718 CS - Rattly Sound at 2k Revs

[Tim bo]

As per the title.

718 CS manual, 1 month old, 700 miles.

Gently accelerating, once I reach exactly 2k revs, theres a metallic rattly sound. It lasts about 1 second, whether I keep gently accelerating or keep the revs at 2k.

The sound has been there from the start, so its not a new sound.

I can't quite tell where the sound is coming from, engine or gearbox. Don't think it's the exhaust.

Anybody have similar? Not sure if it's a problem and something I should contact OPC about or not ...

So no other 718 owner has said they have the same.

Mmm. Another long drive yesterday. It doesn't seem to be changing/lessening as the engine beds in.

It's enough for me to contact the OPC over. It does not seem right.

Thanks for the responses though. Snarky sound comments par for the course I suppose.

I cannot recall exactly at what point in the rev range it was, but it was there.

same here.

Ok, thanks guys.

I guess it's a "feature" then, and not a problem.

Does sound like a resonance which kicks in at exactly the level of vibration reached at 2k revs. Hoped it wasn't something loose, which would be disappointing in a top-end build like a Porsche, but if others have encountered the same thing then I'm satisfied it's not an issue with my car in particular.

I've had the 'rttle' 'shudder' in a 718CS PDK - It reminded me of older cars with less power/torque when the revs dropped to the point of the car almost stalling if you did not change down a gear. Not very nice TBH.

Does it happen at exactly 2k revs?
