From thrilling to wild

5 reasons to buy the 2022 Porsche 718 Cayman
1. Track-focused trim
The new GT4 RS trim sits at the top of the Cayman lineup, offering a 493-hp flat-six engine, significant weight reduction, and an aerodynamic design. It's the ideal choice if you’re after a Cayman that’s as good on track as it is on the open road. Unlike other Cayman trims, this isn’t about comfort balanced with performance, it’s just one step from a race car with functional air intakes that replace the rear quarter windows, alongside a carbon-fiber hood and front fenders.
2. Pure driving joy
No matter which Cayman you choose, the focus is on performance driving. That doesn’t just mean power; it's about the entire experience. Whether equipped with the PDK automatic transmission for quicker responses or the standard manual transmission for a more engaging drive, the Cayman offers something for everyone when it comes to a spirited drive. Look out for the lowered ride height and variable-damping suspension on higher trims for even more precision through the corners.
3. Refined interior with luxury touches
The Cayman's cabin is thoughtfully designed for comfort and functionality. Available features such as heated seats and Apple CarPlay® connectivity ensure a comfortable and connected drive, while optional features like a navigation system, keyless entry, and premium sound systems enhance the experience. This is a cabin you’ll love to spend time in whether it’s cruising along to your favorite playlist or zooming along a mountain road.
4. Range of trims to suit your style
With various trim levels, the 2022 Cayman offers something for everyone. No matter which model you choose, there's plenty of fun to be had. If you’re looking for a balance of performance and comfort, look out for stand-alone options such as the full leather upholstery, navigation system, 14- or 18-way power-adjustable seats, and advanced cruise control. If it’s pure performance you’re after, the GT4 or track-ready GT4 RS are good choices.
5. Decent cargo space
The 2022 Cayman surprises with its practical cargo space, thanks to its mid-engine design. It features a 5.3-cu-ft front trunk and an additional 4.4-cu-ft rear storage area, offering ample space for essentials like shopping bags and gym gear. This makes it as practical as it is thrilling.
