Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 - The four-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine

The four-litre six-cylinder naturally aspirated engine guarantees impressive driving performance values. Both 718 GTS 4.0 models with manual transmission reach their top speed at 293 km/h, with PDK the corresponding value is 288 km/h. When accelerating from zero to 100 km/h, the 718 GTS 4.0 with a six-speed manual transmission is a tenth faster than the S model with a turbocharged engine and reaches the 100 km/h mark in 4.5 seconds. The sprint from zero to 200 km/h takes 14.1 seconds. The 718 GTS 4.0 variants with an automated control center are even more lively. With PDK, gear changes take place without any interruption in traction. This increases shifting comfort and improves acceleration values. Compared to the 718 models with a manual transmission, the 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0 with PDK and Launch Control sprint to 100 and 200 km/h around half a second faster, to 4.0 and 13.7 seconds respectively (minus 0.4 seconds compared to the manual gearbox). In the 718 GTS 4.0 models, the standard Sport Chrono Package adjusts the shift characteristics of the PDK using four different driving programs (Normal, Sport, Sport Plus and Individual). In Sport mode, it works with faster gear changes, shifts down earlier with automatic double-declutching and supports optimal acceleration with later shift points. The even more consistently designed Sport Plus mode focuses on maximum performance and fully exploits the speed reserves of the six-cylinder boxer naturally aspirated engine. The launch control function, which activates an automated race start, is also stored in this driving program
