Product Overview

Porsche 718 Cayman 982 is a compact sports car in production from 2016. It is available with a range of flat-4 and flat-6 engines that displaced 2.0 to 4.0 liters.
A large part of the reason that owners purchase the Porsche 718 Cayman (982) is the mid-mounted boxer engine, which has very low center of gravity, instant power response, and perfect smoothness.
Unfortunately, the 982 uses MacPherson strut front suspensions just like its 911 bigger brother.

The Cayman GT4 costs around £75,000. You can then add the carbon-ceramic brakes for £5597, carbonfibre bucket seats for £3788 and the Clubsport Pack – which includes a roll cage, a 2.5kg fire extinguisher and a six-point harness – for £2778. Even at more than £85,000 the GT4 seems fine value for money.

The Cayman GT4 is a near pitch-perfect introduction to the world of the Porsche GT. Despite offering over 100bhp per litre, it is reasonably quiet, flexible and civilised. The engine is superb, a searing, soaring powerhouse that seems as surprised as you to hit its 8000rpm limiter. Grip levels on standard Michelin Pilot Cup 2 tyres are almost gratuitous.

Reviewers from autocar have found the following***:
The steering is so well judged and so brilliantly keyed into the front axle that you guide the car instinctively from the first mile onwards. Turn-in bite is very strong, and once the nose has tucked in to a corner, the chassis feels beautifully balanced. In town and on longer runs, the ride quality is pretty civilised, despite the 20mm drop in ride height. The adaptive dampers will help in that regard, making the Cayman T a perfectly bearable everyday machine.

The Porsche 718 Cayman is the entry point to the world of new Porsche ownership. Prices start at around £45,000, but it's one of the best handling and most accessible sports cars you can buy. The standard Cayman features a 2.0-litre turbocharged flat-four making 296bhp, and it comes with either a 6-speed manual or optional 7-speed PDK twin-clutch auto.

The Porsche 718 Cayman T follows in the 911's footsteps, presented here in its purest form for ‘maximum driving pleasure’ The 718 T models (there's also a Boxster variant for those who prefer roofless thrills) offer that purer driving experience by removing things like the standard car's infotainment system and lardy metal door pulls.

Reviewers from autoexpress have found the following***:
The new Cayman GT4 has a 4.0-litre atmospheric flat-six engine that produces 414bhp and revs to an ear-piercing 8,000rpm. Maximum torque of 420Nm is actually the same as before but is developed over a much broader rev range between 5,000-6,800rpm. This is a proper Porsche GT-car engine in both feel and delivery, and it combines with the frankly brilliant six-speed gearbox to make for a quite giddy driving experience.

Pros

At £64,480, before options, the GTS sits at the upper end of the range, ahead of the £53,140 Cayman S. The 4.0-litre flat-six is essentially the same motor you'll find in the wonderful Cayman GT4. It will rev to 7,800rpm, develops 396bhp, 420Nm of torque and sends all of its power to the rear axle via a six-speed manual gearbox.

The Porsche 718 Cayman sits in the shadow of the firm's iconic 911. It's every bit as fantastic to drive and has a similarly impressive interior. Even the entry-level 2.0-litre Cayman has 300hp and can get you from 0-62mph in just 5.1 seconds. Enthusiasts will miss the characterful howl of the old model's six-cylinder engine.

, Sport Plus and Individual drive modes that come with it. The T has plenty of torque, sure, but the rev-matching throttle blips on a downshift can become addictive. Losing the flat-six howl of old robs the Cayman of some character. Even with the T's sports exhaust, it just doesn't sound good.

The 2021 Cayman GT4 starts at $102,550, including $1,350 for destination. The standard six-speed manual transmission heightens that engagement.

The Cayman T gets some standard chassis goodies that previously weren't available on the entry-level 718. It turns on a dime and the electromechanical steering system provides oodles of feedback. The T is relatively fuel-efficient, returning an EPA-estimated 20 miles per gallon in the city.
