into this video has made me tear up like the GTC4Lusso video you guys made, and the LFA. The emotions this gave off were unlike any other review I’ve watched in the past from any other KZheadr excellent job guys you’re truly the best. 👏👏👏
The new quality of production is next level! The LFA video was simply put the best piece of automotive journalism I’ve ever seen and ever video since has done a fantastic job capturing quality and emotion like no one else is doing right now.
Agreed the LFA video the team were on top form 👌👏
I'd love them to redo the Mustang Gt350R, we're not gonna get another Mustang like that and it deserves what the LFA, and Gt4rs have IMO
You never watched Top Gear then haha
Or ignition i think it was called in KZhead they are making really high production videos .. because here we see what ? Good camera quality , music , few good angles and they talk bit of BS thats all .. theres nothing artistic its just really well made
I’ve seen that LFA video at least 10 times!
Simply put, you’re the best automotive review channel on KZhead. Your knowledge of the details, passion for driving, humor, and humility make it so. Cheers for that!
All true except for the automatics. A real race car has a manual transmission.
@@johnmayo5358 if you want lap times auto is the way to go
I love how you have elements that tie in with previous episodes. It makes it very rewarding for those who watch every episode.
The editing decision to not see but hear the car at the beginning was brilliant! Add to that your reactions to the sound of the engine (especially James's baby owl cries of joy 😂) and Thomas being near tears of joy highlight was an amazing car this is. And by the way, congrats to you all on surpassing the 2M subscriber mark! It's very well deserved. Onward to 3 million and beyond!!!
Just a bunch of absolute legends together, oh and the car is pretty epic too.
That intro made me grin so hard!
@@prinsiwo same here, with an even bigger grin at the ending outtake.
MAN, the best part of this video is to see how far you guys have come. I remember DM'ing you way back in the day when you were still doing track tutorials in your E46. How 5 years flew by, so proud to see you guys playing around with Chris, flying in a GT4RS.
The way this is shot, cut and overall produced is world class level and on par with The Grand Tour and stuff like that. Props to your team.
I was so happy and surprised by that intro!! And this absolutely exciting video about one of the very Porsche to ever exists... You guys are just killing it so badly. Thank you for this amazing video once again!! Oh and cheers to Chris Harris!!
The intro gave me chills the sound of the car going around the track. You guys are absolute artists with the new production quality on all of your videos. Keep it up!!
"How many Porsche's do you own? Zero, but how many do you own? Shut up! " I felt that.
Amazing to see you guys making your way to the top. Your production quality is out of this world, and you could probably become the new top gear someday.
Just when one thinks your channel can't get any better... you have the legend that is Chris Harris. Bravo guys. Love your work and these collaborations are pretty awesome. Thanks for all the great content!
The sound is GLORIOUS! Whomever came up with the idea of putting the intake IN the cabin is a GENIUS!
I am in love with this.
I think they had to for packaging reasons, but that doesn’t take away from the fact that its awesome
every time I think I can no longer be surprised by you guys.... you do it again!!! I love the work and effort you put into the these videos and the pride of product always shines through. thank you!!!
I've watched 4 reviews of this car because so many YT automotive journalists are too damn good at their jobs! Great stuff, guys. Loved the comeback from Chris at the end.
Man I still open up this video every few months just to hear that engine note. Thomas and James have captured how Porsche can take noise and make it into music
That car sounds amazing Yes, design wise the porshes don’t change much compared to its rivals but you can’t argue it’s efficiency on track or road And it does look fantastic
Yeah Porche's look like Porche's but so do Lambo's and BMW's and Benzes also have a familiar look.
But then again why change something that already looks good. Could you imagine if M3's today could just look like modernized E46's? or E30's? Or how grand would it look if Mercedes benz still had some of the design language of the 600's.
Yes it's expensive, twice as expensive as some cars that you mentioned. However, can't you imagine this being auctioned off for silly sums of money in maybe even less than 10 years? It's brand new and it's already a classic.
Or until Porsche releases gt4 RS+ or gt4 R and all of sudden everyone will be going gaga over that.
@@retrograde11 and this thing will still sell at 2x in 10 years
@@jeffmoore3804 Probably. But you can get better return in stock market which averages 10% per year. So you'll double your investment in only 7 years without the expense of having to maintain the the gt4rs.
