Trim level differences

The 2020 718 Cayman is offered in four trim levels: the base 718 Cayman, the new 718 Cayman T, the 718 Cayman S and the new 718 Cayman GT4. The base, Cayman T and Cayman S are available with a six-speed manual transmission or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (Porsche's PDK). The GT4 is PDK-equipped only.

  • 19-inch alloy wheels
  • Sport exhaust with dual stainless steel tailpipes

718 Cayman GT4
The ultimate Cayman features:

  • Naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine (414 hp, 309 lb-ft)
  • 20-inch wheels with ultra-high-performance summer tires
  • Sport exhaust with dual high-gloss black stainless steel tailpipes
  • Variable-damping sport suspension lowered 30 mm
  • Mechanical limited-slip differential and torque vectoring
  • More powerful brakes
  • Fixed rear wing
  • Larger cooling intakes
  • Lower rear fascia with diffuser
  • 2-way adjustable Sport Seats Plus with faux suede inserts

Some of the performance upgrades found on the Cayman T and GT4 are available on the regular Cayman and Cayman S as options. Other notable extras include:

  • Full leather upholstery
  • 14-way or 18-way sport seats
  • Heated and ventilated seats
  • LED headlights
  • Driver assist features (such as traffic-adaptive cruise control)
  • Bose or Burmester premium sound system
  • Apple CarPlay

Which 718 Cayman trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you can afford it, get the GT4. It's by far the most compelling 718 Cayman yet. But for everybody else, the 718 Cayman S strikes the best balance of value and overall performance. It brings an extra 50 horsepower to the table that's lacking in both the base model and Cayman T.
