Porsche 718 GT4 PDK: A superior transmission but how will that impact future collector value?

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 with the 414 HP, 4.0 Flat Six returns to the hangar but in a slightly more practical form: With one less pedal and a Porsche 7 speed Dual Clutch transmission. In this combo FIRST DRIVE REVIEW and round our famous #OptionsGame, MotoMan drives something that may be technically superior but presents the case of the impact of the PDK on the future value of Porsche 718 Cayman GT4s . . .

Great video thank you! As an owner of a manual GT4 I can recognize there are benefits to the lightning fast shifts of a pdk ( pdk still has long ratios) the GT4 still represents the undiluted driving machine with timeless ingredients that should not be changed. 1. Naturally aspirated flat 6 (with a battery for starting it only)... 2.Mid mounted position...3. Lightweight focused build Inc GT suspension and brakes....4. Manual transmission. One day we'll pray any car company would make something similar. #notbiased:)

[@damiangrybowski9852]

I have a 987.2S in manual, and I couldn't agree more. I wish I had PDK for performance, sometimes it's just better to be assisted with gearing when you approach redline and everything SCREAMS, being under many different forces and lateral accelerations, many times I either shift too early and sometimes bump into the rev-limiter, and had a scary missed shift or two! This is the same reason why manual is a thing of beauty - there is no *ucking around, but when you get it right it's like a union of time and space, absolutely thrilling and rewarding in a way that no PDK can give you.

[@The_Stick]

Thanks MotoMan, I appreciate the Porsche content. I found your channel several years ago when watching your 981 Boxster Spyder episode and an even older episode with Hurley Haywood and heel-toe downshifts. Keep up the great work!

[@leeraymer166]

A GT4 with a PDK, this is the only application that I would go for this transmission over the manual because of the long gearing in the 718. As always, Kumo always books the best colors for you to review. Gentian Blue Metallic is one of the best looking blues out there.

I was thinking the same thing, but the disappointing fact is that gears 1-6 on the pdk are almost exactly the same as the manual, so you still can't escape the tall gearing error by Porsche either way which is a shame

This PDK just completes this car. I just sold 2017 911 Targa 4s and seriously consider on buying the Sypder PDK one. I was fortunate enough to owned both 718s and 991.2s, I think the 718 models fit the definition of sport car. But I don’t think manual would be welcome on this gt4 model for it’s wrong gearing ratio.

[@jamesbindman9290]

Awesome video. As a 2018 718 owner, I agree the 718 is wonderful in all versions and in canyons or just running errands around town and the best Porsche driving car in terms of value.

[@marcinkopacz922]

I have for a month now (4000km) - 718 Spyder (so same as GT4 but withouth the roof) in manual (I could order pdk, but driving the stick has an oldschool charm). Before I bought it, I watched every video there is about it, and most said - the problem is long gearing. I really don't see it as a problem. The problem is exhaust of the car. If you had a good sound from 3 to 6k rpm and not from 5 to 8k rpm, you wouldn't have to rev it to 8k rpm in normal driving conditions (and that's why so many people changes exhaust after they receive the car). And in the case you are driving fast (let say on a track) that long second and third gear is all that you need, and that's good, less shifts makes you faster on the road. If not, Porsche next time should make manual transmission with third gear ending at 100km/h (62mph) - then everyone can make lot of changes and rev it in the speed limit all day, what a fun ;)

[@sselway100]

Sounds so much better than anything BMW makes.

What is your daily profile - does it need to have backseats? Will you daily it? That depends... the Carrera T is better for daily driving it, if it's the second car - or you don't have family yet - love the Cayman and the engine. Best is driving one.

I think the problem with the manual is the gearing. Other reviewers have talked about the stupid talk gearing in the MT versions, so it’ll be interesting to see if it plays out like you say. The GT3 manual has supposedly excellent gearing because it’s a 911, which is why the MT is preferred in that application.

[@randomhawks3232]

GT3 or any GT car has tall gearing; you are pushing 70mph in 2nd gear across the suite... might be 5-7mph less. Not sure why the GT4/Spyder get all the focus on this. GT cars are built for the track, but being road legal presents the issue...but ask most owners and its a non issue.

