Excellent handling performance

And although the sound is amazing, what impressed me more was the handling.

I have experienced both PASM and sports chassis on the 981 GTS so far, but I expected that the Spider would be a car with the same feeling as the GTS sports chassis.

However, that expectation was brilliantly disappointing. honest,Surprisingly good handlingwas. Involuntarily, while test-driving, "Ah, I think the handling of this car may be the best I've ever had!I even said.

The chassis and handling of the 718 Spider is amazing, but it retains its suppleness and the gain rises very quickly. And the feeling of ground contact at the front is very high. Maybe the marginal performance is 718 wins,The feeling of driving that I felt is more natural for the 981 spider.It fits nicely.

It's hard to express, but when you say 991 and 981 and 992 and 718 of this era as a whole, the 911 series has a better front entry, and the Boxster Cayman series has a better meaning."Looseness" and "bend" of suspensionI have a

The 911 has a feeling that when you turn the steering, the front comes in sharply and turns around at once around the buttocks, whereas in the Boxster Cayman system, after a while at the beginning of turning the steering, the trajectory of the car is a compass It draws a beautiful circle and makes a spinning motion.

There are such rough characteristics, but when it comes to this 981 spider,It's more like a 911 movement.Compared to any 981 or 718 I've ever ridden, the front feels like it's touching the ground and the time it takes to react is shorter, and it behaves like it bends sharply.

This move is close to the 991 Carrera S Cabriolet, which is 10% more than the 981 GTS sports chassis.

So I feel very comfortable and can run through the corners rhythmically. Of course, each person has a "rhythm" in their driving, so I'm not saying that it suits everyone, but at leastThe "rhythm" of my driving is that the tuning fits perfectly.

In addition, theA wealth of information transmitted from the steering and the entire bodySo, you can see how the load is applied in a short time until it rolls lightly and turns.

Therefore, you can give instructions to the spider with the accelerator and steering with confidence, so even if you ride for the first time, from that momentThe spider captures the driver's will as if he were a longtime companion.The first is the "I" in "I".

If you are not aDifference in feeling between 718 Spider and handlingThis is a big difference, if you mention it.

981 has more information transmitted from the steering, and although I refuse to say that it is a comparison, some people may feel that 718 is a little cyborg-like.

Instead of a friend, I will experience driving in the passenger seat this time. Then, a little negative side can be seen. When you apply power in the tight corner of the uphill,Slightly rear tread loses to power and G, and gets a little mushyThere is a feeling. In this area, the 718 has been improved, and I think that the feeling that the rear is straddling is much stronger in the 718.

However, theIt feels good to drive.It appeals to the five human senses more and more, so it feels like the driver is getting more and more in the car.

There are tons of cars that are faster, more luxurious, cooler, and more status than the 981 Spider.Fun is not always proportional to themIt's a car that you can understand well.

Ride Comfort

When it comes to ride comfort, it's not bad at all. It ’s stiff, but it ’s rattling and I ca n’t ride it.It's not a car that is painful to ride in the cityI think. Compared to GT3, there is less swaying feeling at extremely low speeds, and rather the moistness unique to 981 remains.

Compared to the 718 Spider, the 981 has a slightly harder impression.Perhaps many people think that the 718 is more comfortable to ride.

If I were to buy a Spyder, would it be a 718 or a 981?

Many people are wondering whether to buy a 718 spider or a 981 spider. If I give any advice

• I am fascinated by the coolness and design of the 718 Spider.
• I don't really care about the sound of the car. Or I like bass sounds.
• Emphasis on performance such as speed and power.

I recommend the 718 Spider for those who apply to.

On the other hand, if you think that 981 is suitable for you,

• Performance is important, but more important than that is the enjoyment of driving. (Although it doesn't suit the fun)
• I want to stick to the sound. I like high-pitched sounds.
• I prefer a slightly firmer ride than comfort

I think.

By the way, the price of the 981 Spider is also lower than it was at one time, but maybe it won't drop any further. The reason isThe last NA engine before the current noise regulationBeing, andOverwhelmingly less distribution than the 718 SpiderThat, andSince there are many left-hand drive manuals, there is a possibility of future overseas outflow.From.

For hard touring applications like me, an electric hood is indispensable, so unfortunately it is not a candidate, but if anyone is aiming for the 981 spider, I personally recommend it with all my strength.

981 Boxster Spider, I think that one day it will definitely be called a famous car.
