Dubai/Mumbai — The Porsche 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4 models are now available with the seven-speed Porsche dual-clutch transmission (PDK), Porsche said.
The automatic transmission is now available for all drivers who want to enjoy no interruptions in acceleration during gear changes and better acceleration values. Compared with the 718 models featuring a manual transmission, the 420 PS (309 kW) GT models - 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 more quickly).
The PDK versions of the 718 Spyder and 718 Cayman GT4 benefit from the enhancements made to their mechanical locking rear differential. It achieves 30 and 37 percent locking values in traction and overrun modes compared with 22 and 27 percent with manual transmission. The company explained that this positively affects the longitudinal and lateral dynamics and traction, increasing driving pleasure.
Porsche’s ‘718’ family will start the 2021 model year with a host of new features. High-quality Race-Tex material will replace the Alcantara fabric. The company would add vivid special paint Python Green to the color range of the GT models — 718 Cayman GT4 and 718 Spyder. The 718 Spyder will also be available with the 20-inch wheels in Aurum - this was previously only available for the 718 Cayman GT4. There will also be the option to equip the roadster with similarly-sized conventional summer tires instead of the standard ultra-high-performance tires.
The 718 Spyder and the 718 Cayman GT4 models with automatic transmission are available now. The nearest Porsche Center can provide information on the primary retail price, model specifications, and local availability.
