Will the integrated GPF/catalyst system impact the tuners who sell manifolds/exhausts with higher flowing cats to 981 Cayman s/GT4 owners? I assume you will have to have a GPF to have an MOT for the 718 GT4.

Motorhead said:It’s a bit of a moot point because while it’s not illegal to remove a diesel particulate filter, it is illegal to drive without it if one should be fitted. I presume the same applies to a gasoline particulate filter, so that implies any 718 aftermarket exhaust system will need to have a GPF.

Twinfan said:Yep, 981 > 718 in looks department for me too, although some people are saying the 981 is starting to look a little dated. However, I quite like that! I was thinking earlier today that even if it is starting to date, it's dated in a good way. Much like a 964 versus a 993...
Motorhead said:It looks as though the 718 is going to be with us until about 2023, so apart from fiddling with the front and rear PUs and perhaps the lights there's not much that can be done.
Personally, I've never liked the 981's central console "buttonfest" - dated technology and too much of an ergonomic nightmare in my eyes - which is still present in the 718. I'd assume that's an area which will be receiving attention in the next four years - in line with the 992's layout?

I can confirm that it's a PITA to find the buttons to select sport, etc when you've already headed out on track and have your helmet on, gloves on and are travelling at 3 figure speeds because you forgot to do it while stationary in the garage!![]()
