4 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4

摘要

I could be blindfolded and tell you I was driving a Porsche This car has all the makings of a Best Driver's Car winner: engine mounted in the proper place directly behind the driver and revving to a glorious 8,000 rpm, a delightful manual shifter (unique this year), unflappable carbon-ceramic brakes with excellent pedal feel, and sticky Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. This is a sports car that punches way above its 3,127-pound featherweight status. The 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 lapped Laguna Seca quicker than a Ferrari 458, AMG GT 63 4Matic+, and various flavors of Nissan GT-R. Like with any Porsche I have ever driven, I can tell it's a Porsche in the way all of its controls have matched efforts and responses. Nothing in the steering, pedals, or shifter is too heavy or too light. All respond with exactly what you'd expect from your effort or request. I could be blindfolded and tell you that I was driving a Porsche, and from the exhaust note, I could probably tell you which one. "The engine noise, this is what an exotic car costing three times as much should sound like," editor-in-chief Mark Rechtin said. "Thunderous, guttural, startling, and snarling."
