But the 4 cylinder “ordinary” 718 range continues. The 4.0 l 6 cyl is GTS derivative only (and presumably with a significant price hike)

mmm, ....so what am I getting for my £110 K 992 cab over a (similar specced up) £75 K GTS boxster?

50 bhp and 2 seats, PDK, .......😳 (and it’s a 911!)

Interesting the g/km figures rise from the 190 ish to 246. Greta won't be happy. Shows why Porsche went to 4 cyls and turbo's. I assume Taycan production enables this car to sold without generating excessive tax penalties

Nice! With a naturally-aspirated flat-six Porsche 4.0 engine and the 6-speed manual transmission from 'only' £64,088! :D

Interestingly not a lot.

Boxster will be better handling and have a purer engine.

Just may get more hairdresser comments in it 😏
