I still feel like I've been waiting since I started YouTube for this car to come out, even though I didn't know it existed back then. One of my first experiences with Porsche was with a GT4, which was around five years ago now. I made a video on my channel talking about my pure love for the GT4. Fast forward a few years later, I managed to buy my first 718 GT4.
Now, I had been thinking about the possibility of a GT4 RS for some time, and honestly, I wasn't sure if it was going to happen or not. So, to be standing here now with the GT4 RS, I just feel like it's such a special moment. Not just in car history because I think this could be the pinnacle of sports cars. The fact that Porsche has managed to create a car that combines power, handling, and style in one package is truly impressive.
I have to say, I'm still in awe of how good this car looks. From the aggressive stance to the sleek design, every detail seems to have been thought out with precision. And then there's the sound system, which is arguably one of the best I've ever heard in a sports car. The carbon air box on the outside gives it a unique sound that's unlike any other car I've ever driven.
But what really sets the GT4 RS apart is its performance. The way it accelerates from 0-60mph in just 3.2 seconds, and how smoothly it handles corners without any noticeable wheelspin or understeer, is truly impressive. And with the PDK transmission, it feels like a proper racing car, even on the street.
I have to admit, I'm not used to feeling this excited about driving a car. Normally, I would take my time and enjoy the experience, but in this case, I feel like a kid who's just got a new toy. The thrill of driving a sports car that can go from 0-100mph in under 10 seconds is exhilarating, and I keep finding myself pushing the car harder and harder.
The sound system on this car is one of its best features. With the window down, you can really appreciate the exhaust note, which sounds like a pure race car. Even with the windows up, it still gives off a very sporty sound that's unlike any other car I've ever driven. And when I'm driving in the rain, the sound is even more intense, as if the car is screaming at me to push it harder.
I've been testing exhaust sounds on cars for years, and this one is definitely one of the best. The way the engine revs up and then drops down into a smooth, throaty growl is music to my ears. It's like the car is alive, and I feel like I'm in perfect sync with it.
One thing that struck me when I first started driving the GT4 RS was how easy it is to get into. The paddles on the steering wheel are very intuitive, and it feels like the car responds instantly to your inputs. Even on wet roads, the car handles beautifully, with just the right amount of grip and traction.
But what really sets this car apart is its personality. It's a bit like a teenager - it's always trying to prove itself and show off its skills. When I'm driving, I feel like I need to push the car harder and harder, even when I don't necessarily want to. And that's what makes it so addictive.
I've been enjoying this experience for hours now, but I know that there's still a lot more to explore. The GT4 RS is a car that rewards exploration and experimentation, and I'm excited to see where the journey takes me. With all week to enjoy it, I can already feel myself getting attached to this car - it's going to be hard to say goodbye when the time comes.
In fact, the more I drive this car, the more I realize how little I know about it. The sound system is just one of its many secrets, and there's still so much to uncover about its performance and handling. But that's what makes it so exciting - every drive is a new discovery, a new adventure waiting to happen.
For now, though, I think I'm going to enjoy the ride. With the rain clouds clearing up, the roads drying out, and the GT4 RS purring smoothly beneath me, all I can do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience. The thrill of driving a sports car like this one is exhilarating, and I feel grateful to be alive at the same time.
The sound on the inside of this car is something else entirely. It's as if you're driving in a tunnel of sound, with every note and nuance amplified to perfection. And when I'm accelerating hard, the sound becomes almost deafening - it's like the car is screaming at me to push it harder.
I've been told that some cars have better sound systems than others, but this one takes it to a whole new level. The way the exhaust note resonates through the cabin, it's like you're right in the middle of the action. And when I'm driving hard, even with the windows down, the sound is still intense and immersive.
One thing that strikes me about the GT4 RS is how much it reminds me of my favorite racing cars. The way it accelerates from 0-60mph, the way it corners without any wheelspin or understeer - it's like driving a proper racing car on the street.
I have to admit, I'm feeling a bit guilty about this experience. With Porsche sending me a GT4 RS as a "thank you" for my enthusiasm and dedication, I feel like I should be doing something special with it. But at the same time, I know that this is exactly what I wanted - a chance to drive one of the best sports cars on the market.
The more I think about it, the more I realize how lucky I am to have this experience. With all week to enjoy the GT4 RS, I can already feel myself getting attached to this car - it's going to be hard to say goodbye when the time comes. But for now, at least, I'm just going to enjoy the ride.
In fact, that's exactly what I'll do. No need to worry about anything else - just me, the GT4 RS, and the open road stretching out before us. The world can wait; all I care about right now is the thrill of driving this incredible sports car.
