Porsche New 718 Cayman GT4 - This is the spec my husband would buy

Porsche Cayman

The new Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder were just announced, and the twitterverse has been all about it yesterday and today, butThe configurator was released overseas.So, my husband tried it out as soon as possible. He thought about it from the viewpoint of "If I were to buy one myself..." I would like to introduce it to you.

New 718 Cayman GT4

exterior

First, the colorMiami Blue (color, colour)selected. I am not sure about the racing yellow, but it is a very nice blue in person, and I would like to have a Porsche in this color someday. BesidesSports cars that are similar to racing cars like the GT4 look good in flashy colors.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

718 Cayman GT4

Only one type of wheel can be chosen, but there are several colors to choose from. Silver is also cool, but it is a regular brake version, not PCCB.Satin Platinum was selected to reduce the appearance of brake dust stains.(or maybe even black). (Maybe even black)

The lights are HID (black) with PDLS instead of LEDs to give it a tighter look.Door handles painted in high-gloss black, a recent trendI'm not sure if this is a good idea or not, but it's a good idea. This is a cool accent when viewed from the side, and is an item I regret not having done with the GT3 Touring.

The rear is painted high gloss with the GT4 emblem. This was matched with the door handles.

Chassis/Interior

This is standard on the Cayman GT4, as only a 6-speed manual transmission is available.
The brakes are not PCCB.The brakes are used as normal brakes. This is for economy on the circuit.The following is a list of the most common problems with the "C" in the "C" column.

The color selected is the red stitching version of the leather interior. This is the exteriorSince the brake calipers are red, the color of the brake calipers is matched with that of the calipers to create a sense of unity.The red center mark on the steering wheel was also selected, and to give the car a sports car look, a carbon package was chosen, with carbon trim.Seat belts were also selected in Miami blue to match the exterior color.

The sheet isSelect lightweight carbon full bucket seats, which are only available on role-playing models such as the GT series.I would like to add this to my car. This is a must have if you are thinking of driving on the track. Then, we selected the Chrono package, which includes an analog stopwatch on the dashboard and a performance display such as torque and power on the PCM.

And with the GT4, I'd want to be aggressive on the track.He chose the Club Sport package, which included a roll cage and six-point seat belts.

Other comfort equipment, etc.

  • Automatic anti-glare mirror
    • Select this option because it comes with rain-sensing automatic wipers.
  • Electric door mirrors
    • This is essential when considering parking in a multi-level parking garage in Japan.
  • Park assist and rear camera
    • This is a car that is difficult to see behind, so there is no need to have this.
  • smoking package
    • I don't smoke, but the extra 12V power is useful for charging electronic gadgets, etc.

These would be the specifications I would have chosen under the assumption that I would buy it.

    Hello.
    Nice to meet you.

    I have found Mina's blog the other day and have been following it from the beginning.
    I've almost passed the blogging fun stop...
    I see that the 718GT4 and Spyder config home country's have already started.
    I'll take a quick peek~!

    I'm still reading your blog from a year ago, lol.

      Oh, really? Thank you! I am embarrassed to say that many of the articles are quite thin at first... lol
      But thank you for reading so much that you almost passed the stop where I got off.
      I am very happy.

      I knew it would be quicker in the home country! My husband said that the specification of GT4 was decided immediately, but the Spyder was difficult.

    Always a pleasure to see you here!
    It has been 3 years since I bought my 981 Boxstar black edition as a new used car, and I had originally ordered a manual transmission, but due to production quotas, I ended up buying a new used PDK model from a friend's store. I was interested in the Cayman GT4, and when I called the Porsche Center to inquire about it, I was told about the lottery, the cost-sharing problem, the fact that I had never purchased it from an authorized dealer, etc. Finally, I felt like I was being treated lightly. Well, it was certainly my fault for calling them out of the blue, but...
    So, I would be glad if you could tell me the procedure to purchase a special model such as 911GT3.

      It seems that the road to purchase a special model is not an easy one...
      I asked my husband about it, but he said that it depends on the dealer, and also on the power of the person in charge (veteran, etc.) in the store....

      From what I've heard, some dealers are first-come, first-served, so although I bought my first Porsche, I was able to buy a special vehicle.
      Some people say.

      In the case of our dealership, they have a fairly large customer base, so it seems that special vehicles are not readily available.
      My husband also said that after buying a Boxster GTS, a Panamera Edition, and a Panamera Turbo, he was finally able to buy a GT3 this time. (It seems he was just lucky enough to get a slot for it.)

      I wonder how everyone else is doing...
