About the Porsche 718 Cayman 982
The 718 Cayman arrived in 2016 with turbocharged flat-four engines replacing the earlier model’s naturally aspirated sixes. The base two-litre manual retains rear-wheel drive and a mid-engined layout, with useful torque from low revs. Revised steering and suspension keep the compact coupé focused on balance and precision. These specifications describe the standard 300 hp car rather than the distinct S, GTS or GT4 versions.
