The 2018 Porsche Cayman is one of the most appealing sports cars on the market. Its mid-engined layout provides balanced handling and a more engaging driving experience. Being a Porsche, there is a long list of performance-oriented upgrades. As an added perk, the Cayman offers luxuries such as heated and ventilated front seats and available premium audio systems from Bose® and Burmester®. If you want a capable sports coupe, the Cayman offers a variety of options for you to find exactly what you want.
If your first priority is finding a car that maximizes driving enjoyment, the Cayman should be at the top of your shopping list. Its mid-engine layout provides balanced handling, responsive steering, and a level of engagement that will leave you with a smile on your face. Porsche’s racing pedigree ensures the chassis has been impeccably tuned, and both the manual and optional PDK® automatic transmission provide a high level of engagement.
The Cayman is available with a long list of optional features to keep you comfortable. Some available convenience features include adaptive headlights, headlight washers, power-folding mirrors, keyless entry and ignition, and dual-zone climate control. If you want ever more luxury, look out for the heated and ventilated front seats, a 12-speaker Burmester audio system, in-dash navigation, and several upgrades for leather upholstery. The Cayman will always provide you with a sports coupe experience, but with the right options, it can be a luxury ride too.
Although Porsche's famous six-cylinder engines are no longer available, the Cayman provides more than enough power from its 2.0L four-cylinder engines. The standard turbocharged engine provides 300 horsepower and 280 lb-ft of torque in the base Cayman. Stepping up to the Cayman S, the 2.5L engine produces 350 horsepower and 309 lb-ft of torque. Paired with either the six-speed manual or seven-speed PDK automatic, you will have plenty of power on hand with these burly engines.
In many sports cars, opting for the automatic transmission is a recipe for a less engaging driving experience. You will not feel like you are missing out on the manual transmission if you choose a Cayman with Porsche’s fantastic PDK transmission. This dual-clutch transmission shifts lighting fast and provides you with shift paddles for manual control. When equipped with the Sports Chrono Package, the PDK also provides Launch Control to optimize acceleration.
The 2018 Porsche Cayman provides classic sports car curves and a stunning appearance that you’d expect from a sports coupe. Porsche’s designs are always inspired by its racing pedigree, and you can easily see the family resemblance on the 2018 Cayman. Inside and out, the Cayman is designed to be striking, efficient, and timeless. As an added perk, the Cayman can be tailored to be a track toy or a luxurious sports coupe based on your needs.
