718 Spyder vs 981 GT4 – Porsche GT Cars You Can Actually Afford

Two Porsche GT heroes. One question: which one deserves your garage?

In this episode, we put the 2022 718 Spyder PDK head-to-head with the 2016 981 Cayman GT4 Manual — two of the best value Porsche GT cars on the market today. Both offer flat-six thrills, stunning looks, and that unmistakable GT magic. But they serve it up in very different ways…

We compare performance, character, gearbox feel, sound, usability and more — to help you decide which of these “budget supercars” is the one to own now before values climb.

Whether you’re team PDK or a die-hard manual enthusiast, there’s no denying these are two of Porsche’s finest drivers’ cars.

What would you pick: Roof-down theatre or raw GT precision?👇 Let us know in the comments!
