daro911718 GT4 PDK stats from Porsche All Porsche 718 models can now be ordered with the seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK).– the 718 Spyder and 718 Cayman GT4 – now accelerate from 0-100 km/h half a second faster, in 3.9 seconds. They reach the 200 km/h mark in 13.4 seconds (0.4 seconds faster). The 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Boxster GTS 4.0, both with 294 kW (400 PS), also improve in the standard sprint from 0-100 km/h by half a second to 4.0 seconds, and then reach the 200 km/h mark in 13.7 seconds (0.4 seconds faster compared with the manual transmission).

Do you think there's room now below the 718 for a smaller, back to basics sports car? 🤔
lawrence quinnDoes anyone know if the CTEK 5.0 can be fitted straight on to the battery posts on a 718 Spyder. Handbook has a cross on the negative post and shows separate ground which is too far apart for the lead. Also if charging by socket, which one is live? Thanks.
Dave MillerI have an optimate connected directly to the battery terminals of my 718 Spyder and have not experienced any issues. I did the same for my previous cars (991.2 and 981 BGTS) and again never had any problems.Looking at the manual it states not to connect directly to the negative of the battery for jump lead starting purposes, I guessing this is because of the high current involved whereas a trickle charger will only deliver 1 or 2 amps.

Thanks.There’s a very recent Boxster thread on batteries that has a picture showing you how to connect to the ground on the passenger side suspension turret which should work with even a short lead - on the 981 you definitely should not connect both sides directly to the battery. Assume the 718 is similar, the manual will tell you - if you do, you bypass the black box on the battery that controls the charging strategy and risk reducing the battery life over the long term.None of the 12v sockets in my 981 stay live - but that does vary by build date, not sure about the 718.
daro911flat6 Do you think there's room now below the 718 for a smaller, back to basics sports car? 🤔"NO" I think that ship has sailed long ago and its all about the margins for now and entry level sports cars will only make entry level margins for same amount of production time a Spyder or GT4 could be rolling off the line

kitchens then using the O rings but cut a bit out to form a C saves removing the bolts Thanks Brian. Good tip. made fitting the lead easy and it now comes out at the washer so no need to open the frunk.
daro911Apparently the Car Guy could have saved his £5k and just fitted this valve controller which like the 981 opens the valves from tick-over unlike the new PC factory set up which opens the 718's valves circa 4500-5k rpm mark which in any gear means your going some https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfCa7JSu9Yg&feature=youtu.be https://youtu.be/aDHaEFAfMa0
kitchensSounds better I agree ...but no way matches the 981 sound ...love the colour think it suits the shape better than the Spyder.
kitchensWow !! nearly on page 1000 who will make it happen ..think it would only be fitting for our founder Spyder Man Robert (daro911) to fill in the last pages .
