Porsche Cayman GT4 vs BMW M4 vs BMW i8 vs Lexus RC F drag race

**The Great Four-Way Sports Car Drag Race**

Welcome to GT happy set up, where the excitement is about to begin! We have four incredible sports cars lined up for this thrilling drag race: a BMW M4 Alexus RCF, a Cayman GT4, and a surprise package - possibly a BMW I8. Each car boasts unique characteristics that will make their performance on the track anything but predictable.

As we get ready to roll out, camera crews are in position, and walkie-talkies crackle with excitement. The anticipation is palpable, and it's clear that everyone involved is eager for this event to start. With a mix of manual and automatic transmissions, as well as front-wheel drive and rear-wheel drive configurations, the stakes are high, and the competition will be fierce.

The BMW M4 Alexus RCF takes its place at the starting line, accompanied by the Cayman GT4. Meanwhile, the surprise package - the I8 - seems to be holding a secret advantage. The car's four-wheel-drive setup promises to give it an edge on the track, while the BMW M4 struggles with its DSG transmission and limited traction.

As we prepare for the start, each driver knows their strengths and weaknesses all too well. Maro, driving the Lexus RCF, will have to rely on his skills to compensate for the car's lack of launch control. The Cayman GT4 boasts more aggressive styling, but its slippery surface may hinder its performance in these conditions.

In contrast, the I8 is looking like a formidable opponent - with its massive electric motor and four-wheel-drive setup, it seems poised to take an early lead. However, this will be put to the test as we embark on this high-speed drag race.

The starting lights flash green, and our four competitors are off! The I8 rockets away from the line, leaving its competitors in its dust. Maro takes second place, closely followed by the Cayman GT4. But don't count out the BMW M4 just yet - it's going to take a lot more than luck to catch up.

As we make our way down the track, it becomes clear that the I8 is pulling ahead - but not without some remarkable traction control. The car's massive power delivery puts its rear tires under immense stress, causing them to spin out of control. Meanwhile, the Cayman GT4 is struggling to find its footing on this slippery surface.

**The Reveal: Who Will Take the Win?**

And so we arrive at the quarter-mile mark - our competitors' performances revealed for all to see. The I8 has taken an early lead, closely followed by Maro's Lexus RCF. But just as it seems that the Porsche is about to take the win, the M4 starts to gain ground.

In a stunning twist of fate, the BMW M4 crosses the finish line first - leaving its competitors in awe of its incredible comeback. However, this victory comes at a cost: the car's rear tires were left spinning wildly as it accelerated down the track.

As we rewind the footage and take another look at the results, it becomes clear that Maro's I8 was beaten by mere milliseconds. The BMW M4 may not have had the most powerful engine or the most advanced technology - but its driver managed to outmaneuver its opponents in this high-stakes drag race.

But don't be fooled: the I8 is no slouch. In fact, it put on a spectacular display of speed and agility throughout the competition. Its four-wheel-drive setup proved to be a game-changer, allowing it to hold off its competitors with ease - at least until the very end.

As we reflect on this thrilling competition, one thing becomes clear: each car has its unique strengths and weaknesses. The Cayman GT4's slippery surface and M4's limited traction hindered its performance - but also made for a more exciting watch. And while the I8 took an early lead, it ultimately came up just short.

In the end, it's the Porsche that takes the win - and proves itself to be one of the best sports cars on the market. Whether you're a piston-powered aficionado or an electric enthusiast, this incredible drag race has something for everyone.

"WEBVTTKind: captionsLanguage: enright hello welcome to the Cayman GT4 which is again just go if we're getting serious Maro needs to start in first and Mar so you need to go right anyway welcome to GT happy set up over there rolling now you can hear lots of camera people rolling saying they're ready ready apologies for all the walkie-talkie nonsense what we're here to do is a four-way sports car drag race so a drag race between a BMW M4 Alexus RCF a Cayman GT4 and the surprise package possibly a BMW I8 uh we've got a V8 rear wheel drive we've got a flat 6 Mid Engine rear wheel drive we've got turbocharge straight six rear wheel drive and then we've got electric and petrol driving all four wheels I'm the only manual car here is it going to win I don't know couple of them got launch control this just when you this this will hold the revs but as soon as you slip the clutch it just spins out the back tires I8 is quick cuz it's four-wheel drive M4 is hopeless cuz it's got DSG and uh and no traction because the BMW has a nasty habit of once it's lit up its rear tires it just tends to stay in the same spot I like this car you'd like this car uh that's Lexus RCF I like the car and Maro who's driving it likes that car doesn't have launch control but Maro is pretty skillful and it's got more traction than you'd think and I'm to C GT4 which should have loads of traction but it's a little bit slippery here I think I'll need a little bit of clutch slip just to stop the rear wheel spinning up in these conditions but we'll see either way quite exciting standing qu mile four cars 5 4 3 2 do with a war dry day oh we're off yep and I've been absolutely toed off the line there Maro jumps a start by mile this has got the I8 at the end that is a massive jump start that mate that mate that mate come on I mean that was a jump by what 3 seconds oh no way that was pretty much bang on wasn't it still Amber definitely an Amber Gambler Reon I reckon I was maybe so let's try it again how much was that by was I really that you were bang on no I didn't you didn't jump it yeah it's the others like the M4 was the slowest getting away that that M4 just gets no traction I'll get right I did not jump here the boys are saying I went bang on green it's my fighter pilot reactions that's extraordinary that is extraordinary well fair enough I don't believe them it's a clear jump I could see it from here unless the speed of light takes that long to get through the Cambridge air and replaying the footage Now video evidence based on the video evidence it looked like Mara jump gun by only a few hundreds of a second maybe the rest of us were too slow too nice too slow well let's try it again anyway should I do this run with the engine not just electric this time yeah you should have as much as you as much as you can get me that was a joke I see I think we're going have another go that is how you get away in a GT4 I did manage to get off the line reasonbly clearly R out to eight might catch the I8 just catch the I8 by finish I started to gain as the electric motor loses its urge towards the end yeah I don't know maybe and that's pretty clear victory for the Porsche there I think you know I didn't expect it that I8 expected to get away quickly not necessarily to hold a lead over three genuine Sports cars is it sports car don't know didn't expect it to be quicker than all of this company John that's very impressive the way that I8 gets away it's all down to me I'm doing a lot here oh yeah I can I can see that your you know your death clutch work is is paying off that GT4 looks the best well it is the best oh you're the best by hack this car likes to bonfire its rear tires it's cuz that really spiky power delivery it's quite difficult to uh to modulate it's all bit on or off and when it's on basically the tires are spinning and once the tires are spinning you're going nowhere these are my excuses I've got loads of them M4 just can't get us power down I8 does spectacularly GT4 gets it down okay but ideally it would be a little bit warmer and dryer for the GT4 still this is the best sports car it doesn't matter what company you put it in it's one of the best sports cars so that's decided the Porsche snatches a narrow victory over the I8 and we will be back again to take on piston heads in another videoright hello welcome to the Cayman GT4 which is
