I would brand the T cars as the naturally aspirated better value version of the Cayman/Boxter/Carrera. The 918 optional seats, lightweight glass, door pulls, lack of stereo, short throw shifter four-wheel steer (not sure if that's optional on the cayman as well as the carrera) and other exclusive options for the T cars are beautiful; The addition of a naturally aspirated motor, priced below the base/turbo model, would completely justify the lack of power, mitigate anyone's confusion of why they need to buy the T over the base, and make clear where these cars fit in with the rest of the family

You also can-t get that delightful short shift kit on the a regular MT Cayman or Boxster; it-s a very different feel with the standard setup, and to me, an important part of the T-s appeal. I don-t recall if I heard you mentioning it, but the seats are also an extra cost upgrade if you want o have them on a regular (or an S) Boxster or Cayman.

I am not sure if it is Autocar's video quality; but I think this 718 T sounds pretty good actually. I think if you wanted a new car with warranty you must be at least prepared to disregard how good they used to sound.

Rather than name it as a new model just offer as a pack that you add to the base model. That's all it is really. A pack at a cheaper than individual price. Porsche marketing guys are stroking it with big grins!

Hyundai Veloster N has 275 hp and sounds better. for $30K. IMO you only buy a Porsche if you loaded it with options, like full leather interior, that's what separates it from other sports cars, refinement.

It sounds like a Honda, and this is coming from someone with an S2000. I appreciate the engine noise in my S2000 because the Honda is so much less refined, however in a Porsche, I would expect different.

Thanks for the video, Dan on point, always. Second time Autocar has spliced official Porsche AG footage of the exterior with Autocar-shot interior footage. We do notice, and it detracts.

Can't wait for these to sink like a rock on the second hand market so I can pick one up for cheap. I always love the red-headed step children.

so the T meaning touring or what? 718 cayman is good looking and more better compare to the 981, but this 718 sounds awful tbh.
