00:00Vous regardez Throttle House, je suis Thomas.
00:02Et je suis James.
00:03Et c'est de nouveau hors de focus.
00:05Qu'est-ce qu'il fait ?
00:06Il a juste bougé.
00:07Qu'est-ce que tu fais ? C'est hors de focus ?
00:09Oui, c'est ça.
00:10J'essaie de le manueliser.
00:11Je m'en fiche.
00:12Ou est-ce que c'est autofocus ?
00:13Oui, c'est ça. Tu es là pour un seul boulot.
00:14Oui, mais je ne peux pas conduire parce que j'ai brisé mon pied.
00:16Mais je fais du multitasking.
00:18Très bien. Je m'en fiche.
00:19Tu n'es pas là pour conduire. Tu devrais être heureux pour le travail.
00:22J'essaie mon mieux.
00:23Écoute, j'étais là où tu étais.
00:26Je collectais des voitures.
00:27Au marché.
00:28J'espère que ça ira bien un jour.
00:30Oui, d'accord.
00:31Dans les autres jeux vidéo, ce que tu veux faire, je m'en fiche.
00:34Ok, j'essaie.
00:35C'est important.
00:36Je sais, je sais.
00:37Non, il continue.
00:38Je sais.
00:39Dernière chance.
00:40Je ne sais pas où tu l'as trouvé.
00:41C'est la dernière fois que j'utilise Craigslist.
00:53C'est la dernière fois que je l'utilise.
01:24Et c'est James, probablement en criant et en faisant des bruits drôles.
01:32Et ça, c'est le GT4 RS.
01:43RS, qui signifie Rennsport,
01:46qui transforme le 718 GT4 en GT4 RS.
01:51Il transforme le 718 GT4 en arme de l'ordre de la voie dérivée de moteur de course.
01:56Ce qui, par ailleurs, déjà existait sans le RS.
01:59Mais l'équipe de Porsche GT l'a amélioré.
02:02Elle l'a modifié.
02:04Elle l'a transformé.
02:05Elle l'a transformé en un moteur familier qui est déjà une légende.
02:09Et avec un peu d'ingénierie intelligente,
02:11elle l'a optimisé pour notre plaisir aural.
02:14Je ne pense pas que tu peux dire ça sur YouTube.
02:16Non.
02:17Peux-tu?
02:18Non, James.
02:20Ah, oui, oui, ça sent bien.
02:22En tout cas, avec un bon moteur et une bonne performance,
02:25et la liste d'options de la Porsche,
02:27vient un bon prix.
02:29Le GT4 RS commence à 166 000 $ canadiens.
02:34Mettez-en le paquet Weissach,
02:36et même une specification personnalisée
02:39t'amène bien dans les 200 000 $.
02:42C'est de l'argent de la GT3,
02:45et un prix bien équipé.
02:47Est-ce qu'elle a le droit de coûter autant?
02:51Voyons voir.
02:56Si vous êtes nul à nous suivre,
02:58nous faisons des revues de voitures,
03:00des tests de route,
03:01et beaucoup de bêtises.
03:03Alors abonnez-vous,
03:04et appuyez sur la cloche.
03:10All right, GT4 RS.
03:13Like the GT4.
03:15Except now,
03:16we have the GT3 engine.
03:19Which means,
03:20not only do we get more power
03:23and more torque,
03:25we're also gifted
03:27with something quite special.
03:29And that's the red line.
03:34Whilst a normal GT4
03:37can rev to 8,000 rpm,
03:40the GT4 RS
03:42can rev to 9,000 rpm.
03:45And it does!
03:53Wow.
03:54Wow.
03:57It does 3.5 seconds to 60.
03:59Big whoop.
04:00The speed
04:01doesn't interest me nearly as much as the sound.
04:04And yeah,
04:08I'm sure that sounds good.
04:10I'm sure that sounds good from the outside.
04:13But that's not where the experience of this car is.
04:19Since this is the GT3 engine,
04:22this air intake,
04:23which you and I are so used to seeing on a Cayman,
04:25isn't enough.
04:26So they've added this air intake,
04:28which happens to be covered in carbon fiber reinforced plastic,
04:31because this is the Weissach package.
04:33We'll talk about that more in a minute.
04:35But that feeds air into the air box,
04:37which is right inside the cabin.
04:41And that means that the sound
04:44is in the cabin as well.
