I have to imagine the turbo 4 is lighter. Turbos are very light these days.

I was at the dealer today and heard a 718 Cayman startup.....No es bueno.

What a strange exhaust note.

(Which puts in the minority, but that’s not unusual)

No, you're right. Porsches aren't supposed to sound like flat-brim Subarus.

Air cooled? The 912 or 914. Probably the 914, since I think that was available later. So, mid 70s.

Water cooled? The 968--early 90s.