@@retrograde11 but then you don’t have a gt4rs, or any other car of similar worth, it’s all a balance with what people want
@@BurgoYT yeah, it's a balancing act. But I'm still of opinion that for majority of the owners, the car will be nothing more but a garage queen. Due to the potential appreciation factor becoming an investment and not a pleasure to enjoy. Hence nothing more but a bragging right.
Among auto journalists Thomas, Chris Harris and Steve Sutcliffe have this ability to communicate the driving experience like few others can, while James is the perfect guy to keep everything balanced and entertaining for regular guys like me. Great to see this collab. Hope more comes out of it.
The throttle house team is by far the best on KZhead! Amazing content with insane quality of production, chemistry and writing. The fact that you can make Chris Harris a small side plot says enough!
Thomas and James, I bet you already know this, but your car reviews are the best out there, by far. Also, the clips, point of view, scenes, angles, chats, everything used on each video is fantastic, and I always look for the 'Intro', hell yeah, the intro gives that extra mile on the review. Thanks, guys!
How can you not like Chris harris 😂 God The man ‘saved’ top gear on his own
I was literally just thinking yesterday that you guys are on the same level as the old Top Gear. The Grand Tour is awesome but no show quite filled the gap that was left after Clarkson, May and Hammond left Top Gear. Well I’m happy to say that you guys are doing it and I think there’s a very bright future for the both of you!
I am so FREAKING HAPPY they are working with Chris's Harris!!! Such a talented journalist and driver! Hats off to you throttle house, you guys never fail to amaze. Thank you :)
Love the intro, the production quality is amazing as always. Keep up the good work guys! 🔥
Porsche killing it in the sports car segment hands down, the intro was awesome with Chris
Porsche basically only does sport cars so no surprise lol…… Mercedes makes everything from vans to trucks, commercial vehicles, armoured vehicles, hatchback, f1 cars……
@@alanmay7929 ahem Cayenne, Macan, Taycan, Panamera. They’re their best selling models
@@min-hokim1614 are those vans or minivans or trucks!? Lol……. They are just other Porsches
@@alanmay7929 yes they indeed are not vans or trucks, I was trying to correct you because you said they now make basically only sportscars which the aforementioned ones are not really. Porsche also came up with a concept van so if they put it into production then they have a van aswell
@@min-hokim1614 yes those vehicles are still sporty and it’s the only thing that Porsche does.
Literally the best car review channel out there!! Proud this stuff is coming from 🇨🇦!! Big respect
I LOVE THIS CHANNEL BRO MY GOD i have seen all of your videos over 10 times cuz its my comfort content, if i feel sad i just watch your videos and i feel good, please never stop
That opening with the “little brown man”. Had to pick up my phone quickly😂. The MVP himself. Love your videos guys
This intro is pretty good. I think it might be one of my favorites
Guys, you just keep raising your game. Just superb and my absolute fave car youtubers nowadays. Having Chris on was the cherry on the top!
I'm tears!!! That intro! With Chris Harris an absolute legend of the automotive world!
12 seconds in and I'm in stitches... quality... keep up the good work guys
Awesome to have Chris Harris in there. Love the video! Keep up the good work. You 2 are very entertaining.
😀
You guys are blowing me away with your collaborations. Love seeing some fellow Canadians make good!
You guys have done collaborations with all of my favorite KZhead people; Chris Harris, Jason Camisa, and Engineering Explained. At this point I would watch stuff by anyone you decided to do a collab with.
Don't forget Randy Pobst
@@TeslaP3D thank you
which video is EE
Also Donut Media and RCR
Gotta check out Paul and Todd from Everyday Driver and Test Drive(same guys) they are good friends with TH too. They also have a weekly podcast closing in on 800 podcast shows btw.
"With great engine and performance come great price" ...words to live by
Best car videos on KZhead guys. Keep up the hardwork. You 3 together would make top gear great again. Hope someone from the BBC is reading and can make this happen!
I'm late to the game, and I know you've heard it before, but your intro's are some of the best content on KZhead right now. Honestly laugh-out-loud funny! Please keep it up.
Finally, this is probably my favorite Porsche, glad you guys reviewed it 🤘🏻‼️
Cayman Engine sounds +100 years ahead of all other engines it sounds futuristic or something, I can't describe what's so great about the sound, it sounds very artistic, beautiful and pure.
it sounds like there’s 2 engine notes at once
Nope it just sounds different lol…
An engine sitting behind you with carbon fiber air ducts pumping right into the intake that sits behind your head, will do that...
