Leonard Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Whatever your opinion on the engine, there is no doubt that the 718 is considerably faster than the 981. The non S 718 PDK I borrowed was as fast as my 981 S Manual. Handling wise it was far superior. Steering with quicker rack and smaller wheel a big improvement and the handling was a lot tighter. Front end grip was very much improved. The 718 S would be SIGNIFICANTLY faster than a 981 S or GTS. I'm not going to talk fun factor, will just leave it there for once Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drumsterphil Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 My Korean is a bit rusty these days but that 718 is a very impressive car. Good vid too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
718as Posted March 15, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Strange, but the 981 looks the more modern car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The base 718 seems faster as the torque is available earlier, but it's not really, the 981s has more power and better performance figures than the base 718, you just have to work it harder. I'm sure the 718S is faster though. As for handling, well the quicker steering makes some difference, but as I mentioned before I suspect the N1, vs N0 Pirellies is responsible for most of the different front end feel. Those who have tried the N1 on 981 report a similar improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mneil Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 Sure I heard on a review of the 781s that it beat the 981gt4 by upwards of 10+ seconds around the Nurburgring. Think that's my next car of choice at my next trip to Silverstone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MIkeyv60 Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 I think there is 7 mph difference in top speed in the GTS's favor, the 718 is still quicker to 100 mph so unless you are on a straight runway or racetrack it would still be marginally ahead.

I don't think handling is just down to tyres (I have just put two new tyres on front of mine and it's better but..) 718 has a completely revised rear subframe and thicker anti roll bars. Plus suspension has neen tweaked. Along with the revised steering rack it really made/makes for a planted feeling car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rufus Posted March 15, 2017 Report Share Posted March 15, 2017 They are such different cars when you drive them back to back it's really strange, you could have one of each and drive them on different days and they will feel like completely different experiences the 981 you need to work and rev it up to 6 thousand when driving, the 718 is more of a turbo diesel drive where you don't really rev them hard and rely on the low down torque both are great but the experience is vastly different, ive got a 718 Cayman on order but the more I drive my 981 boxster the more I wish I could run both, they are massively different cars.

The 718 chassis with the Flat 6 Engine and a short ratio gear box would be a complete weapon Money no object tho I think you are right. I would happily have a 718 Cayman I think the turbo 4 works better in the coupe. I salute you on ur choice. If you could have the 981 Boxster as well then all boxes ticked!

jayk Posted March 28, 2017 Report Share Posted March 28, 2017 When i had a 718 S i ran it from 55 to 120, I will do the same with GTS and over lay the video's out of interest. I have some videos of the GTS but only 40 to 82, but comparing 55 to 82 there pretty much the same. You can clearly tell the 718 S starts pulling hard from 4000rpm and shifting before 7000rpm, where as the GTS's powerband is 6000rpm to 7800rpm.
