718 Cayman GTS 4.0 Track Test
ReviewsPerformance analysis of the naturally-aspirated GTS 4.0
Nürburgring Impressions
The GTS 4.0 is the sweet spot of the lineup. Its naturally aspirated flat-six shrieks to 7,800 rpm while the chassis remains forgiving on long stints.
Sector Times
Tire Strategy
- Michelin Cup 2 R ran 4 hot laps before heat soak.
- 29 psi front / 31 psi rear hot pressures delivered the best balance.
Notes
- Brake pedal stayed firm thanks to Porsche Surface Coated brakes.
- Manual gearbox offered the most engagement but cost ~0.2s per lap vs PDK.
If you plan on repeated track days, budget for extra camber shims and a baffled oil pan.