04:50Listen!
04:56That last few thousand rpm is just sex.
04:59I mean,
05:00there's no partition,
05:02there's no glass,
05:03there's no blanket over the air box.
05:06It is right in there with me,
05:08right behind my ear.
05:11So I can go through all seven gears
05:14and just hear it wailing.
05:17It sounds
05:20so mechanical.
05:30This thing turns me into a baby owl.
05:41I've either really hurt my knee
05:43or I'm a baby owl,
05:44because I don't know what that sound is.
05:47But for some reason,
05:48that's the thing that this car listens.
05:51And different to the normal GT4,
05:55the PDK in this addresses one of our only concerns.
06:00It has shorter gearing,
06:02which means I can experience at least two gears
06:05before I'm hitting the speed limit.
06:07Top of second gear feels like it's about 70 miles an hour,
06:10which is still quick.
06:12And yet,
06:13I don't actually feel the need to use the paddles.
06:16This PDK is so good at knowing what I want to do.
06:23That top of fourth gear on the straight
06:26is
06:29so brilliant.
06:31This is a Cayman.
06:32This is a Cayman making these sounds.
06:36It's a religious experience.
06:44This is proof that Santa exists.
06:46It's like Christmas morning.
06:48It doesn't matter if it's Christmas morning,
06:50or if it's Halloween,
06:51or if it's Easter,
06:52you're not going to be able to get one
06:54because of dealer markups,
06:55allocation problems,
06:56the whole thing.
06:57You have to be a VIP.
06:58How many Porsches do you own?
07:01Zero, but how many do you own?
07:03Shut up.
07:20All right, maybe you can buy one,
07:22maybe you can't.
07:23I don't know.
07:25All I know is that
07:27this is one of the most sensational cars
07:33I've driven on a racetrack.
07:37My good God.
07:40It's just...
07:43It's just a work of art,
07:44but you know what?
07:46It's a mechanical work of art,
07:49as is the whole car.
07:52The nature of this thing is so serious.
07:58Okay, so this has the Y-stock package
07:59with those really crazy extra ultra lightweight wheels,
08:02and I have driven the non-Y-stock package,
08:06and the difference is honestly noticeable.
08:09It really is.
08:10The steering is lighter in this,
08:15but the front end,
08:16you know, obviously it's mid-engine,
08:18so it's so delicate.
08:21And if I'm being honest,
08:22I'm getting quite a lot of understeer,
08:24but you know what?
08:25That doesn't matter,
08:26because A, I'm getting so much communication
08:29that I can fix it using steering
08:31or throttle inputs,
08:33and it is a real, real track car,
08:37which means that the alignment
08:39is completely adjustable.
08:40Camber, caster, tow, whatever you want.
08:43The ride height is adjustable.
08:46Everything can be tweaked.
08:48This is honestly
08:52a lovely car to drive.
08:54But my biggest concern,
08:55and it's always my biggest concern
08:58when it comes to Porsches,
09:01are they a little bit too serious
09:05to your liking?
09:14Oh, it'll have a bit of fun.
09:15It'll have a bit of fun.
09:18On the throttle, the rear goes.
09:20I can use the throttle to rotate the car,
09:23or I can use the engine to rotate the car.
09:27The choice is yours.
09:30Down the hill, up and apart,
09:32100 miles an hour,
09:33flat on the throttle.
09:36120, 130, 140.
09:43OK.
09:44Have a good time?
09:46No.
09:47I hate being out here with RS Porsches
09:49on an open racetrack in California.
09:51It's my least favorite thing.
09:52The Porsche has turned you serious.
09:54Yeah, I'm generally a very silly guy,
09:57but if I get serious,
09:58it's for RS Porsches,
09:59because that's what they are.
10:00It is very serious,
10:01because, OK, we can agree
10:02that it looks crazy, right?
10:04It's got the swan-neck wing,
10:06and it's got these, like,
10:08air intakes everywhere,
10:09the NACA ducts in the hood.
10:11Lots of aero going on.
10:12None of these things, though,
10:13are here because
10:15they wanted to make it look cool.
10:17It just had to be there.
10:18It had to be there.
10:19It needed the downforce.
10:20For downforce, for cooling.
10:21Yeah.
10:22Right?
10:23So the things that distinguish
10:24the GT4 from a normal Cayman
10:25are things like the side intakes
10:29come out a bit,
10:30and there's a spoiler,
10:31and then there's this kind of vent here.
