Fortunately, Porsche will cover just about any plastic surface in leather鈥攁t a cost, of course. The Cayman's infotainment system is straightforward and offers generally quick response times to user inputs. Still, Porsche nickels and dimes its customers by charging extra for features such as Apple CarPlay and navigation. Android users will be disappointed to learn that the Cayman isn't available with Android Auto. In a car this expensive, that's a big negative. A compact front trunk complements the Cayman's rear cargo area, providing the small sports car with cargo space that rivals the best of its competitive set. We fit two carry-on suitcases in the trunk and two more in the front-trunk. A steep rear-hatch angle, however, means owners will need to use soft duffel bags to make the most of the available space. The Cayman has yet to be rated by either the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration or the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, so its crash-worthiness is unknown. It is available with a handful of driver-assistance features and comes standard with a backup camera and front and rear parking sensors.





Junior coupe and roadster receive 420hp of six-cylinder power and manual gearbox. To the delight of driving enthusiasts, the new 718 Cayman GT4 still gets a naturally aspirated motor despite the rising use of turbocharging and electrification in other sports cars. But unlike the predecessor's 3.8-litre flat-six, the 718 Cayman GT4's 4.0-litre block is actually a bored-out version of the brand's latest 3.0-litre unit, currently used in turbo form in the 911 family. This new 4.0-litre motor produces 420hp, revs to 8,000rpm and features adaptive cylinder control to allow for a 9.2kpl average. Like before, only a six-speed manual gearbox is available despite Porsche being greatly known for its intoxicating PDK twin-clutch automatic. The 0-100kph of 4.4sec remains unchanged. The open-top 718 Boxster also receives this 420hp sixer but is known as 718 Spyder. To cope with the increased levels of performance, both 718s have 30mm lower suspension than the regular models, which only use turbocharged flat-four engines in various power guises. The aerodynamics have also been honed for more downforce at speed. While the 718 Cayman GT4 has that typical fixed rear spoiler, the 718 Spyder does with a pop-up variation located just behind those unique humps. If you mean the M2 Competition from BMW, the game is even. However, some driving purists may argue that the 718 Cayman GT4, like how Porsche has stressed in its press release, offers a truly unadulterated driving experience with its non-turbo engine, mid-engined layout and manual shiftstick. There's a good chance that the BMW may take the game to the next level with a potential CS version of the front-engined M2 Competition boasting slightly more power and less weight to boost performance even further. And it's here where Porsche might be keeping some cards up its sleeve. A PDK auto and Clubsport name for the 718 Cayman GT4 could instantly improve the acceleration time by a few tenths of a second.





The steady march of progress often comes with some compromises. In Porsche's case, the naturally aspirated 981-generation GT4 has given way to faster and more capable turbocharged 718-generation mid-engine monsters. With a flatter torque curve and an earlier power delivery, the 718 Cayman GTS puts up a faster lap-time at nearly any track than the GT4 of just a couple years ago, even on less sticky tires. The chassis has been improved for maximum grip, a new turbocharged four-cylinder has been mounted where that glorious 3.8-liter flat-six once sat, and the electronics have all been exploited to make the driver near God-like. In many ways, yes. One only needs to watch this great video from Matt Farah on The Smoking Tire channel on YouTube to get a good comparison between the two Porsches. While Matt seems content to trade audible engagement for speed and torque, I am not quite as sold on the new car. The first few minutes of the video are at the wheel of a friend's GT4, and that sound is second to none. It may well be one of the best sounding cars Porsche has ever built. It's high on induction noise and that exhaust note is just mind-bendingly lovely. Both the 718 and the 981 are incredible in their own ways, but I'll take the keys to the one with the wing every time. The rumor mill is churning with reports that a new GT4 is coming, and it'll be powered by a detuned version of the current GT3's 4-liter naturally aspirated flat six. I count that as a victory for potential GT4 buyers, because the improved 718 chassis will pair quite well with the big six. As long as it's still available with a manual transmission, it will take the new mantle. For now, maybe lease a 718 for a while and wait for the new GT4 to launch.
