We review the 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 to help and describe the technical design and what makes this car special. There are very few driver's cars on the market that offer an edgy rewarding experience. While other cars may be faster in a straight line or provide more theater, we describe what it brings to the table.

    The holes in the break disk have two purposes: cooling and better breaking in wet conditions. Water on the hot break disk turns into steam an this holes enable the steam to lead away. The guys at Porsche are since decades in Motorsport and knew exactly what they do. Even the CEO of Porsche has race license and a phd in engeneering.

    Another 2 things I really like about this channel: 1. The (increasingly, and delightfully, common) track runs with appropriate vehicles 2. Does any other auto review channel (a) put cars on an actual lift, and (b) talk comprehensively about engine, transmission, and chassis in a way laypeople can understand? A wonderful balance of entertainment, education, and critique
  • @MasterMalrubius
    It's amazing how Jack has become so much more comfortable in front of the camera. I remember when he used to look and sound so nervous. Creating content like a pro!
  • @pduffy83usa
    Can't wait for you all to drive the GT4 RS!!!
  • @TedwardDrives
    I'm glad you mentioned the GT4 feels sharper than the Spyder. It's not a massive difference but its noticeable. I was not expecting them to feel different given they are nearly identical. Great video guys!
  • @StereoHound
    Savagegeese at this point probably has the most comprehensive coverage of Porsche models and trims than anyone else. I remember just a couple of years ago Mark was not too crazy about the brand. Maybe he has warmed up to it by now 🤓.
  • @gadeane287
    Congratulations Mark and Jack. You managed to produce 20 minutes of pure joy.

    Driving the new Porsche GT4 at the Autobahn track. Very appropriate.
  • It warms my heart when I see a true analog gauge cluster and the infotainment down in the center stack, rather than on the dash.
  • @CarStory
    I saw someone take delivery of this car last month at my local Porsche dealer. Now I know why he was so happy. His wife didn't look as enthusiastic but maybe her mind was changed on the way home in this amazing machine.
  • @basithph8958
    The GT4 is definitely hands down one of the best new cars to get on the market A modern car that still captures what makes the driving experience
  • @jaychu3850
    These guys are pure car nerds and I love them! So knowledgeable and reviews unlike the rest …they actually know cars.
  • @mayamanign
    Porsche is the manufacturer who most take what they learn in the crucible of development (racing) and apply it to their consumer products. The kings of LeMans.

    I’m one of the owners of this car. I noticed and felt exactly same things as you guys ,but please listen as it can be fixed easily; - adjust front and rear sway bars to full (soft) settings, it took me about 20 minutes on my 1st try, adjustments were there by Porsche to switch the ride to more street manner n it did for me (felt 20% easily smoother from switching the Rear hard - Front mid ex setting) + its in the owners manual but arguably explained differently. - engine noise: though you didn’t mention the factory force closing of exhaust valves untill 4k+ reached (even though you pressed a button to let it be open all the time from 0 rpm) you could buy a hack to force and bypass the factory to either switching to on- off - auto, plus you could buy an overaxle pipes it will bring back the lively engine characteristics like the prior gen + you wouldn’t void warrenty. Overall one of the greatest sweet spot of GT cars this era period. For the gear ratios on the manual you will actually be more grateful that its tall on the street as i did because you don’t need a big power and its more compliant than a small ratio. (did own an evo 8 and an s2k) this is heaven when we compare gears lol

    My home track and my car! Now we just need the GT3 video!
  • @osmiumtank
    I've awarded the 2021 Nobel Prize Oscar in Auto Review Cinematography to Savage Geese. Congrats fellas.
  • @MaxSpeedMike
    Very happy Porsche is still making Driver's cars. They're so damn good at it!
  • @brtnspn
    Call it a PRODUCT one more time, I dare you. To say something positive, I always appreciate the manufacturer's technical document pages you let us see, not something others appear to be doing. So thanks for that.
  • @Maximum_777
    Idk exactly why but every time I watch a review I find them so damn funny, something about how you guys throw the cars around comedically on the street, then seriously on the track while just laughing is so great.
  • @glynnnewby4664
    The value here is immense: through the docu-reviews you've created, we get to experience the vehicles you've tested and make more informed buying decisions when we get to the Shoppe. Thanks as always. You two set the bar.