"Superior" technically is correct. I could lift weights with a fork lift and that would be "superior" to trying to bench press with my arms. But that's missing the point of lifting weights. For me a pdk is missing the point of why I want to drive. But I do understand the benefits of the automatic. I really do. But for me personally it seems pointless. Nothing ill toward people who can deal with autos. Enjoy what you enjoy

Excellent analogy. I feel exactly the same

[@alcorsi1968]

This is the review I have been waiting for! I have been pondering weather Manual or PDK. It would seem that what I can make sense of is that you predict the manual will hold it’s value better. I wanted a car for the weekend to have some fun. I have toyed with the thought of spending £90k on a new GT4 PDK but then saw your video on the 992 Carrera which seems equally a great proposition. Once I have got the boy racer out of me then I will settle for a limited number 911 which only be driven on special occasions. After watching BMW M2 video made me think do I have to spend £90k on a car, No. I value your opinion and would like your advice. Out of the following vehicles which would YOU BUY ? My list: Mercedes AMG GTs 2018, Porsche GT4 2016, Porsche 911 991.2 GTS 2016 or BMW M2 Competition 2017 (not as special as others though). I look forward to seeing more videos. Cheers. Aldo.

There is one thing which always plays on my mind, which is the long gearing on both gearboxes.

@@alcorsi1968 Hi Al - the whole 'long gearing' issue is a lot of Chinese whispers imho- if you want to change gear round town - no issues easy to use up to 4 and click into 5-6 if you hitvthe freeway. Because you have a huge rev range you csn stay in gear and rev up with a smooth delivery of torque - thats the beauty of the NA engine. You dont need to stay in a narrow rev band to utilise turbo max power output. I have a a lot of fun on the track staying in 2-3 :) or even just 3rd. I have steel brakes, leather dash and went for 18 ways rather than lwb as Im after fun rather maxing out lap times. It would work as a DD but i choose not to as i have short, start-stop commute.

PDK is the best

[@sbfhawk4343]

The PDK dual clutch system is not like any other Auto Transmission out there. The way the sport mode and Super Sport activate the higher RPM shifting points it shifts like you were driving the stick. Minus the stick. Does that man I want all PDK in all my cars no. I prefer Stick in my CRX, or my Supra. or the Fj40 hell even in the GT3 4.0 with the sport mode. But those cars are perfect for stick shifting. The PDK is the next thing to shifting and at times faster. My Porsche GTS Macan shifts like a bat out of hell in that mode and my hand is always on the auto stick lever by habit. If your in need of doing auto this is the best out there hands down. Try launching a Porsche in Launch mode like the GTS dude its violent!!! We know guys building Porsches with 1000 HP plus driving around with the PDK all day long.

Not exactly. The .1 GT3 suffers from the issue of all engine recall. Their resale dropped hard because of it. The only reason the resale value has climbed back up in recent months is because of inventory shortage and COVID that brought the price back up to some degree. Allocation numbers for the 718 GT4/Spyder are also extremely low. It took me a long time at my dealership to get one and they are top 3 in US for sales. You'll be lucky to even find one at the moment. Talking resale when it comes to Porsche GT cars is basically splitting hairs. As long as they are Porsche NA Flat Six, a GT and well kept, the resale will be generally high. Even the older .1 Targa with the last N/A Flat Six sold for MSRP with 20k+ miles because it is what buyers prioritize. That wont' change much, especially with EV looming on the horizon.

Who cares about the speculators, they have no place among car people. Speculation is one of the reasons we're staring down the barrel of a lower standard of living. Drive 'em and enjoy the ride.

[@MotoManTV]

Drive 'em, indeed!

I am all set with my W213 E63S and 987... not spending $120k for poor-man's 911.

[@rokuthedragon5675]

If you have 120k this is a much better buy than a 911, engine is in the right spot, better stats, also 4 seats? Might as well be driving a minivan

[@mattx4253]

Why is everyone talking about a car nobody can actually buy. Just come out and tell everyone the GT cars are a scam to sell the porsches that will devalue like a stone on a pebble beach
