981 Cayman 2.7 PDK

[V800MJH]

I've got one of these at the moment whilst mine is with the dealer.

I just wanted to say what a great car it is!

Had a lot of fun in it this weekend. It feels so solid, goes well, brakes are superb, sounds great (even without PSE), and I forgot just how awesome the PDK gearbox is.

Very very impressed.

You wouldn't actually need the S for daily road driving. This would be more than sufficient.

My good friend is so impressed with it, he's spoken to Porsche and is trying to get a deal on this exact car.

I think it's got a GTS style kit on it too?

Have you got a picture of the front by any chance? Be good to see the GTS front bumper on a 2.7......could be tempted to replace mine now it has 50,000 miles and loads of chips!!!

I don't know if this is even the GTS body kit? It was just an assumption, same smoked rear lights, twin exhaust pipes, same wheels etc.

Here's the front though..

I have also had one as a loan car. Fantastic piece of kit. I'm not a particular fan of PDK but the way it shuffles gears to keep the car moving along is truly astounding!

I'd always go for the manual myself, but this box is very very impressive.

I picked up my new car at the weekend - almost identical apart from the colour. It's a fantastic car!

That is stunning, congrats.

This hasn't got the GTS body. The front bumber (i.e. DLR's) are the same. Look at the example I posted. This has it. Also the tailpipes aren't black and a few other bits and bobs..

I didn't say it did by the way Just that I thought it might...

Does have the same wheels and smoked real lights though?

Also the exhaust tips are twin and black.

I felt the reverse and hated the car, thought it was the worse car In the range.

Hated the gear box, seems to take 20 seconds to get though any gear, felt lifeless and was a dull drive was happy to give it back.

I wasn't expecting much at all though so was pleasantly surprised.

Obviously not a touch on the CR.

Mine is a manual....I did have a PDK out as a loaner some months ago which was interesting at first, but soon became annoying...all or nothing...I feel the PDK may be better suited to the S as they have more torque? I don't know....I always have manuals after I learnt my lesson with a Audi TT 3.2 DSG I had which I soon tired of.

Funny you should say that. I also have a DSG 3.2 TT.

Nice car to cruise around in on a-b journeys. But no fun to drive at all. Plus the st box broke last year and cost us a fortune to fix!

I'm a manual man, but this PDK is still awesome, certainly isn't slow.

The car doesn't feel slow to me either. Would much rather have this over any hot hatch or similarly priced car to be honest.

Every morning I leave for work, I keep looking back at it. It looks so so good.

Looking forward to taking it on a good run this weekend!
