718 Cayman GTS 4.0 Test Drive - Review from the perspective of a 981 Boxster GTS and 991 GT3 owner

718 Cayman GTS 4.0 engine feeling, ride quality, etc.

Incidentally, regarding engine characteristics, theI would like to talk about how it compares to the NA 4-liter GT3 engine, which has the same bore and stroke. In conclusion, the feeling is 'quite different'.

First, the GTS4.0 is more powerful in the low rpm range. It is by far the easiest to drive and handle in town. The engine sound is also better than that of the GT3's engine, which has a mechanical noise and a powerful sound pressure that sounds like a "cone! and a powerful sound pressure, whereas the GTS4.0's sound is more like a "boom!The GTS 4.0 has a higher percentage of exhaust noise than engine noise, and a sound that is somewhat beatificIt is.

andThe most important difference is the high rpm range.The GTS4.0's engine also revs quite well, but the GT3's engine is more terrifying, as the higher the rpms, the faster the rpms rise, rather than the GTS4.0's.

This is indeed the face of GT3 here.

As for handling, I didn't get to test much of that this time around.I think it basically follows the 718 up to now.The ground feel is stronger than that of the 981, and the same is true of the rear, which feels as if it is firmly planted.

If I had to pick one thing, it would beI would like to add that this GTS 4.0 felt quite comfortable to ride.From the start, the ride is moist and corey, and there is no feeling of a bumpy ride even in the city.

Recently.Of all the Porsches I've experienced, this ride quality is in the first or second level.I think. I think the suspension is reasonably tightened up, but it feels like it is riding on high quality rubber bushings. But, at the same time, it does not feel squishy or weak at all, so there is no sense of insecurity at all.

The name "GTS" may give the impression of being sportier and harder than it is.The previous generation 981 also had a very comfortable ride in the GTS.In addition, in the case of the GTS4.0, the engine and transmission are very easy to handle, so in terms of ride quality alone, I think a grade expression like "S Plus" rather than "GTS" would more accurately describe it.

After test driving the GTS 4.0 this time, I thoughtIf the reader is buying a Porsche for the first time, I would definitely recommend it. A model that is packed with all the good things about Porsche these days.I think.

In terms of a fine restaurant, it might be better described as a special seasonal menu. It is made with many popular ingredients and seasoned to suit everyone's tastes.

Of course, for those looking for something with a little more spice, the Spider and GT4 are also available.

This time, Porsche threw the ball right in the middle where the user was holding the catcher's mitt, asking the user to throw the ball here.NA 6-cylinder, mid-ship, high power, attractive sound, straightforward handling, easy handling for all.It's a sports car that has it all...GTS 4.0, I think it's good.
