I just wish reviewers would STOP talking about GT Porsche prices and buying one-because you cant buy one! If you do manage to get your hands on one a long time you will pay double the retail price. I walked into my dealer today to buy one-and guess what? Dealer says we might possibly get just one car and that will go to someone on the special list. So please do your review on the car and stop misleading your followers that this car is something anyone can buy. Just frustrates me when we listen to the same old rubbish about nonsensical prices and buying one.

'Crackpot' conspiracy theory? 911 finally gets real racecar level double-wishbone front suspension, and the Cayman finally gets a real GT3 engine, but is (of course) still relegated to strut suspension. well, who would've thunk that?
Just admit it. Porsche will NEVER let the Cayman compete squarely with the 911.
And for all you Cayman lovers, kiss this baby goodbye, because this is the first and last proper ICE Cayman that Porsche will ever produce.

Review is stitched together with Porsche provided footage (and lame exterior exhaust sounds) and a few Autocar shots. A real budget review compared with Henry Catchpoles or the others. Why does the reviewer say the GR4RS is not as quick as the GT3 when Porsche themselves say the two cars have EXACTLY the same 0-100 kmph and quarter miles times, and the GT4RS is a FULL second quicker 0-200 kmph?

Such a great car! I do however wonder why they still combine some kind of plastic (or alloy) with carbon, instead of full carbon, such as the bonnet (naca duct) and rear end (diffuser )and wing (endplates), .. Or is there a full carbon option for all of them? Not that it matters much on the overall looks, but from a weight reduction aspect I do wonder why.

Great review. Did you notice an improvement in steering feel in the yellow car with magnesium wheels vs the gray car with aluminum wheels. Also, for fun driving on a twisty mountain road which would you prefer: a GT4RS with PCCB and magnesium wheels, or a 992 GTS with light weight package, PCCB, and 5 lug aluminum wheels?

There was no conspiracy about the Cayman. They-ve made it better than a 911. That should be obvious. If it had wider tires and a double wishbone front suspension and equal downforce as the current GT3 the Cayman GT4 RA it would be the quicker car on a race course.

-You've got to be worthy of it- said Saunders. Sadly he is not judging by his lack of car control, missed apex and incorrectly timed gear changes even with the aid of PDK. Please Autocar, if you are going to review an RS professionally, use a competent reviewer.

Oh, and 'Magnesium Roll Cage'. ummmm, no thanks. But, it sure gave me a good laugh. Pretty sure that Porsche is not in the business of killing its customers, even if they want to pay the extra money. 100% certain that Matt meant to say 'titanium. '

You do realize that none of these models are relevant for future models/sales? Everything is going electric so all models are up for grabs. Bye bye 911, 718, etc.
