Porsche Unveils 2019 Cayman GT4 And Spyder




The only essential difference between the 2020 718 Cayman GT4 and the 718 Spyder is the body style: the former is a coupe, the latter is a convertible. Both are powered by a new naturally-aspirated, four-liter flat-six that produces 414 horsepower and red lines at soaring 8,000 rpm. The engine comes mated to a six-speed manual that automatically rev matches鈥攁 feature that will come in handy for those who haven't mastered the heel-toe balancing act between throttle and brake. Zero to 60 mph takes 4.2 seconds in each, but top speed for the GT4 is 188 mph, while the Spyder is exactly 1 mph slower. The traction, stability and anti-lock braking systems have all been tuned for the track. As CNET's Road Show notes, both trims are aggressively style with a splitter and spoiler in the front and a diffuser, set of tinted taillights and sport exhaust in the rear. The Spyder has a manually operated fabric soft top. Sport seats and a GT Sport steering wheel, air conditioning and Porsche's PCM infotainment system standard interior features. With regard to the cabins' aesthetics, the GT4 is finished in brushed aluminum, while the Spyder's matches the body.





Paint finish has no imperfections in it. All three of these are made in Bratislavia, Slovakia. Bratislavia is the capital of this country, BTW. I should add that if it wasn't for dieselgate, I would probably have kept my perfect 2015 Touareg TDI. Build quality on that is on par with the Q7 and I hate to say it but a little bit better than the Cayenne. After havinbg owned all 3, the Q7 build quality is the best of the 3 and that includes the interior. I'm in a similar boat, and concerned especially with the non-pccb brake squeal issues, that would not be acceptable. I have owned a 17 Q7 and have a 19 that's arriving any day now. Our 2017 Q7 hasn't been 100% trouble free but it's indeed one hell of a vehicle and offers far better value than the CY. I would assume 2020 production would start near that car.





Some options on the configurator point to an August availability, but that is an estimate. Most Porsche switch-over happens July/August/September.

That sounds right, I guess the EPA will be the wild card which as an example has significantly delayed the Macan 19 MY release form the ports. That is correct. Very frustrating for all involved. Especially for non-Carb states that do not have to deal with that side of the testing. That is correct. Very frustrating for all involved.

Might the MY20 CY be delayed or are the long delays mostly when an existing model get significantly updated? Might the MY20 CY be delayed or are the long delays mostly when an existing model get significantly updated? New Model introduction. Looped into the first note, but any new engines/ models have to pass the various governing powers tests prior to sale. This is expected and understandable. This process has become very tedious since the Diesel issue and we see it affecting not only Porsche but other manufactures too. Respective Ports are considered an extension of Factory. Repairs from ship damage, recalls that have been issued during transit, or anything else deemed "Factory" is all under V300 status. This can cause delays at Port. Parts shortages. Porsche is still considered a small automotive company despite their world dominance. Venders and suppliers sometimes experience issues and those can push back parts of the production process which then delay delivery.
