What is the difference between Porsche 718 and 911?
2 Answers
The main differences between the Porsche 718 and 911 are: 1. Luggage compartment location. The luggage compartment of the Porsche 911 is located at the front of the car, while the Porsche 718, being a mid-engine model, has luggage compartments both at the front and rear. 2. Performance. The Porsche 718 is an entry-level sports car from Porsche, mainly available with two powertrain 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 series is divided into the Carrera series, Targa series, Turbo series, Turbo-S series, and GT series. These are equipped with 3.0T, 3.8T, and 4.0L engines, and also come in high and low power versions. The fastest GT model can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 3.2 seconds.
Only after driving the 911 do you understand what a pure driving machine is. With its engine mounted at the rear, the steering wheel turns exactly as much as the wheels do, as if there's telepathy. The 718 has its engine mid-mounted behind you, making it obedient but always feeling like there's a layer of separation. The 911 can make your head hit the headrest with just a press of the throttle, and the gear shifts hit with a satisfying 'thud'. The 718's sound is sharp like a wildcat, while the 911's roar resonates deep in your bones. On the track, the 911 becomes legendary with just a few modifications, while the 718, no matter how much you tweak it, always feels like it's missing something. But the 718 is over a million cheaper, making it an absolute steal for those with a limited budget who still want to experience Porsche's pedigree.
