The Porsche 718 Cayman is a mid-engine, hard top sports car with expertly tuned suspension to give drivers an amazing driving experience. The 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman give buyers the choice between a horizontally opposed four- or six-cylinder engine. The six-cylinder version is an absolute beast that encourages aggressive driving.
The 718 Boxster offers a similar driving experience, but without the roof. Essentially, they are one and the same under the hood. we review that model separately.
The Cayman launched in 2006as a coupé derived from Porsche's second and third generation Boxster roadster. Contrary to popular belief, the Cayman is not named after the Cayman Islands. Both the car and the islands are named after a type of alligator called a caiman.
When Porsche introduced the 718 Cayman GT4 to our market in 2020, it was called "one of the most impressive cars of 2020" by many motoring journalists. The GT4 was the headliner that the 718 range deserved. Its 4.0-litre motor with six horizontally placed cylinders, produces 309kW and 420Nm. Impressive indeed.
Porsche fans love the way the Cayman GT4 shoots from 0-100km/h in just 4.5 seconds. The car's top speed is 293km/h and the six-speed manual gearbox has a racy mechanical feel which lovers of fast cars enjoy thoroughly.
