SPIED: Porsche 718 Cayman Facelift
When we last saw a Cayman GT4 facelift development vehicle, it appeared to be much the same as the original - deeper scoops, lower front splitter and larger rear wing than on the mainstream Cayman variants. The latest sighting of Cayman here, though, is of one dressed rather more modestly, more like a 718 GTS than a Porsche Motorsport division product. Contrary to the more basic appearance, however, is the aural presence of a six-cylinder engine, according to our spy photographer source. A high-revving powertrain with a more subdued exterior - sounds like a Touring spin-off like what Porsche had done with the 911 GT3, doesn鈥檛 it? There would be a slight change of tack where the aesthetic parallels are concerned, it appears. Where the 911 GT3 Touring largely appeared to merely do without the standard, large GT3 rear wing with bodywork elsewhere unchanged, the development Cayman here appears to use the front bumper from the GTS range, with less prominent side intakes. The rear end stays closer to the change that was observed previously, with a pair of exhaust outlets placed further apart from each other compared to the central layout of the current mid-engined Porsche (Boxster and Cayman) range. Also as before, a more prominent rear diffuser surrounds the exhaust outlets. Powertrain is expected to be the aforementioned six-cylinder, namely a detuned version of the naturally-aspirated unit from the 911 GT3. Peak output should be around the 400 hp mark - comfortably in between the first Cayman GT4鈥榮 385 hp and the GT3鈥檚 500 hp. Our sources have previously noted that both six-speed manual and dual-clutch automatic transmission options are confirmed.
A person who loves cars would have seen a dream that some day they would have their favorite supercar, the Ferrari, the Lamborghini or else Aston Martin, however, for the majority this wish would simply remain like a dream. Though, thanks to the gift Experience Company that offers the opportunity to try behind wheel and to drive their favorite supercar which would no longer remain a dream, but it could easily turn out to be a reality! There is an enormous variety of diverse driving experiences for the car fanatics to attempt, ranging from supercars plus single seated to the rally driving and even the tank driving. The variety of diverse driving experiences has been extremely widespread thus there's bound to be an ideal driving experience for everyone out there. The several supercar experiences have been available in the country at popular motor racing circuits such as Silverstone, Oulton Park and Brands Hatch with further airfield tracks plus smaller less famous circuits. It means that one must be available nearby for these experiences, which is an ideal gift for a car fanatic.
The best thing about my 2017 Audi Q7 is the steering. It's light and precise. This coupled with a soft but surefooted suspension makes the Q7 a dream to drive. Give yourself three seconds driving this vehicle, and you'll find yourself saying "wow." Then anything else will be less satisfying. Purists might say that they want feedback from their steering, implying that it should be harder to steer, especially when going faster. I disagree. I don't want a workout when I drive. This is not your father's Cadillac. This is thoughtful engineering. I'm not a big fan of the Bose systems in cars. I also have a Porsche 911 (2015) with the Bose system. Strangely the system in the 911 has more bass. But in both cases the mid-range audio is somehow enhanced in a way that shapes the audio quality negatively, and there is little I can do to mitigate it. There is no mid-range control.
This is a horrible oversight. It's not as bad in the Audi, but you have to limit the surround size. In the Porsche the surround mode enhances the mids so much you have to turn it off. It just sounds better in Stereo mode without the dramatic enhancement of the mids. Still, I'm satisfied with the Audi system. It's a strange thing but somehow the front seats seem a little small. I don't know how to quantify it. Maybe the surface area of the seat feels just slightly inadequate. It's not uncomfortable. My last car was a BMW 5 series with a special seat option. That seat had an adjustable extension for the legs and you felt thoroughly embraced. That's missing here. It's hard not to love this car. I use this for work and am leasing it. In the past I have leased and occasionally purchased vehicles at the end. I'm only a few months in but feel like I will do the same here. I'm also likely to exceed the mileage anyway, which would force the issue.
