Nick987 Posted 19June, 2019 Report Share Posted 19June, 2019 Found out last night that the 718 Boxtser T and Cayman T are going to arrive in AUS this year. Not as interesting as the GT4 and Spyder, but for me probably the best of the rest of the 718s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick987 Posted 20June, 2019 Author Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 What do people think of the noise? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Tinker Posted 20June, 2019 Report Share Posted 20June, 2019 My old Mazda MX5 sounds better than that, and nowhere near as good as my 986 Boxster S under acceleration..... Though that Boxster T probably goes a lot faster than either of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's such a shame because the rest of the car seems pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merv Posted 25June, 2019 Report Share Posted 25June, 2019 I have heard worse. Certainly seem to have the 'go', but at idle is sounds ... not like a Porsche, at least of modern times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This channel also has a full review of the car and they love it , saying it's so good you forget about the sound. It seems that Porsche are bringing the N/A 6 back for a new 718 GTS following the GT4 and Spyder, so maybe they're listening to the criticism.