10:32And that's basically all you get
10:33on the GT4.
10:34Maybe a lower ride height as well.
10:35Right.
10:36So not only do we now have
10:37front axle lift,
10:38which is the thing you can't see,
10:39which is a must.
10:40It's absolutely imperative.
10:41We now get carbon fiber
10:42reinforced plastic everywhere.
10:44So this hood,
10:45it's currently visible carbon fiber
10:48because of the Weissach package,
10:49but I can't say Weissach
10:52because the Germans say Weissach.
10:54Because I was saying Weissachi.
10:55Weissachi.
10:56Yeah, that's not it.
10:57Yeah.
10:58I wasn't saying it.
10:59It's visible because of that,
11:00but this would also be carbon fiber.
11:02The wing mirrors are carbon fiber.
11:03Yes.
11:04Bunch of carbon fiber going on.
11:05Okay, wheels.
11:06Now, okay, so this is the Weissach package.
11:08If you want the magnesium wheels...
11:11Yes, you have to have optioned
11:12the Weissach package.
11:14And how much are they?
11:15They're cheap.
11:16It was like 50 bucks a wheel?
11:17Yeah.
11:18Yeah.
11:19So it's 15,000, I think.
11:20Oh, 15,000.
11:21No, no, for the Weissach package.
11:23Oh, okay.
11:24Weissach.
11:25And then the wheels on top of that,
11:26they come with the Weissach package.
11:27No, you have to get the Weissach package
11:28if you want the magnesium wheels,
11:30which is where a lot of the weight savings is
11:32against a normal GT4.
11:33Yeah.
11:34And they are 17,800 and something dollars.
11:37That's a steal.
11:38Yeah.
11:39So altogether, you're paying about 40 grams
11:42or almost 40 grams more for both the things.
11:44But you save some pounds.
11:45You save some pounds.
11:47You also save pounds
11:48by getting the carbon fiber bucket seats and...
11:51Yes, the bucket seats save some weight.
11:53Interestingly, though, this isn't that...
11:56It's not that different in weight to the normal GT4.
11:59No, because weight has been added.
12:02Yes.
12:03Because of RS parts and engine and...
12:05Yes.
12:06So basically, you're trading the extra performance
12:09from the downforce and the cooling
12:11for a little bit of weight, right?
12:13You are, but like, look, that's a sticker.
12:16That's a sticker.
12:17I think it's actually a decal.
12:19Same thing.
12:20What's the difference?
12:21I don't understand.
12:22All cats are animals, but not all animals are cats.
12:26Yes.
12:27Yes.
12:28But yeah, I think it looks monstrous.
12:30No, it looks amazing.
12:31I think I would be compelled,
12:33if I was specking this out,
12:34that's just me,
12:35to go for the Weissach package,
12:36to go for the full...
12:37Well, yeah, because this is the ultimate-est
12:40of all Caymans ever made.
12:43And that's like getting 99% of the way
12:46to the top of the mountain and going,
12:48nah.
12:49Right?
12:51Unless it affects your ability
12:52to get an allocation,
12:53or like, we can't get you it.
12:54Yeah, exactly.
12:55If you can get one that isn't,
12:56then yeah, do it.
12:57No, I think it looks fantastic.
12:59I've always loved the shape of the Cayman
13:01over the 911.
13:03That's actually not a very controversial opinion.
13:05You're going to have quite a few people
13:06in your camp.
13:07Really?
13:08Okay, well, good.
13:09I like the look of this.
13:10I've always loved the styling of the Cayman.
13:12I think that even though it is styled
13:15by engineering,
13:18it works perfectly in this car.
13:20I think it just looks absolutely badass.
13:22Look at the inside?
13:23Yeah.
13:24Okay.
13:25Ooh, carbon buckets.
13:26They're actually quite comfortable.
13:28So these are standard for this car.
13:30That's the difference.
13:31That's right.
13:32You have to option them in a GT4.
13:33Whereas for this,
13:34you can option 18 ways for no cost.
13:36Right.
13:37If you want to be more comfortable,
13:38which I think is a weird decision for this.
13:39Maybe.
13:40I don't know.
13:41No, no, you're right.
13:42No, it is.
13:43We can make that call.
13:44This is a track car.
13:45Yes.
