Our take on this /// Verdict

The Porsche 718 Cayman S PDK is a masterpiece of engineering that retains the pure essence of a Porsche sports car despite significant changes. The transition to a 2.5L turbo flat-4 engine, although controversial among purists, has brought about improved power delivery, driveability, and efficiency. The car feels incredibly well-damped, calm, and nimble, especially through long sweeping turns and sharp corners, thanks to its mid-engine layout and sharp front steering. The 7-speed PDK transmission is lightning fast, making shifts seamless and enhancing the overall driving experience. While the interior may not feel as special as one might expect from a Porsche, the cars performance and handling more than make up for it. It is a joy to drive, with instantaneous acceleration and a sense of relentless mechanical grip that makes it a standout in its class.

Price

In India, the Porsche 718 Cayman S PDK is priced at around Rs 85.95 lakh ex-showroom. When you factor in the various taxes and registration costs, the on-road price can easily exceed Rs 1 crore. While this is certainly a significant investment, the cars performance, handling, and the prestige of owning a Porsche make it a worthwhile consideration for those who value driving pleasure above all else. The price includes the advanced 7-speed PDK transmission, the powerful 2.5L turbo flat-4 engine, and a host of other features that enhance both the driving and ownership experience.

The GT4 RS comes with a 7-speed PDK transmission and features new shock-absorber technology and more rigid springs, enhancing its cornering dynamics and steering responsiveness. This change is a significant boost for performance enthusiasts. I believe the GT4 RS will set a new benchmark for track-ready sports cars.
