I read today that the Cayman 718 GTS has the same Nurburgring lap time as the GT4 and the 997.2 GT3!

If I was in a 718 4-pot, I'd want to get round the ring quickly to get into something else too.

Only in the 718 series is GTS an acronym for Goddawful Tractor Sound.

Roll on the 718 GT4 (or GT4 Mark II) with hopefully a nice 6-pot n/a power source!

(Possibly de-tuned version of engine from 991.2 GT3?)

Show your wife this:



Honestly, that's not even trying. Cayman is very practical.

Don't put the frozen shopping in the rear !!!

Asda, Sainsburys et al have lovely big vans to bring the shopping to you!!!

Well I am not sure how to describe the drive, erratic, noisy and extremely quick. Wouldn’t like to swap it for Macan S as it is far too uncomfortable, however I would definitely love one as a second car. I will update once I have completed my 50 mile commute in it tomorrow

50 miles !!! Brave boy i got a bit iritated after 30 !!
You'll have to turn the stereo up to 11 (as Marshall amps say)

On the Cayman S I test drove as well as the F4T noise / drone I also found the ride a bit hard for me . I asked if I added PASM would it be any better and the reply I got was NO ???
