Even so, it is rare to find an NA engine with more than 100 PS per liter in this day and age. MoreoverRev limit is 8000 rpm!Despite its performance, it is also environmentally friendly, with a European combined fuel economy of 10.9 l/100 km (approx. 9.17 km/L), which is impressive.
First, let's listen to the exhaust note of interest in the video released.
It's a little different in tone than the GTS, Spyder, and GT4 of the 981 era.It sounds like a thicker, more sonic sound, similar to GT3.I'm sure we can count on this. This looks promising.
The GT4 and Spyder do not appear to have PDK at this time. similar to the previous generation model.Equipped with 6-speed transmissionThe maximum speed is The maximum speed isGT4 is 304km/h, Spyder is 301km/hand it is the first time for the Cayman and Boxster series to exceed 300 km/h.Acceleration from 0-100km/h is also 4.4 seconds for both cars.The first time I ran through the city in
A decade ago, it would have been completely in the realm of supercars, and the fact that it is achieved with a manual transmission sets it apart from its rivals.
Personally, I would like to see a PDK version, but perhaps Porsche is aware of its target audience of manual-loving Porsche purists, and perhaps they were trying to avoid a breakdown of the hierarchy, as a PDK version would beat its big brother, the 911, if it were bad enough.

The top appears to be basically the same as the previous generation, with a lightweight soft top in the tradition of the 550 Spyder and 718 RS 60 Spyder.

In a nutshell.I have a reservation for the 718 Spyder, but I'm wondering if I should swap it for the 981 Boxster GTS.The reason for this is that I am not sure I want to give up the beauty of the 981 GTS. The reasons are that I would hate to give up the beauty of the 981 GTS exhaust, and the manual soft top is a bit of a convenience issue for me as a long distance touring enthusiast.
