2024 Porsche 718 Cayman

Overview

Porsche sets the industry standard with its sports cars, and drivers of the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman will enjoy a sleek and modern vehicle that retains just enough of that old-school Porsche flavor. In the digital world, it may feel like modern cars drive themselves, but drivers who enjoy getting behind the wheel won’t find that their 718 Cayman does all the work. Drivers may opt for the classic manual transmission or upgrade to the seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for a choice between the most visceral experience or the fastest possible track time.

Who’s It For?

The Porsche 718 Cayman is luxurious enough for use as a daily driver, but anyone who yearns for a super-fast vehicle capable of reaching outrageous speeds on the track will appreciate the power the 718 Cayman brings to the table. The vehicle is a mid-engine two-seater, which means it won’t replace the family minivan, but it will still perform beautifully on any road and more comfortably, too, with its plush seats and race car feel.

What’s New for 2024?

For 2024, Porsche has taken its GT4 model out of its Cayman lineup and replaced it with a GT4 RS, which offers more power and additional features. The 2024 lineup also includes a new Style Edition model, a modest upgrade in features and style from the base model trim. 

Real World Performance

Drivers who upgrade to the Sport Chrono Package will see their potential 0 to 60-time drop from the standard 4.9 seconds to 4.5 seconds, and taking this vehicle to the track offers the chance of reaching a top track speed of 170 miles per hour with summer tires equipped. For drivers who love being in full control of their vehicle, the manual transmission is a fun and visceral option, but the automatic is there for drivers, too.

No matter which trim a driver chooses, the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman delivers power, speed, luxury, and comfort. The vehicle is versatile enough to provide a comfortable driving experience but powerful enough to deliver that exciting rumbling sound always expected of a Porsche. The 718 Cayman is the ideal option for those who want to drive a sports car every day, whether to work or to the track, but feel comfortable and luxurious along every mile. The 718 Cayman is nothing if not versatile.
