THE 2022 PORSCHE TAYCAN GTS IS EXACTLY AS GOOD AS YOU THINK IT WILL BE

Around these parts we've driven just about every version of Taycan on the market, and it's fair to say we've loved them all. When Porsche offered us the opportunity to drive the new GTS in Los Angeles, we jumped at the opportunity. More than probably anyone without a Porsche name badge, we were probably best equipped to tell you what the GTS would …

THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO BUY AN EXTREMELY RARE MANUAL TRANSMISSION PORSCHE PANAMERA

Did you know Porsche offered a manual transmission in the Panamera luxury sedan? No? Well that's probably because it was only available in Europe, and only 146 of them were ever built.

HERE’S EVERYTHING THAT MAKES THE PORSCHE CAYMAN GT4 RS SO SPECIAL

Motor Trend. Car and Driver. Road and Track. They all loved the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 when it was introduced back in 2016. Now they love it even more. Why? This year, Porsche offers the 718 Cayman GT4 with an amazing seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

The 718 Cayman GT4 is the spiritual successor to the Porsche 911. Like the famous Porsche 911 (even the first ones way back in 1963), the 718 Cayman GT4 features Porsche’s legendary Boxer 6 engine. This water-cooled, naturally aspirated 4.0-litre engine delivers 414 horsepower and 317 lb-ft of torque.

How does that translate to real-world numbers? The 3,247-lb 718 Cayman GT4 zips from zero to 60 in 3.7 seconds and zooms through the quarter mile in 11.8 seconds at 117 mph. Top speed is 188 mph.

Don’t miss this golden opportunity to put this Porsche in your garage. Every donation supports veterans’ and children’s charities. Enter now.
