Magazine Extras:
As the team responsible for producing the world’s best-selling monthly Porsche magazine, we showcase a wide variety of Stuttgart-crested speed machines in order to cater for enthusiasts interested in all flavours of Zuffenhausen’s sports cars. From the oldest Porsche products to the very latest, from heavily modified to factory standard, there isn’t a form of Porsche we won’t consider for inclusion.
For all the eye candy, bells and whistles, however, we never lose sight of the driving experience. This is, of course, what separates Porsches from all other performance cars. We also recognise the value in enjoying the purity of a Porsche, which is why we regularly feature base models, free of fancy add-ons.
Be it a 911 Carrera, a two-litre 924 or an entry-level Boxster, these cars often present not only the simplest examples of their breed, but also the most accessible. And so it is with this issue’s Cayman cover stars: a 981 2.7 and a 718 2.0.
Flat-six versus flat-four. Normally aspirated versus forced induction. Both cars are pitched at the same price point, but which is best? Convention tells us the flat-six reigns supreme, but is this really the case? We strap in and find out. Enjoy the magazine.
Issue Summary:
We test the new V8-powered Cayenne S, a famous classic 911 Turbo, base-model 981 and 718 Caymans, plus we head Stateside and visit Porsche indie, Seacoast Specialist Cars.
Top 3 Issue Features:
FOUR INTO SIX - In a battle of base models, we pitch a 981 Cayman 2.7 against a 718 Cayman 2.0, amounting to a normally aspirated 2.7-litre flat-six versus a turbocharged two-litre flat-four. Market behaviour and enthusiast wisdom says six is best, but is this really the case?
TIME TRAVEL TURBO - This former 911 Turbo press car has been given a new lease of life following two years spent in the workshops of Porsche indie, Mike Champion Engineering. We head to Oxfordshire and get behind the wheel.
THE BEST, DONE BETTER - The third-generation Cayenne has been treated to a mid-life update. One of the most altered models is the Cayenne S, now powered by a thumping V8. We take to the Alps and find out what this super-SUV is really made of.