It’s the purity in the sound. So clean
@@michaelbusch5610 You can hear intake and exhaust,something that is missing from a lot of newer cars.Even the exhaust is artificially mangled with.
When I saw Chris Harris my brain did a double take and was like "HOLD ALL THE WAY UP"
Brilliant, again! As an owner of a tuned 718 Cayman S that I feel is already rocket ship like and handles so well, NA/turbo differences aside, I just can't imagine what this GT4RS drives like. As others have said, Porsche created an new classic.
Great video. Kudos Chris Harris; having recently sustained a sprained clutch ankle, the feeling of broke foot driving hits home. Cheers from Charlotte, NC.
Hey James and Thomas. Great review again. Question, have you ever thought about mounting and 360 cam so where close to the ceiling of the vehicle as you guys jump in the car and do individual rides or interior review portion?
So happy this collaboration finally happened!Great job as always guys.. man the noise is almost LFA level... those induction noises are so intoxicating 🤤
No where near a LFA
@@carelrossouw7838 Nah, it's better than a LFA
@@carelrossouw7838 LFA Fanboy spotted. This is way better than it. I Mean 4.0 Compared to 4.7 and it's got 4 less cylinders, yet revs to 9000 RPM. That's a better engine now.
Unbelievable
The basic days n ages where a cheap cameo is labelled a ''collaboration''. Lol ''busiNesS''. ClicKs!1
I had goosebumps just watching you guys having fun on that track....thank you
Awsome to see Chris Harris in your video!! Thanks for another awsome video
Just hearing this car on my phone sounds sooooo good, I can just imagine what it sounds like in reality
This is such a beautiful car, wow! In this colors it's just amazing. The 9000 rpm is even tangible watching this vid on my mobile phone. And as always, the production of this channel is fantastic. Thnx guys!
I am watching your videos on auto-play. Not because I intend to buy these, but because your reviews are so fun and entertaining to watch. Kudos to you guys!
You know you've done something special when Chris Harris agrees to be your camera man. Great cameo, fellas, and keep up the good work!
That Chris Harris guy really improved his videography skills when he had to! You guys have some legendary guests, you need a podcast where you talk to them
Love to see this channel blowing up! You guys deserve it. Getting some big names for cameos. I won't be surprised to see Clarkson/Hammond/May pop up one of these days. On a side note: this is why so many of us hate seeing the demise of ICE cars. No electric drivetrain nor speaker can replicate the visceral noise of a thoroughbred combustion engine. Enjoy 'em while you can.
Haven't realized they are already close to 2m! When did that happen?!
Lots of fingers crossed that Porsche's eFuel saves the ICE cars.
Man, I am watching this now honestly for about the 30st time...Love it, this here is epic! Thanks again!
Wow amazing job guys. These edits are truly epic as well
I say it with confidence. throttle house is the next top gear!!!
@Ouchwitz Summer Camp LLC to even put Doug in that sentence was ridiculous, throttle house and the straight pipes do completely different reviews than Doug does
Love the new camera man. Great to see you giving work to up and coming car journalists
Best collaboration ever!! My jaw dropped when I saw Chris in the intro. So funny so good!!
Great review as always 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 Hi Chris, so surprised to see you in the review!!
at 3:45 with subtitles it says music even KZhead know this thing sounds heavenly
Your intros can never disappoint. Wonder where you found Chris. 😂
After that intro, I was just happy you both got to drive this. You look like you had fun!
This is awesome! Happy to see you guys hit mainstream. Keep up the great work
It's a shame that 99.9 percent of us will never be able to afford one of those beautiful cars, can only enjoy car through KZhead. 😭
something an EV will never be able to replicate is the sound and experiences of driving something like that
Awesome collab! Haha and great footage as always guys. Keep it up. Thanks
Every other channel I subscribe to has flooded my notifications bar with their freshly 'unembargoed' videos of the Aston Martin DBX 707......... thank fug we have you boys sandwiching this wonderful little gem in to the middle of them all, so I can bloody well ignore the 738 droning videos on yet ANOTHER 'Super SUV', and watch a quality video of a PROPER drivers car instead! Superb lads, superb!!
It will be cool to see comparisons done between this GT4RS and the upcoming Corvette C8 Z06/Z07. Both are normally aspirated track weapons.
