A true sports car experience
The 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman continues its third generation, introduced in 2017, and stands as a testament to Porsche's sports car heritage. This hardtop coupe, the sibling of the 718 Boxster, might be an entry-level offering in Porsche's lineup, but it's far from basic. This year, the Cayman remains largely unchanged but adds standard Apple CarPlay® in the GT4 and GT4 RS models, alongside two new paint colors.

5 reasons to buy the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman
1. Outstanding handling
The 2023 Cayman, true to its Porsche DNA, excels in handling. Every model, from the base to the GT4, is engineered for precision and agility. The GT4 models raise the bar with features like adaptive dampers and a lowered ride height, enhancing cornering and stability, for a driving experience that's both exhilarating and responsive.
2. Engine options for every driver
The base Cayman starts with a 2.0L flat-four offering 300 horsepower, great for spirited driving. If you want more power, the Cayman S's 2.5L turbo engine provides 350 horsepower. For the ultimate performance, the GT4 models boast a 4.0L flat-six engine, ensuring every drive is thrilling and memorable. If you love the roar of an engine, look for the 4.0L flat-six as it has a distinctive exhaust note you won't be able to get enough of.
3. Refined and elegant interior
The 2023 Cayman's interior showcases Porsche's commitment to driver-focused design. With multi-way adjustable seats, partial leather upholstery, and an intuitive seven-inch touchscreen, the cabin is both luxurious and functional. The GT4 models further enhance this luxury with their unique interior styling, including sports seats.
4. Impressive cargo capacity for a sports car
Despite its sports car status, the 2023 Cayman offers surprising cargo space, thanks to its mid-engine design. With a 5.3-cu-ft front trunk and a 4.4-cu-ft rear space, it provides ample room for personal items and luggage, making it more practical than one might expect from a sports coupe.
5. Sporty features and enhancements
The Cayman is not just about handling; it also offers a range of features to boost performance. The Sport Chrono package, standard on GT4 models, includes a dashboard stopwatch for timing laps, launch control in automatic models, and a Sport button that sharpens performance, encapsulating the true essence of a sports car. If you're looking for a car you can take on track, the 2023 718 Cayman could be the one.
