Sustained excellence in the form of exquisite handling and a more enhanced selection of customization and features continues to have the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman on the wish list of true sports car enthusiasts around the globe. No matter the powertrain or trim, the essence of a prototypical Porsche driving experience is ingrained in each model.
Why the Porsche 718 Cayman?
The term daily driver takes on an entirely different dynamic when behind the wheel of the 718 Cayman. The entire line of 718s are mid-engine powered and come standard with a good dose of bliss for their indulgent owners. Explicitly responsive steering and precise handling helped earn the 718 Cayman a spot on Car and Driver’s 2024 10Best List. The overall value of the 718 is nearly unequivocal in its class.
Entry-Level Excitement
Our base 718 model employs a turbocharged 2.0-liter, flat-four-cylinder power plant that delivers 300 hp and goes 0-60 in a snappy 4.7 seconds. Topping out at more than 170 mph, this flamboyantly sporty car has all the zip most drivers desire. With the addition of Porsche’s Style Edition Package, you can customize your 718 by adding black leather upholstery with chalk-colored stitching, a heated steering wheel, side contrast stripes, and black accented wheels and tailpipes among other features.
A standard rear-engine drive with an exhilarating 6-speed manual transmission adds to the lure, with Porsche’s slick 7-speed automatic Doppelkupplung (PDK) transmission available as an upgrade option.
Getting in the Wind
The celebrated Porsche 718 Boxster provides a masterclass example of a top-down sports car experience. With the Boxster S model, you can enhance the performance with a 350 hp version of the flat-four cylinder engine that stops the clock at 4.2 seconds in the 0-60 challenge. Choose the Style Edition Package and your Boxster can roll with 20-inch wheels, illuminated door sill plates, embossed Porsche logos on the headrests, along with snazzy door and hood graphics.
Top-Shelf Performance
For those craving a memorable Porsche driving adventure every time they take the wheel, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS won’t disappoint. The venerable Porsche GT boss Andreas Preuninger promised a next-level 718 surprise, and he delivered it by taking the vast 4.0-liter, flat-six-cylinder engine from the 911 GT3 and stuffing it in the GT4 RS. Ripping the 0-60 in 3.8 seconds, the GT4 takes charge with extraordinary grip and finesse in the process.
Preuninger sought the ultimate balance between road and track, and the GT4 RS delivers. Porsche’s PDK auto-transmission is exclusive on the GT4 RS and is faster than its manual counterpart—particularly on the launch. This 7-speed, dual-clutch auto shifter comes with steering-wheel-mounted shift paddles for an authentic racetrack driving experience. Stability and handling on the most winding surfaces are nearly flawless.
Simply put, the 2024 718 Cayman is a fine example of Porsche’s trusted quality and performance excellence. Schedule your test drive today at Lincolnwood Porsche Center located in Lincolnwood, IL in the northern Chicago suburbs.
