The Porsche 718 is the entry point to Porsche’s sports car lineup. That said, with the introduction of their flat-four engines, many Porsche fans asked themselves if Porsche has lost its way. Obviously, we are not talking about the 911, since the flagship model still goes strong. That said, transitioning to a more eco-friendly drivetrain is a tricky thing to execute right, especially in performance cars that have a cult following. It seems, however, Porsche has realized their mistakes and wants to put things right. Enter the 718 GTS 4.0.

Savagegeese goes into detail about what makes the latest GTS more special. Those who are more tech-savvy would appreciate the way they showcase many of the 718’s pros and cons, even lifting the mid-engine Porsche to reveal its flat floor. The video goes to show that there is a lot more to this car than you might think, but there are also a lot of familiar elements, carried over from the prior generation Cayman/Boxster.

For the number geeks, the GTS uses a 4.0-liter flat-six producing 400 horsepower (294 kW) at 7,000 RPM and 310 pound-feet (420 Nm) at 5,000 RPM. This translates to a 4.3-second sprint to 62 mph (100 km/h) and a top speed of 183 mph (294 km/h).

Regardless, the news of a new entry-level six-cylinder Porsche is great news and would surely inspire diehard fans, who have lost faith in the model, after seeing it with two-less cylinders than it should have come with. As a bonus, it also has a six-speed manual.
