Since the integration of the Boxster Cayman into the 718 series, its development in the Chinese market has been smooth sailing. The main reason is that it has been replaced with a horizontally opposed six-cylinder self-aspirated engine to a horizontally opposed four-cylinder turbocharged engine, which increases power and lowers the price.
The naked price of the new model is 5650,000 yuan, plus about 100,000 yuan of options, the price is about 700,000 yuan, while the price of the previous generation model is about 1 million yuan. This huge difference has made the 718 the car of choice for many wealthy female consumers almost overnight, and has therefore become an eye-catching "Internet celebrity" car.
However, being favored by countless little rich women and Internet celebrities has not brought it positive feedback, and in the hearts of the public, the image of 718 is even somewhat negative. Some people call it "mother-in-law x car", "can't afford 911 to buy 718" and so on, such remarks can be seen everywhere. The author doesn't know why 718's reputation has become the way it is, but he can be sure that most of the people who make such statements have neither bought nor driven 718, but are just blindly following the trend.
Luckily, Porsche provided a 718 Spyder for the author to test drive in depth for two days, and the next step was the author's test drive. After the test drive, the author's biggest feeling is that the 718 is not like the "mother-in-law car" and "can't afford to buy the 911 before buying the 718".
The first is the statement about the "Niang X car", which is entirely because the 718 is very easy to drive, which leads to some prejudices, even people with average skills can drive quickly, and people with high skills are even more comfortable. Some people believe that the 718 lacks that sense of conquest of the vehicle, and that it is a person who can drive well, which is actually a reflection of its strength.
Those who want to challenge themselves with the vehicle are fun to some extent, but after driving for a long time, there are few people who can match it. Second, many people say that they can't afford 911 to choose 718, and this argument is justified to a certain extent. After all, the 718 was originally positioned as the little brother of the 911, and the price was relatively low, which could reach more consumers. However, that doesn't mean 718 is bad.
Although it is artificially positioned as an entry-level model, it is inherently a high-spec car. Mid-rear-wheel drive is the layout that the big brother 911 is also very envious of, Porsche is even slowly adjusting the engine forward, ** The model can no longer be called rear-wheel drive, and the mid-rear is more suitable. The natural advantage of this construction makes the 718 perfectly capable of rivaling the 911 as long as Porsche does not suppress it.
The strength of 718 can be measured in three ways. The first is brand influence, which everyone is familiar with, so I won't talk about it anymore. The second is the strength of the driving control, which is difficult to feel concretely, and we will discuss it in more detail later. The third is the exterior design, and I believe that all those who like the 718 choose it because of its appearance.
When you first see the Porsche 718 Spyder, you may be attracted by its shape. Its styling fits well with our definition of a supercar, such as mid-mounted rear-wheel drive, low-lying bodywork, and side air intakes. Many people's first impression of this car is that it must be a supercar worth millions!But in reality, it's not that high.
Now that we've got an idea of what it looks like, we'll take you on a closer look at how the car actually performs. First, let's take a look at what it does. The 718 Spyder is powered by the same engine as the T version, with a maximum horsepower of around 300 hp and an official acceleration time of just 4 km/h7 seconds.
Although the power performance is slightly lacking in front of its landing price, it weighs only 14 tons, so it still feels pretty good to drive. In addition, it comes with a 7-speed PDK gearbox, which is impressively smooth and fast in shifting. Of course, the Porsche 718 Spyder is more than just a sleek sports car. The texture of the chassis is excellent, and the driving is quite solid.
Many people will question how well the MacPherson suspension performs under Porsche tuning, but in reality, the suspension system of this car is excellent, giving you better control and stability while driving. Finally, let's talk about it. The 718 Spyder isn't that expensive, but it's still expensive compared to other sports cars. Therefore, if you want to buy this car, it is advisable to prepare well first.
Of course, if you really want a beautiful and great sports car, then this Porsche 718 Spyder is a highly recommended choice. In short, the Porsche 718 Spyder is not just a stylish sports car, it actually performs very well. If you are a person who loves to drive, then this car will be an excellent choice for you.
The holy grail of car players: Porsche 718 Spyder Everyone knows that Porsche is the god factory of playing cars, and its professional ability and design level are industry-leading. The model we are going to introduce today – the Porsche 718 Spyder – not only looks extremely aggressive, but also performs extremely well as a sports car.
Firstly, the mid-engine layout allows you to go through the city's turnaround at high speeds, and secondly, on the big straights, you can step on the accelerator without hesitation, and the body climbs steadily to a speed that can compete with the wind. However, it is worth noting that the 718 spyder we experienced in China is not a complete body, only the appearance is bluffing and the inside does not keep up.
If you want a real soul, consider buying the 718 Spyder RS, which comes with a 4A high-** suction engine with 0 displacement, but the price of the landing is as high as 2 million+, which is impractical for most consumers. If you're on a budget, I recommend you go for the 718 Boxster T. That's a big savings on a budget, and the performance of the car is very good.
If you really like the 718 spyder, you can choose to buy a used car in good condition, which is a better option. All in all, the Porsche 718 Spyder is the holy grail for car players, it performs and looks very good, and it is a model that is well worth buying.
