What are the differences between the 911 and 718?

[RoseDella]

Porsche 718 and 911 have the following specific differences: 1. Drivetrain: The Porsche 718 uses a mid-engine rear-wheel drive layout, where the engine is placed in the middle of the body and driven by the rear wheels. This drivetrain configuration shifts the vehicle's weight towards the rear, increasing rear-wheel traction, resulting in strong acceleration and excellent handling. Currently, most supercars adopt this mid-engine rear-wheel drive setup. The Porsche 911, on the other hand, features a rear-engine rear-wheel drive layout, with the engine placed at the rear, eliminating most of the driveshaft. 2. Power differences: The Porsche 718 mainly comes with two engine options: a 2.0T and a 2.5T, producing 250 horsepower and 350 horsepower respectively, with 0-100 km/h acceleration times of 5.6 seconds and 4.4 seconds. The Porsche 911 is equipped with three engine options: a 3.0T, a 3.8T, and a 4.0L, with the fastest GT model accelerating from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds. 3. Exterior differences: The Porsche 718 has a mid-engine layout, requiring a side air vent for cooling, while the Porsche 911 does not have side vents, giving it smoother and more elegant lines.
