The precise 6-speed manual transmission is fitted with a dual-mass flywheel and its optimally tuned gear ratios bring the high power output of the engine directly to the road. It also ensures a particularly sporty driving experience. Tight curve ahead, shift down, long straight, shift up: it's in your hands – in the truest sense of the word. This is performance which is not only measured in power values, but also in all quantities of driving pleasure. And the dynamic throttle-blip function plays its part too in keeping you, and your endorphin levels, busy.

For the 718 Cayman GT4, the optionally available PDK is even more performance focused. The GT-specific gear selector, short shift times and succinct gear changes on the gearshift paddles, as well as a sporty seventh gear offer optimum performance – even on the race track. Manual operation of the gear selector is based on the established motorsport principle – pull back to shift up, forwards to shift down.

In short: PTV improves the driving dynamics. In detail: The integrated mechanical rear differential lock enables higher traction and lateral dynamics as well as significantly improved vehicle stability during load changes in corners and when changing lane. In addition, when the car is driven assertively into a corner, brake pressure is applied to the inside rear wheel. Consequently, a greater amount of drive torque is distributed to the outside rear wheel, almost pulling the car into the corner. Steering response is improved, agility is increased.
