The current model features a 2-liter turbocharged engine producing 300 hp and 380 Nm of torque, paired with a lightning-fast PDK dual-clutch transmission. The cars mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive configuration provide exceptional handling and balance, making it a delight to drive. The interior is sporty yet comfortable, with supportive seats and a premium feel, though some might find the cabin not as special as the exterior design.

Whether youre cruising on the highway or carving through corners, the Porsche Cayman offers an unparalleled driving experience that is quintessentially Porsche.

Our take on this /// Verdict

The Porsche Cayman, whether in its earlier Cayman S or the newer 718 Cayman iterations, is a driving enthusiasts dream come true. What impresses me most is its exceptional handling and balance, making it a joy to drive on both straight roads and winding corners. The mid-engine layout and rear-wheel drive configuration give it a unique driving dynamics that is hard to match. The 718 Cayman, with its turbocharged 2-liter engine, delivers impressive performance, though it may lack the aural charm of the older flat-six engine. However, the quick shifts from the PDK gearbox and the immediate throttle response make up for this, providing an exhilarating driving experience. The GT4 RS variant takes this to the extreme, with explosive performance and razor-sharp handling, but its more suited for track use due to its firm suspension and low ground clearance. Overall, the Porsche Cayman is a car that balances excitement and sensibility, making it a compelling choice for those who value driving purity.

Price

In India, the Porsche 718 Cayman is priced competitively within the luxury sports car segment. The ex-showroom price for the 718 Cayman starts at around Rs 85.95 lakh. However, once you factor in the various taxes and registration costs, the on-road price can easily exceed Rs 1 crore, depending on the state and city you are in. For the more hardcore GT4 RS variant, the price is significantly higher, reflecting its track-focused nature and advanced features like carbon ceramic brakes and a front-axle lift system. While the cost is substantial, the Porsche Cayman offers a unique blend of performance, handling, and luxury that justifies the investment for serious car enthusiasts.

Latest Updates

Wednesday, 10 July 2024 04:57 PM Porsche has confirmed that the production of the petrol-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster will end in mid-2025 to make way for their all-electric replacements. This decision comes despite the current models seeing an 8% increase in sales this year. I think this move is bold, especially given the current fluctuations in EV demand.

Tuesday, 09 July 2024 07:10 AM The end of the petrol-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster is attributed to Porsches commitment to electric vehicles, even as other manufacturers are more cautious due to falling EV demand. Porsches production manager, Albrecht Reimold, has assured that the new electric 718 will maintain the Porsche driving experience.

Monday, 08 July 2024 09:24 AM In Europe, the petrol-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster have already been largely phased out due to noncompliance with new EU cybersecurity rules, with only the hardcore Cayman GT4 RS and 718 Spyder RS remaining. In other markets like the UK, the full range is still available until mid-2025.

Monday, 08 July 2024 07:33 PM Porsches decision to end the petrol-powered 718 models draws parallels with a historical mistake when the company attempted to replace the 911 with front-engine grand coupes in the 1970s, which ultimately failed. This move has raised concerns among enthusiasts about whether history might repeat itself.

Monday, 08 July 2024 06:52 PM The all-electric replacement for the 718 is expected to be available in both hardtop and convertible variants, similar to the current petrol models. Albrecht Reimold has personally driven the new electric 718 and promises it will be a fun car to drive. I believe this could be a game-changer for Porsches electric lineup.

Monday, 08 July 2024 04:06 AM Despite the transition to electric, Porsche is still exploring the use of synthetic fuels for future petrol-powered sports cars, though these will likely be under the 911 badge rather than the 718. This shows Porsches ongoing commitment to both electric and sustainable petrol options.

Monday, 08 July 2024 04:12 AM The current petrol-powered 718 models have been popular, with sales growing 8% this year, making them one of the few Porsche models to see an increase in sales. This popularity has made the decision to end their production somewhat surprising to many enthusiasts.

Monday, 08 July 2024 06:00 AM Porsches global sales dropped by 7% from January to June this year, with the Taycan EV sales slumping by 51%. However, the 911 and 718 models were the exceptions, showing continued demand for petrol-powered sports cars. I think this highlights the challenges in transitioning to electric vehicles.

Monday, 08 July 2024 07:02 PM The production end of the petrol-powered 718 Cayman and Boxster marks a significant shift in Porsches strategy towards electrification, even as other luxury carmakers like BMW and Mercedes-EQ report mixed results in their EV sales.

Monday, 08 July 2024 02:48 PM European customers have already been affected by the early retirement of the petrol-powered 718 models due to cybersecurity regulations, while other markets will have until mid-2025 to purchase these models. This has created a sense of urgency among enthusiasts to buy the current models before they are gone.

Mileage

Wednesday, 20 November 2024 10:59 PM When it comes to mileage, the Porsche Cayman is not exactly frugal, but its not as thirsty as you might expect either. With a system-indicated best figure of around 10.1 kmpl and a lowest of 3.6 kmpl, the actual mileage will depend heavily on your driving style. If youre cruising at moderate speeds, you can expect decent fuel efficiency, but frequent redlining and spirited driving will naturally reduce this. For those concerned about running costs, its essential to consider the higher fuel bills, but for many, the driving experience the Cayman offers is well worth the extra expense.
