The first thing that comes to mind is that this is the first iteration of the 718. At the end of it's lifetime it will be even more bonkers fast. Think about it - this is as fast or faster than 911s of ONE generation ago. 4 cylinder or not, this is a serious sports car. Great review Matt.

I bought the 718 Cayman S PDK. The car is amazing--acceleration, handling, hill-climbing authority, sound--super car performance for $100,000 with all of the sport gear, the lowered chassis, 20" wheels, etc. It's unflappable. The car runs a 3.6 second 0-60 (Car & Driver testing) and hits 186 mph (Automobile Mag-Autobahn run). Sorry 911 enthusiasts, but its the best new car to buy for the quintessential Porsche experience. It's also faster than the 911, 911 GTS and ties the 911 S in acceleration metrics. It is probably one of the best handling cars in the world. I give it a strong buy recommendation.

I just test drove one and it felt fantastic. without sport exhaust it only sounded "okay" but with the sport exhaust I think it would sound very decent. it felt very sporty and buttoned down through the on/off ramps and quick but not extremely fast. I originally was thinking I wanted a 911 so I could have back seats for my kids... after reconsidering, the back seats are not useful enough to warrant the 911 even though it did feel great to drive (991.2 Carrera), I think I'll grab a Cayman or Boxster S (hopefully a GTS when i'm ready to buy) and still have money left over for a 4 door BMW 340i or something.

The flat four is very impressive, but let's remember that Porsche is introducing these engines because they need to meet CAFE and C02 emission standards...not because they want to. I know that this engine beats the 3.4 flat six in numbers, but I'll take the H6 engine over the H4 every time.

Sure the H6 sounds way better, but it's not as though the only benefit of the H4 is economy. The on-paper numbers like power and torque are one thing, but the powerband is just huge now (peak torque at 1900rpm and peak power at 6800) The 718s sacrifice noise and in return get every other bonus.

I don't blame him for not criticizing it, it is hard to when they fly you somewhere nice and I appreciate that he disclosed that, and I like the video because I learn't more about it. But that is not a sports car sound, that is a mellow growl reminiscent of dump truck. The only way you could truly think that it sounded good was if you were a Porsche fanboy or had very low standards. Of course the logical thing to have done (in isolation) would have been to just turbo-charge a 6 cyclinder, but of course they didn't want to do that because the car would then be too good compared to the more expensive 911. Especially with the superior mid engine layout versus a rear engine. The old Boxster/Cayman was frequently getting better reviews than 911s. All the decision makers at Porsche have probably got a GT4, 911R and GT3s, so they don't care, in fact they want to keep their cars EXCLUSIVE and from depreciating and are leaving the scraps (boxer 4) for 'normal' customers. Their model lineup is kind of screwed.

Matt, Oh yeah, So happy to see you invited to a Porsche Launch event. This is the best review I have seen so far of the new 718 ! It looks awesome, handles awesome and sounds.... well, it sounds ok for a Posche if I am honest. I do feel better about the sound after watching and hearing it on your one take. In some other vids I wanted to cry after hearing it. As a Porsche enthusiast I love most things porsche does and I am a loyal customer for life. I like to see Porsche being successful, making awesome new cars and winning races. With that said, I do feel bitter sweet about some of the "progress". I love what they are doing with the new bodies and interiors, but the Character of Porsche engines has changed a LOT with the introduction of a mostly turbocharged line up in all of their cars. I guess the air-cooled guys said the same about changing to the water-cooled motors! There is something to be admired and said about the new "turbo torque", no doubt about it and it's awesome to have the pull down low, but I will miss the screaming wail of Porsche's Past. Makes me a little sad because now my purchasing options for the newer cars is limited. I am not sure if I want to switch from screaming naturally aspirated flat 6s to turbo engines just yet.. I guess that's just me getting old and set in my ways, but thank God there are still plenty of naturally aspirated used Porsches to buy in the future, so that is still a good thing. Onward and faster is the name of the game. Go Porsche!

My only thought is that Porsche decided to differentiate the Boxster /Cayman to justify the extra price of the 911. But when the first boxster appeared, the slogan was "no more 4-cylinders", young guys don't know that but I am old enough to remember it.
@slaWterCH8 жыл бұрын
I agree, fun is the biggest factor and the sound is one of the major elements for having fun in a sports car. Sure it's quicker but the emotional factor is lost. I'm so glad I was able to get an old Cayman with the 3.4l. This is similar than the 991.2. They changed a lot more compared to a usual refresh. All to cover up the downgrade in the engine and sound department. It will probably not effect 911 sales a lot because of the name and prestige that car offers. And most are after just that. But the Cayman/Boxster will be harder to sell I guess. I mean a fully loaded C7 Z06 with the Z07 pack costs less than my Cayman and has almost double the horsepower. The new 718 would probably not offer enough in the "feel behind the wheel" department to convince me.

I wonder how much of Matt's really good mood in this video was from being pampered in Portugal, and how much of that is by design from Porsche. Awesome car- can't wait for the Cayman.

It sounds glamorous to say "I'm in Portugal with Porsche" but it really isn't. 15 hours flying eacivh way, to spend 12 hours in a car over a 36 hour period of time. This kind of stuff is cool, but it's definitely work.

My Cayman S had 295 hp and lacked torque but was still fun, this new engine will probably run laps around the original Cayman that became a worlds best car.

Love how simple the interior is. Those variable vein turbos can have some troubles tho.. probably not with porche quality but thats the same design as the 6.0 powerstroke turbos and the veins sieze and no longer open causing low boost issues. I'm sure its not a problem with these porches though.

Hard-Edge Painting I mean the car would be as good with an updated old engine; plus you will have the NA feel and the noise. With this new engine; its just fast...that's it. Might as well go electric...*shudder*.
@TheSmokingTire8 жыл бұрын
+engared it makes 35 more horsepower, 43 more lb/ft, and gets 15% better fuel economy at the same time. Not possible with the 6
@engared8 жыл бұрын
TheSmokingTire Im sure with Porsche's boffins, they could achieve it if they wanted to. Maybe not exactly the same numbers, but ballpark figures with increased displacement or techno wizardry. And you get to keep the noise and feel as well. The problem is the EU emissions which is destroying fun cars. Honestly, watching your video; I couldn't care less if it was electric now. Almost every other reviewer is lamenting the demise of the 6 cylinder. The new car just doesn't seem to have the excitement anymore. At least, the type you want from a Porsche. That engine would be perfect in the new STI though. But in a Porsche; it has to have the X factor.

+engared I don't really care what others say. I drove the car 400 miles, twice as much as any other journalist (I had my own car; didn't have to share) and I loved it.

There was a lot of room to improve the power of the old six. The 981 was an ultra low emission vehicle tier 2 bin 5 which is as efficient as a Honda Fit. In real terms there is very little difference in fuel economy the 4 has over the 6. For me the glorious sound of the six makes it something I'm unwilling to live without.

IMO the STI sounds better than this. This thing sounds like a lawn mower with a fart can exhaust on it. FLAT 6 NA ALL DAY LONG.
