Our take on this /// Verdict

The Porsche Cayman S PDK (718) is a masterpiece of engineering that embodies the pure essence of driving pleasure. From the moment you start the engine, the unmistakable rasp and pulsating notes from the rear of the cabin set the tone for an exhilarating experience. The transition to a 2.5L turbo flat-4 engine, although controversial, has introduced a new level of power delivery with instant torque thanks to Porsches Variable Turbine Geometry (VTG) turbo. This car feels incredibly well-damped, calm, and nimble, especially on twisty roads like the Karak Highway and Genting Highlands. The chassis is communicative, and the sharp front steering coupled with relentless mechanical grip makes it a joy to drive. The interior is a haven for drivers, with a perfect cockpit, unrivaled seating position, and precisely weighted controls. Despite some initial skepticism about the new engine, I am thoroughly impressed with the Cayman Ss driving characteristics, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a pure driving experience.

Once you factor in taxes, registration, and other costs, the on-road price can easily exceed 1.7 crore. While this is certainly a hefty investment, the Cayman S offers a unique blend of performance, handling, and luxury that justifies the cost for serious car enthusiasts. The price includes the 2.5L turbo flat-4 engine, 7-speed PDK dual-clutch transmission, and a host of other features that make this car stand out in its class.