13:46These make sense, these seats.
13:47Roll bar.
13:48Roll bar?
13:49Yeah.
13:50Do you like the roll bar?
13:51I do very much.
13:52I believe you can't get that.
13:53I think it's a European thing.
13:54Oh.
13:55See, I can't 100% confirm that,
13:56which is a shame because,
13:57I mean, it's nice to have.
13:58It's nice.
13:59It's not as cool
14:00as that air box right there, though.
14:01It is.
14:02It's so neat looking at it.
14:03I can see the carbon fiber
14:04coming in from the outsides.
14:05Great if you don't want
14:06to have a conversation
14:07with your passenger.
14:08Yeah, exactly.
14:09Yeah.
14:10And then the other big difference in here,
14:11there's race text going on.
14:12I think you can option that on the GT4,
14:13but even if you can't,
14:14this is race text,
14:16Oh, that's special.
14:17And this,
14:18even though it looks
14:19like a manual shifter,
14:20It's from a GT3.
14:21Yeah, it's pretending
14:22to be something else.
14:23A bit like that cameraman
14:24this morning
14:25that I had to deal with.
14:26Oh, yeah.
14:27What was his name?
14:28It was like,
14:29it was something British.
14:30Something English, yeah.
14:31Malcolm?
14:32Neville.
14:33No.
14:34Jeremy?
14:35Chris?
14:36Chris.
14:37Yeah, Chris.
14:38Chris.
14:39Chris Harris.
14:40Chris Harris.
14:41Oh, that name rings a bell.
14:42Oh, right.
14:43Yeah, I think we hired him
14:44to do our car's
14:45venture.
14:46Now,
14:47this is very much
14:48just the same
14:49as the regular GT4.
14:50Except,
14:52it says RS in there.
14:53And it says Weissach here.
14:54You can't get a Weissach GT4.
14:56I feel like you're now
14:57starting to have fun
14:58saying that.
15:02I'll Weissach you in the balls
15:03if you don't do it.
15:06Yeah, there's a lot.
15:07We've got a Weissach here.
15:08Yep.
15:09Got the fabric door pulls.
15:10That's super cool.
15:11That's normal on the GT4.
15:12Yeah, got to have it.
15:13This is really nicely spec'd.
15:14We've got the blue inserts
15:15on the seats here.
15:16The blue here,
15:17and it matches
15:18the magnesium wheels
15:19which you've spent
15:20$17,000, $18,000 on.
15:21No, this is a nice spec.
15:22I really like this.
15:23And my favorite part
15:24always has been
15:25about the Cayman
15:26is that the steering wheel
15:27is a steering wheel.
15:28On the GT4.
15:29Yeah, sorry,
15:30the GT4 specifically.
15:31Yeah, so Thomas and I
15:32did an extra-throttle
15:33house video recently
15:34where we designed
15:35our perfect sports car.
15:36And we chose
15:37different components
15:38from different cars.
15:39And the steering wheel
15:40was from the GT4s.
15:41This one.
15:42Yeah, this is
15:43of all steering wheels
15:44I think on the market
15:45right now,
15:46this is the choice.
15:47But of all sports cars
15:48on the market right now,
15:49this is the choice.
15:50This is the choice.
15:51I don't know.
15:52I don't know.
15:53Should we do a conclusion?
15:54Yeah.
15:55Okay.
15:57Spend half the money
15:59of the GT4 RS
16:00and you can get
16:01amazing cars
16:02that take life
16:03less seriously.
16:04And you could probably
16:05get into something
16:06that's almost as quick
16:07around the Nurburgring too.
16:09But if what you're looking for
16:11is the final word
16:13in German precision,
16:15then as much as we hate
16:16to admit it,
16:17Porsche are right.
16:19There is no substitute.
16:22So, is the GT4 RS
16:24a cut-price GT3?
16:26No, it's not even cut price.
16:28With the goodies,
16:29it's the same price.
16:30But to be fair to it,
16:31it's its own car.
16:33From its smaller proportions
16:34to its mid-engine
16:35driving dynamics,
16:36it exists in its own space.
16:38And no question,
16:39this is a Cayman
16:40in its ultimate form.
16:42The in-cabin sound alone
16:45graduates the GT4 RS
16:47into the realms
16:48of Porsche legend.
16:50And those hallowed halls
16:52are not easily entered.
16:54Thanks for watching.
