From Your Porsche Dealer: A Guide to the 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman
Engine and Transmission
From its standard 300-hp 2.0L flat-4 to the GTS 4.0 model’s 394-hp 4.0L flat-6, the 718 Cayman’s selection of engines is sure to entertain drivers. Enthusiasts can rejoice knowing that every model comes standard with an ultra-smooth 6-speed manual transmission that boasts precise and short throws. The lightning-quick 7-speed Porsche Doppelkupplung (PDK) dual-clutch automatic is available, as well.
The 718 Cayman is impressively quick, no matter which powertrain you choose. In its standard form, the coupe is capable of reaching 170 mph and achieves a 0 to 60 time of 4.9 seconds. With a top speed of 182 mph and a 0 to 60 time of just 4.3 seconds, the GTS 4.0 is even quicker!
Chassis
As you can expect from a Porsche, the 718 Cayman is an adept performer when it comes to tackling tight corners. That’s thanks to its highly refined strut suspension, telepathic steering, and powerful brakes. It gets even better when you add the available Porsche Active Suspension Management (PASM) system, which makes constant adjustments to the damping force applied to each wheel for enhanced responsiveness and stability.
GTS 4.0 models have a lowered ride height and harder springs, resulting in sharper turn-ins. They also feature larger front and rear brake discs at 350 mm and 330 mm, respectively.
Interior
The 718 Cayman’s driver-oriented cockpit includes sport seats with deep bolstering and vehicle controls that are always within easy reach. Standard comforts include dual-zone automatic climate control with air filtration and heated seats. The Premium Package adds a heated multi-function steering wheel, a storage net in the passenger footwell, and the Entry and Drive feature, allowing you to unlock and drive the car with the key in your pocket.
Customizability options are plentiful. For example, trim for the dashboard and seats are available with deviated stitching and various colors, such as Bordeaux Red and Graphite Blue.
Infotainment
In addition to support for SiriusXM satellite radio and smartphone integration with Apple CarPlay, the 718 Cayman’s infotainment system offers a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and connected navigation with real-time traffic updates. The standard 8-speaker sound system can be switched out for a premium surround sound system by Bose or Burmester.
An exciting powertrain and divine handling make the 718 Cayman a true joy to drive. Visit Porsche Beachwood today and discover it for yourself!
