  • 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.

      Sid, great film, definitely one of the best ones yet.. the 718 GTS is an incredible car, amazing chassis, handling and this new engine delivers SO much power at any rev range, its SO quick people dont realise, and its finally enough power to push the chassis.... great stuff Sid, and amazing car the 718 GTS is

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 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.

  • @BillLee3
    @BillLee3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    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.

    It’s a good car but I find it way too expensive, especially after you add all the options you want. For the money, you could get a 981 GT4, a 991.1 Carrera S or a BMW M4 Competition…

    • @feelsgoodman245
      @feelsgoodman245 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Out of those, only the 981 GT4 is a real competitor. A 991.1 will feel dreadfully sluggish and inert compared to the 718 (I've driven both back to back). M4 Competition is a BMW so nty

    • @michaelmoore4695
      @michaelmoore4695 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      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.
