I have owned all generations of cayman, including a 718 with the flat four. Can confirm ownership is more enjoyable without the flat 4

I have a 2019 Cayman T, with Techart exhaust and a Stage 1 tune, 358hp it's soo nice, i love it

Finally objective comments about the 4 cylinder engines instead of comments by those that have never driven one. Four cylinders as Ferry intended...

Don t tell everyone bro! The base Cayman is a no brainer. I sold mine for a C7 Z06 but on mine, I did a tune, downpipe from Kline Innovation and 100 cells sport cat. It pulled 392 hp and 550 nm of torque for 1350 kg. The turbo made it way more responsive than a GTS 4.0 or a GT4. Coupled to the PDK and Sport chrono pack, It was reliable and fun to kick the ass of M2s, M3s, M4s at traffic light. Mine was clocked at constant 3.7 from 0 to 100 kph and 100 to 200 kph in 9.0 sec. And it handled impressively! With the downpipe, it revealed the beast of the 4 cyl boxer engine. The sound was amazing.

@@jh0720 The Corvette for those aspects: the 718 sounded great for a 4 cylinders, but the V8 from the Corvette is amazing. The power is just insane, it pulls really hard and harder than the 718 obviously. It s a 6.2 liters supercharged V8 with 660 hp and 885 Nm of torque so not surprising. It s a fully equipped car, including the PDR which is a camera that can record including sound with information on top of it such as RPM, Gs, Speed, current gear...My 718 was nicely specs but if you want the full list of equipment, it doubles the price of the car which makes no sense. Eventually the fact that it is super rare in Belgium. There are probably less than 5 C7 Z06s, not a lot of Corvette in general. Basically, after 22 years spent in belgium, I ve never seen a single Corvette before. People are amazed by it. You see Porsches at every corners, not the case with a Corvette. Mine has also the Z07 package (ZL3 version so high end equipment and finish) with full alcantara and carbon, including carbon roof. At last but not least, even though the 718 has basically 2 trunks (front and rear), the C7 has a huge trunk (I think around 600 liters of capacity, this is gigantic). What I prefer on the 718: the PDK is for me the best double clutch automatic transmission. I had quite some sport cars and the PDK is insanely fast. The AT8 speed on the Corvette is definitely slower, a lot slower. The power after tuning the 718 makes it like a sleeper. No one could expect a base Cayman to have nearly 400 hp after a tune and exhaust mod and with its low weight, this is a great track car, easy to handle and push to the limits. On my instagram, you ll find pics and a video of the PDR. Look for: stephane130281

Problem, IMO, isn’t 4 cylinders, it’s the emotional characteristics of the car. It’s a good sounding 4 cylinder engine, but it isn’t a good sounding engine (IMO). A Porsche is all about emotion for driving, and the 4 cylinder turbos don’t deliver the same emotion Porsche are known for. Personally, I think we should have seen a 5 cylinder engine in the S, or maybe GTS. It’s a fabulous engine and would go along way towards getting the emotion back - as those reading this will know, it can sound like a baby V10 at times. Can’t see the 4 cylinder being any better for emissions.

Totally agree on the sound of the boxer 4, i’ve just switched from a cayman S to a gts 4.0 and still running it in so can’t compare but do miss the instant kick from the 2.5t. The sound was also amazing but so prefer the sound of the boxer 6

718 Cayman is basically a better 911 and in fact I think its more 911 then a 911. 911 was a sports car now its like a supercar but 718 is a proper sports car.

It's personal preference on the sound. I will be buying a used Boxster GTS or Spyder either a 981 or 718 in the next year or two. The sound of the six cylinder sound rouses my spirits and excites me. For me that's what I want. I don't care about peak performance. I want the overall experience, which to me sound is a lot of. At the same time I understand different people have different preferences so I don't say that the four cylinder is bad, just that it's not for me.

I mean I can understand the the negative comments and all but I don’t really care about that. This is a beautiful looking car with a beautiful sounding Flat 4 especially at 9:33, kept replaying it. Would love to own one for sure

Also I strongly disagree with gearing and torque issues - both 2.0 and 4.0 do 115ish kph on the second gear w/PDK, so it applies to both of those and in regards to torque the only range where the stock 2.0 has more torque than 4.0 is 2-3k rpm and it’s never more than 30 Nm difference, which I doubt that is even noticeable. From the real-life experience - I was afraid of the possible deficit of the low-end torque in 4.0 since I’m used to turbocharged drivetrains, but when I actually had the possibility to test both of those back-to-back on track during the Porsche Experience event it was suprisingly quite the opposite - never felt any torque deficit in GTS 4.0, but definitely felt turbo lag and laggy throttle response in the base model. Soundwise the 4.0 is totally in a different league. Don’t get me wrong, both are great cars, I totally fell in love with the 718 when I tested only the Boxster T with base engine, but after I had opportunity to test both 2.0 and 4.0 back-to-back I strongly disagree with your opinion presented here - this 30ish Nm more torque between 2 and 3k rpm and 70ish kgs lower kerb weight in favor of the base model are doubtly noticeable, but I’m pretty sure that absolutely everyone will notice laggy throttle response, bizzarre sound and lower power output of the base one. Stock flat six version is just superior to stock base model in basically every way besides price, fuel economy and running costs.

GTS 4.0 is way faster, has incomparably better and more linear power delivery, sounds way better and for sure will hold its value better, so telling that those are almost the same in terms of performance is just rubbish same as telling that the price difference is almost 2 times - if you’d spec up the base one with all of the goodies that come as standard in GTS 4.0, the F6 variant is only 25% more expensive than base and I would say that it adds AT LEAST 50% to the experience. Never drove S model, so I have no idea how good it is, I heard that the throttle response issue is addressed by using VTG in it, but one fact is sure - my spec of S would cost exactly the same as my spec of GTS 4.0, so you really have to dislike the F6 variant to choose the S instead. Base is also a great car, but if you can afford the GTS 4.0, then this is total no-brainer for me. It’s just way better and as we all know better is the greatest enemy of good.

please review the cayman gts 4.0 pdk

There's a comment in this video about how this car has "shorter gears" (presumably than the rest of the 718 lineup?). That is a completely incorrect statement. The only 718 that has shorter gearing is the GT4RS. All of the other models have identical gear ratios (all PDK-equipped cars have the same ratios across models, and all manual-equipped cars have the same ratios across models)

My 2023 718 Boxster S Sportchrono/ Pdk and Sportsdesign package (= gives the extra cooling radiator ) did 295 in 6th gear. It has 7, and couldn't go faster because of traffic coming up. Those cars are near perfection. When you don't floor it, it consumes only 6L/ 100 km when you drive 100 km an hour on average. Chipped it will output approx 410 HP only by adjusting the curves inside the ecu. When you modify the cat and downpipe the S will output HP between the GT4 and GT4RS. These 718S's are epic!

The cayman GTS 4.0L sounds good and the 4 cyl boxer sounds worse. But power wise and driving dynamics, the 4 cylinder is just better. Its lighter, has more torque and revs to 7500RPM which is alot. What do you need else?
