Exploring the Sporty Elegance of the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman

Heart-Pumping Performance

Whether you go with the base 718 Cayman’s 300-hp 2.0L turbo flat-4 or the 718 Cayman S 350-hp 2.5L turbo flat-4, you’ll enjoy exceptional response and acceleration. An ultra-smooth 6-speed manual transmission is standard, and both motors enable a 0 to 60 time of under five seconds. The optional 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch automatic is one of the quickest transmissions that you can find in a sports car.

Producing 394 hp and up to 317 lb-ft of torque, the GTS 4.0’s naturally aspirated 4.0L flat-6 helps achieve a top speed of 182 mph and propels the car from 0 to 60 in just 4.3 seconds.


Unrivaled Handling

Thanks to its mid-engine, rear-wheel drive layout, the 718 Cayman has an ideal weight distribution, leading to perfectly balanced handling and minimal oversteer/understeer. Along with a fully independent 4-wheel suspension, every model is equipped with the Porsche Stability Management (PSM) system, greatly enhancing traction while traveling over uneven surfaces.

Direct and telepathic steering is a result of the 718 Cayman’s electromechanical power steering system and available Porsche Torque Vectoring (PTV). PTV continuously varies torque to the rear wheels and makes minute braking adjustments, making it easier to turn the car at any speed.


Driver-Oriented Interior

The 718 Cayman’s elegant cockpit offers exceptional ergonomics, premium amenities, and a slew of customization options. The well-contoured sport steering wheel features skeletonized spokes and lightweight construction for a racier driving experience. Comforts like power-adjustable heated seats and dual-zone automatic climate control are standard, plus buyers can add ambient LED lighting and electric ventilation for the seats.

In addition to offering several color schemes for the leather upholstery, including Graphite Blue and Black/Bordeaux Red, the interior lets you choose from a variety of colored seat belts. From mahogany to carbon fiber, the interior trim selection is just as diverse.


Advanced Technology

An intuitive touchscreen infotainment system provides Apple CarPlay compatibility, USB connectivity, and support for SiriusXM satellite radio. The available Porsche Connect navigation system comes with updateable maps and a 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot for internet access while on the go. Other options include a Burmester high-end surround sound system and a smartphone compartment that optimizes reception and battery efficiency.

The 718 Cayman combination of style, power, and affordability has made it one of the most compelling high-performance cars on the market. Head over to Porsche Chantilly in Chantilly, VA today and experience it for yourself!