That is like comparing Champange to hard seltzer. Both have alcohol in it and both are sparkling. 🤦♂️
Only one of the greatest automotive journalists; Chris Harris just casually has a cameo on TH! 🔥🔥🔥👌
Good God, that engine sound is straight ASMR. Well done, Porsche, and well done TH!
totally awesome that you guys got Chris Harris on this....... he would have been super jealous that you got to drive that gt4 RS....... get better soon Chris.....
I love the Cayman, and I absolutely adore the GT4 (and the RS) and I always say that due to the mid engined layout of the Cayman Is dynamically better………. But I still want a 911, even if the 911 is inherently flawed with the engine hanging out the arse.
GT3 will be easier to get then the GT4 RS. I am trying to get a GT3 but if they made an RS with a six speed I would love to "try" to get one. I have a Cayman S and I love the mid engine layout.
What a beautiful sound in a perfect car. I just couldn't do without a manual in something so engaging and experience-driven. I get the PDK of course because it's a laptime monster, but where I live, all the damn racetracks are closing, which means I'd need to take it elsewhere to drive it to its potential as opposed to be stuck with 2 gears (or 1 with the regular manual GT4...). Sometimes I wish a smaller lighter 2.0L H6 (half scaled 4.0L GT4RS) existed in a lighter car to be able to wring it out on the streets in legality, maybe go through 3 full gears with that in-cabin orchestra. lol
the production of these videos is top tier!! Keep it up.
The enthusiasm is contagious. This video made my day.
Great crossover guys! To me this is what the 911 should have been. What an awesome machine!
I get it but this is no where near the gt2rs
Having Chris on the intro is the only "crossover" I'm willing to like.
Thank you very much! Liked, subscribed and shared. My absolute favorite KZhead channel by far.
Closing in on 2 million subs! Content like this is the reason why. Keep it up guys. Awesome!
*This might be the only Porsche I've seen and actually thought wow I think I'd want that*
Porsche always had the best sounding Engine ever it sounds like a finely tuned Engine, I can't even describe it but it sounds like no other car.
It surely does sound great, and also is very distinctive. And, yes sound is a matter of taste. But the sound of a V12 Ferrari, a 812 Competizione for example, sounds just so much better. Especially in the low RPM range, but also at 9000 rpm.
@@CAR_NL Agreed. They sound great, but can't compare to a well tuned V8/10/12.
@@CAR_NL yeah Distinctive was the word I was looking for, there are cars that I think have better and more dramatic sounds but there's just something about this Cayman sound, I think its more unique
that Chris Harris intro was gold LOL. awesome video as always guys 👌🏼
Thank you men. You are the best Canadian reviewers. Cheers Hosers.
Wow, someone took the Andy Wilman cinematography course to heart and has pulled it off brilliantly, well done gents!! It suits, wear it!
I really am looking forward to seeing the response to the C8 Corvette Z06. More power and High revving V8. And a track day special you can drive daily. It's posed to really make a explosion probably bigger than the Stingray did
Sadly GM has recently killed the Z06 (yes the C8 Z06)...
@@machoenicke2778 lies
@@machoenicke2778 no they didn’t lol you saw the April fools joke
Your videos are such fun! I'm sitting here grinning with you... thank you!
Oh my gosh, that intro was amazing! I love Chris Harris and you guys too! Chris hope your foot feels better soon!
Porsche was not really my favourite. But when I saw the review of it on Doug DeMuro's channel, I was just blown away. This is now my all time favourite sports car.
am I crazy to say that this is the best sounding car made since the LFA?
In terms of interior sound, yes. Exhaust sound? No, not in my opinion. It is up there with other stock exhausts but a Novitec exhaust on any V12 Ferrari is godly.
This sounds glorious but not better than an F12 or an SVJ with F1 exhausts.
@@prestonkelly9156 I’m talking about stock cars
SVJ, F12, 812, Carrera GT, 458 speciale......the list goes on
@@kristians2704 bro, they still sound better, no one is denying how glorious that flat 6 N/A 4.0L engine sounds but there are alot of cars that sound better.
Mechanical work of art... That's the frase that's describe this car you're right,because they were ingeneurs that design it, thanks guys. Greatings from Portugal.
Thomas and James you guys rock. Love your content you are my fav Canadians. Sending love from Aotearoa
