Almost The Perfect Car According to Some Reviewers The Porsche Cayman is one of the best sports cars out there, but the new 718 Cayman has a new heart and a fresh look. How much difference can an engine make? Well… Quite a lot....
Porsche 718 Cayman 982 (4th Gen)
Ever-stringent government fuel economy and CO2 emissions standards forced Porsche to downsize and turbocharge its entire range of engines. This meant that the marketing department leaned on the flat-four heritage of the 550 Spyder and 718 race cars, dubbing the internally-designated 982 Boxster and Cayman models as the 718. The MA2-based flat-fours of the base and S versions of the Cayman had more varied specifications than any of their predecessors. The 2.0-liter MA2/20 of the base model had a turbocharger with a conventional internal wastegate for boost control, while the 2.5-liter, 350-hp MA2/22 of the Cayman S had a variable turbine geometry turbocharger in addition to a conventional internal wastegate to reduce exhaust backpressure.

Story by Greg James. Photos by Dan O’Connell. I love reading road tests. Especially those that involve shootouts when cars are pitted against each other.

The most significant change is the 4.0 litre six-cylinder boxer engine.

New for 2022 is the most exciting Cayman ever, the 718 Cayman GT4 RS. The GT4 RS is equipped with the same scintillating flat-six engine that powers the 911 GT3.
