Porsche Debuts New 718 Cayman Sports Coupes With CarPlay Support

Model 3 already looks better, is cheaper, and I'd guess it probably performs better. Also, this thing looks useless from a utility perspective. It has no cargo space and it only seats a single passenger.

Respectfully, you don't buy a Porsche for utility. The exception being their SUV's. Performs better? Can I assume you're not a car guy? That's not a knock and I hope you don't take it that way, but the statement makes me think you views cars as more a mode of transportation than an experience. Nothing wrong with that perspective either.

The Model 3, like the Model S, will never be considered performance vehicles. As for looks, Tesla better fix that nose. Holy smokes it's...

Beautiful. I'll take an S with the manual please

Yup. The Cayman is Porsche's best performance value by far. It would be even better if they didn't have to keep the performance envelope below the 911.

On topic: Having the Porsche Connect App just makes Car Play seem like a superfluous "ticking off a box" just to say it's on there.

/heads to the configurator to turn a $60K car into a $100K car. Porsche is the king of add-ons

What are you talking about?

One is a purpose built sports car and one is a mass market sedan/hatch thing.

Why are you comparing apples and oranges?

I'll take that in Space Gray thank you.

All I know is that I think the Cayman is by far the most beautiful car currently in production.

Yeah, it's up there. I love the 981.1/2. I used to hate the 987 Cayman.

Straight line speed, the Ferrari would catch up and overtake at the first corner

The Tesla (the Model S, at least) actually performs very well through corners too, thanks to it's extremely low centre of gravity. It's a lot heavier than the Ferrari, but with the 21" wheels and the right tires on it, it'll be competitive with a lot of performance cars.

But you're right that the Ferrari would win around the track - under constant heavy acceleration, the Tesla's power limiter would eventually kick in to protect the battery from overheating. Once that happens it'd have no chance.
