M2CS vs 718 GT4
Now that we have details of the 718 GT4:
Which one would you pick? I am thinking the M2CS just because I need 4 seats to carry my son. https://www.porsche.com/canada/en/mo...18-cayman-gt4/

I feel the same. I am sure it will be a great car, but not the one most of us expected or wished...

Agree, and same long gearing (one of my big peeves with my 981). The spyder has more wow factor.

I'm not happy that the GT4 does not have a PDK. Plus no GT3 engine that we have been reading about for over a year. The 0-60 of 4.2 seconds is on par with a original M2 with DCT. It seems like a glorified 718 GTS.
The price of $100k plus options in the $10k range plus tax gets you close to new 911carrera S range. I think I would get a M2 CS or even stretch for next GT3 since I need an automatic. |

The M2CS needs to do a better job of the interior to differentiate from the Comp. the latest spy shots didn't show the wow factor. Really hoping it's $75K - 80K to be a better value prop. Although I prefer to have a greater price gap to the base 718 GT4

And that's assuming you can actually get it for 100k....I'm curious to see how much markup there is here in the Bay.

GT4, in a heartbeat for me. The CS sort of seems like the M2C but with the carbon fiber bits and a tune. The GT4 would be more special for me.
Also wouldn’t worry about the 0-60 times. Porsche has severely underrated their performance. Car and driver got 3.6 for the Cayman S (PDK). Suspect the GT4 will be the same, if not better. |

one thing we know for sure... the GT4 is going to hold its value helluva lot better than the M2C.

I love the M2 but I'd pick the Porsche in a heartbeat as long as money was no object....but the price difference will be truly massive.

It is not M2CS vs a 718 GT3 to me.
To different animals to be honest; 2 vs 4 seater NA vs double turbo 1420 kg vs 1600kg major price difference The 718 GT will come with PDK summer 2020, so even quicker. Don`t forget, the 718 GT4 is 10 sec faster on the NS compared to the 981 GT4, that is really a step up in performance. I want them both |
