The differences between Porsche 981 and 718 are as follows: 1. Different appearance: The Porsche 981 has a rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout, while the Porsche 718 has a mid-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout. This can be distinguished from the exterior, as the Porsche 718 has a mid-engine layout, so it will have a side vent for ventilation and cooling, while the 981 does not. 2. Different power: The Porsche 718 mainly has two power configurations, which are 2.0T and 2.5T, with power outputs of 250 horsepower and 350 horsepower respectively, and 0-100 km/h acceleration times of 5.6 seconds and 4.4 seconds; while the Porsche 981 is equipped with three engines: 3.0T, 3.8T, and 4.0L, with the fastest GT version accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.

As a loyal Porsche fan, I've driven the 981 and 718 several times. The biggest difference lies in the engines: the 981 features a naturally aspirated six-cylinder engine, with an exhaust note so captivating it gets your blood pumping the moment you step on the gas, delivering exceptionally smooth linear acceleration. The 718, on the other hand, has switched to a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, offering significantly more horsepower, shaving over a second off the 0-100 time, and better fuel efficiency. However, the turbocharging takes away some of that pure mechanical feel, and the sound has a more modern tone. Exterior-wise, the 718 is sharper, with sleeker headlights and a new large screen in the interior that adds a high-tech vibe, making it feel more sporty to drive. Overall, the 981 is better suited for those seeking classic driving pleasure, while the 718 represents evolution, being more modern and practical.

Does Having Water on Car Mats Affect the Car Interior?

Actually, having water on car mats does not pose significant harm. More details are as follows: 1. Definition: The 360 Soft Mat is a custom-fit, split-edge, full-coverage car mat designed specifically for each vehicle model. It is precisely tailored based on the original car's dimensions, featuring a 1:1 streamlined design, ensuring a perfect fit for different car models. It is not a single-piece design but consists of separate mats for the driver's side, front passenger side, and a shared rear mat. 2.

The split-edge design ensures each mat is securely embedded into the car's interior panels, preventing edges from lifting, maintaining a clean and elegant appearance, and enhancing protection. Even with frequent human activity, the mats stay in place, do not deform, and do not interfere with the car's functions or operations, maximizing driving safety.

How to Purchase Parallel Imported Vehicles?

Parallel imported vehicles can be purchased from 4S stores, imported car dealerships, and ports. Below is a detailed introduction to the channels for purchasing parallel imported vehicles: Purchasing from 4S Stores: Some 4S stores also deal in parallel imported vehicles. For example, a Honda 4S store may sell imported Jaguar Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Patrol, and other models, while also providing after-sales services for these vehicles. Purchasing from Imported Car Dealerships: Imported car dealerships are essentially equivalent to 4S stores, except that they sell models from multiple brands rather than a single brand. Purchasing from Ports: Currently, over 90% of China's parallel imported vehicles enter the country through ports such as Tianjin Port, Qingdao Port, Dalian Port, Fuzhou Port, and Huangpu Port, with 70% of them entering through Tianjin Port.

What are the reasons why the Mercedes-Benz GLK won't start?

Mercedes-Benz GLK may fail to start due to reasons such as a depleted battery, obstructed fuel flow, poor ignition system performance, or excessive carbon buildup in the throttle body. Depleted Battery: The starter motor may begin to turn but lacks sufficient power (weak rotation), eventually producing only clicking sounds without turning. Low winter temperatures and forgotten electrical devices can prevent the vehicle from starting, especially with prolonged short-distance, low-speed usage in winter, causing battery voltage to drop below rated values and preventing normal starting and operation. Obstructed Fuel Flow: Do not wait until the fuel is almost empty to refuel, as this can result in no fuel pressure in the engine's supply line. This situation often occurs on extremely cold mornings due to long-term contamination of the fuel lines. At very low temperatures, water and debris can mix, blocking the fuel lines and preventing the engine from starting. Excessive Carbon Buildup in the Throttle Body: If there is too much carbon buildup in the throttle body, the engine may also fail to start. In such cases, lightly pressing the accelerator pedal may help ignite the engine.
