Porsche 718 Cayman GTS: Track and Road Review

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In this film. I get the chance to drive the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS. I'm sure some or most of you know, this car now has a flat 4 turbocharged engine which has dampenned most peoples thoughts. So I want investigate whether some of that lovely magic is still intact.
Enjoy.

The 718 looks better, has apple car play and is noticeably faster! The 4 cylinder does sound different but I enjoy the sound of the turbos and a few crackle and pops! It's very raspy and cool! I absolutely love my 718 GTS

    I wish people would quit bitching about the sound. It is different from the flat 6, of course, and that engine's howl IS beautiful to hear. But.... I don't think the 4 cyl sounds bad at all! Just different! And the torque from 2000 rpm is much stronger than my 981 had. The car is now faster, and I would say overall better.

    Why does EVERYONE say that it's like getting an S with all the performance toys at a discounted price?. It is not. It is cheaper ONLY if you would have bought the different front and rear fascias (i.e. the Sport Design Package). Here's a completely configured S with all the toys: www.porsche-code.com/PKRDLYQ2 Here's a GTS with the same configurastion: www.porsche-code.com/PK67DSE1 The differences between them are the GTS has black painted wheels (which I don't like as much), has the sport design package and has black tail pipes. Plus 15HP, obviously. The S is $98,410. The GTS is $101,420. Now, if you add the items mentioned to the S the price goes up to about $103,750 and it IS cheaper. But by far the biggest contributor is the facias and they are aesthetic changes that I don't actually favor rather than performance ones.

    Changed from BMW M4 CP to a Cayman 718 GTS. I loved the M4 but the Cayman GTS is a superior car, more of an event, sharper steering, PDK beats DCT, perfect balance and the engine may be a 4 cylinder, but it’s the best 4 cylinder engine on the planet and behaves like an NA engine, very responsive and powerful. Could no he happier.
