- 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S
- 2.5L Turbocharged Flat-4 Engine
- 7 Speed Auto PDK Transmission
Porsche introduced the Boxster roadster in 1996, intended to slot beneath the 911 and open up its sports car offerings to a broader market. The Boxster range was priced to be beneath the 911's entry price, and it sold like the proverbial hot cakes. With the second generation entering the market in 2005, Porsche created a fastback coupe variant and called it the Cayman. This 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S is from the fourth generation, which tells you how popular Porsche's entry-level sports car continues to be. Bearing just 5,600 miles, it's a great ticket to the Porsche lifestyle without having to splash out on a 911, and it can be your weekend toy.
Exterior and Interior
With the fourth generation, the 717 Boxster and 718 Cayman gained styling that brought them closer to the 911 in appearance. Just gaze at this 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S in all its white glory, and you'll see what we mean. Sitting low to the ground with 911-esque headlamps, air vents behind the doors, and a silhouette that is very close to the 911 in profile, it's clear that Porsche wants to bring them together in spirit without actually merging them. Inside, it's a similar theme. While the 911 sports a five-binnacle instrument cluster, the Cayman makes do with three; it's a baby Porsche, after all. Nevertheless, the 190mph speedometer tells you this baby isn't just crawling around. There's a multifunction steering wheel with paddle shifters, a touchscreen infotainment system, a climate control system, and heated and ventilated seats to play around with. There's also front and rear luggage areas, making the Boxster ideal for a spot of touring, either solo or with a partner.
Engine
This 2021 Porsche 718 Cayman S is powered by a turbocharged flat-four measuring in at 2.5 liters of displacement. The engine puts out 345 horsepower and 310lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels via a 7-speed PDK gearbox. That means zero to sixty is done in just 4.2 seconds, and the top speed is a very respectable 177mph. Large ventilated disc brakes on all wheels handle stopping duties when required.
The 2017 Porsche 718 Cayman Coupe marked an important turning point for Porsche’s mid-engine sports car, bringing turbocharged four-cylinder power into a chassis already known for its balance and precision. Showing 84,147 miles, this example is finished in Black over a Black partial leather interior and pairs its 2.0L turbocharged flat-four with Porsche’s 7-speed PDK transmission. It is also well equipped with the Premium Package Plus and 14-way power sport seats, Power Steering Plus, BOSE surround sound, navigation, and Porsche Connect Plus. Outside, 20-inch Carrera S wheels finished in Platinum Satin give the car a sharper, more upscale appearance. For the enthusiast who values handling just as much as outright power, the 718 Cayman remains one of Porsche’s most engaging modern platforms.
The Porsche Cayman has come a long way since its inception, it was once a guilty pleasure of a niche crowd, but has now grown into hot cakes on Porsche dealership floors. Further to its appeal, the Porsche Cayman is also a good entrance into the world of Porsches. With performance and good looks on its side, one starts to wonder, how extreme can a modern day Porsche Cayman be? Well, the answer is right here, fortunately and takes shape with this lovely 2025 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport.
Porsche has always been renowned for their ability to defy the laws of physics and make their flagship model, the 911, a driving sensation. But unbeknownst to many people, their smaller offering, the Cayman, is actually considered a better overall car by some. But don’t let the 911 owners hear that. This 2023 Porsche 718 GT4RS with just over 8,000 miles under its belt will have you grinning ear to ear within 30 seconds of getting behind the wheel. The Cayman has been around since 2005, and in the classic fashion of most automakers, its days with us are numbered in favor of an electric replacement, making this car a certain future classic.
Few restomods take the air-cooled Porsche formula this far off-script. This 1966 Porsche 911 Restomod is built around a turbocharged 1.3L 13B two-rotor rotary engine with a street port, Precision turbocharger, electronic fuel injection, and a five-speed manual transmission, creating a radically different character from the flat-six configuration most enthusiasts expect to find behind the rear axle. Finished in Speed Yellow over a black and yellow plaid interior, this impressive build also incorporates a widebody conversion, BBS multi-piece wheels, an AiM digital display, racing harnesses, and a fixed rear wing. Mileage is TMU, which is fitting for a car that has been transformed so extensively from its original configuration.
The 2016 Porsche Cayman represents the sweet spot of Porsche’s mid-engine sports-car formula: compact proportions, sharp balance, and a naturally aspirated flat-six mounted exactly where enthusiasts want it. Showing approximately 13,093 miles, this example pairs its 2.7L flat-six with a 7-speed PDK automatic and rear-wheel drive. Finished in GT Silver Metallic over Garnet Red, it also benefits from the Premium Package, 20-inch Carrera S wheels, 14-way power seats with memory, and an aftermarket exhaust system. The color combination alone gives this Cayman plenty of presence, while the low mileage and strong factory option list make it especially appealing as a driver-focused modern Porsche.
The 2023 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS occupies one of the sweetest spots in the modern 911 range, combining everyday usability with a noticeably more focused performance character. This example shows just 6,671 miles and pairs its 3.0L twin-turbocharged flat-six with an 8-speed PDK automatic transmission and rear-wheel drive. Finished in Guards Red over a Black leather interior with Chalk stitching, it also benefits from a particularly strong options list that includes the Front Axle Lift System, Porsche InnoDrive, Night Vision Assist, Adaptive Sport Seats Plus, an extended-range fuel tank, and a glass sunroof. Guards Red interior accents and the Premium Package add another layer of distinction to an already desirable GTS specification.
