Engine options
With the entry-level 718 Cayman trim, you get a 2.0-liter 300 HP turbocharged flat-four engine. The GTS 4.0 comes with a six-cylinder naturally-aspirated 4.0-liter engine producing up to 394 hp. The horsepower goes up to 414 with the GT4, while the top trim GT4 RS delivers 493 hp. All the versions come with a standard six-speed manual transmission. However, you can also opt for the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles. Regardless of the model you choose, you experience balance and stability even when driving through turns and twists, thanks to the tires and the mid-engine layout.
Simple concept
Porsche says that the 718 Cayman is made for the sport of it. The idea is to convert every driving experience into one that is joyful, fun-filled, and exciting. Porsche ensures the perfect blend of the sporting spirit of its legendary 718 sports car with the aspirational design of the future.
Striking exterior
The car’s silhouette has a fly line typically associated with a mid-mounted engine. The broad rear section is highlighted with black accent trim, while the front end appears wider than the rear, thanks to the horizontal geometry of the air intakes. This is especially true for the Porsche 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 model. The wings are poised at a higher level than the bonnet in a way that the design of the headlights—daytime running lights—is highlighted. The GTS 4.0 model has tinted lights in the front. The car’s side profile emphasizes the mid-engined layout. Additionally, you can see high wheel arches to accommodate 20-inch high-gloss titanium grey wheels in the T models and satin black wheels in the 4.0 models.
The lines on the doors of the Porsche 718 Cayman direct the airstream towards the large side air intake so that the engine has adequate air supply to produce a powerful thrust for unrestrained driving. In the rear section, you can feel sporting extravagance with the flat taillights with a 3-D design on the inside, LED brake spotlights—four of them surrounding the horizontal taillights, and an accented trim between the two taillights. The tailpipe is centrally positioned in the rear apron, with twin tailpipes in the 718 T and 718 S models.
Ergonomic interior
The striking element of the interior is its simplicity. But, when you enter, you feel the power and luxury of the sporty build designed for top performance. You can find the dashboard with the central console and the simple lineup of functional buttons for easier access. The seats are comfortable and can easily accommodate most body types and sizes. Some of the other features include the Porsche Communication Management system and the middle rev counter.
The Porsche 718 Cayman comes with revised suspensions and aerodynamics. The interiors, too, have some add-ons and two color options—the Frozen berry metallic and shark blue. With plenty of customizable features and high-end leathered accessories, this car offers excellent comfort. Additionally, the car is not meant to be locked in the garage owing to its spectacular appearance and the powerful performance it offers. You can choose from 6 trims: the base trim, T, S, GTS 4.0, GT4, and GT4 RS.
