New Porsche Cayman GT4 Breaks Cover
Porsche鈥檚 new-for-2019 GT4 contender has broken cover, with the new-generation Cayman GT4 Clubsport spied testing at Monza this week. The car, believed to be based on the yet-to-be-launched Porsche 718 Cayman GT4, is expected to replace the current GT4 Clubsport MR in the German manufacturer鈥檚 customer racing lineup. It is believed to feature an upgraded 3.8-liter flat-six powerplant, although multiple automotive publications have pointed to the road car utilizing a detuned version of the 4.0-liter flat-six found in the new 911 GT3. While other details have been scarce, Sportscar365 understands that Porsche has already held private on-track events, including an outing at Daytona International Speedway in late July, for prospective customers. Head of Porsche Motorsport Dr. Frank-Steffen Walliser wouldn鈥檛 confirm any details of the new Cayman GT4, other than that it will be racing next year. 鈥淚 cannot comment in detail on it but as a road car, this is way stricter on what we can announce,鈥?he told Sportscar365. 鈥淲e have to stick with the plan for the road car. The race car has to follow the communications. The new road and race cars are expected to be formally unveiled early next year. John Dagys is the founder and Editor-in-Chief of Sportscar365 as well as the recently launched e-racing365 Web site for electric racing.
It is clear that Ron does not share a personal commitment to customer service and clearly this shows through with his staff. If you're looking for an Audi in the area, we have had great experiences since this one at Audi Cary. Sales Guy Mike made a big mistake today. Bad decision Mike. Lost an easy sale. I worked with John Marble to lease my A3. He was extremely accommodating and helpful with what I was looking for and in the time I needed it. He even brought my car to me when it arrived since I couldn't slip out of work. The service level here is unsurpassed and I am thrilled with my new car. I will be returning to Audi Raleigh for my next car and will make sure I work with John again. This was my husband and my first trip to Audi. He decided to check out the A7, since his current lease is up this month.
The new building is beautiful! We arrived on a Saturday afternoon around 3pm (they close at 5pm) and there weren't many sales people available. I only saw one with another customer, but we still waited a good 10 minutes for someone to help us. That was a bit frustrating, but our experience improved from there. Brandon, our salesman, knew EVERYTHING about this car. He answered every question we had about the car and added a lot of value to the car through his knowledge of every last button and gizmo inside of it. Needless to say, we ended up with the brand new Audi A7 and LOVE it! I bought a car here a few months ago and it was a great experience from start to finish. Every person I dealt with, especially John Marble, the salesperson, was friendly and extremely helpful. The car I bought wasn't an Audi--it was a used Hyundai that they happened to have on the lot.
In other words, a way less expensive car than the typical cars they sell here. I wasn't treated like any less of a valuable customer and John even stayed really late on a Friday night (after 9 pm) to help make sure everything went smoothly. Anthony in the office was awesome too. It was my first time buying a car from a dealership, and I was a bit intimidated at first, but John and Anthony were so friendly and so helpful that the whole thing was a fun experience. I love my car and I loved the experience of buying it here. I'm telling you, the staff at Audi Raleigh in Raleigh, North Carolina was truly exceptional. From my initial inquiry to the day I drove away, it was an outstanding experience, which is really what you want when you are considering a luxury car. My salesperson, John Marble, deserves a promotion in my opinion. Extremely personable, highly intelligent on the car, very low stress business talk, genuinely friendly, and was (almost) as excited as I was to get into the new custom ordered 2016 SQ5. Great experience, wouldn't trade it for anywhere!
More than 50 percent of SL buyers have been choosing the V-6 version of the outgoing SL, and it鈥檚 easy to see why. Off in the opposite direction, there are the AMG versions. In a car that鈥檚 been designed with such inherent grace, the AMG SLs can feel a little forced. That said, the SL63 is the meticulously engineered, sharply-tuned brute of the lineup. It鈥檚 not quite the snarling, ebullient AMG GT, but it鈥檚 also a heck of a lot more livable. But there鈥檚 no need to even use the manual mode, as the electronic shift controls feel telepathic, blipping to a lower gear with just a dab of the brakes before a corner or to control speed on a steep downhill. All the models in the lineup now come with engine stop/start; and it's the SL63 AMG, surprisingly, that has the most subtlety to that system's operation, masterfully quelling the momentary shake you feel slightly in the non-AMG models.
