Porsche realized that I am not alone and decided to come out with the GTS (NA flat 6) and kept the GT4.

And yet, the 4 cylinder 718 almost always makes 10 best sports-cars lists, not the GTS or GT4.

The "lists" make me laugh. Camry is often rated in "lists" as the best mid size sedan you can buy.

Buy whatever you want, as I said I would much prefer the NA flat six over the turbo 4.

What's even better is that this engine—a bored and stroked version of the 3.0-liter that powers the 911, minus the twin turbos— is everything we love about Porsche's flat sixes: a responsive climb to towering revs, culminating in a strident, full-bodied roar that's a great balance of intake and exhaust noises.

We've already called the GT4 the best car of 2020, and the GTS 4.0 delivers nearly all of that goodness at a starting point nearly $10,000 cheaper. Praise be!
