2024 Porsche 718 Cayman Coupe Trims Comparison

Trim level differences

The 2024 Porsche 718 Cayman is a two-seat sports car in a coupe body style. It comes in five variations: the base 718 Cayman, 718 Cayman Style Edition, 718 Cayman S, 718 Cayman GTS 4.0 and 718 Cayman GT4 RS.

A turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (300 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque) is standard in the base and Style Edition models. The Cayman S uses a larger turbocharged 2.5-liter four-cylinder tuned to produce 350 horsepower and 309 lb-ft. A six-speed manual transmission powers the rear wheels, and a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic (Porsche's PDK) is optional.

Upgrade to the GTS 4.0 for a 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine (394 hp, 309 lb-ft of torque or 317 lb-ft with the PDK). The GT4 RS also has this engine, but it's massaged to make 493 horsepower and 331 lb-ft and has the PDK as standard equipment.

Porsche allows you to customize any 718 Cayman through a lengthy menu of personalization options. In addition, performance features found on the more expensive models are sometimes available on the more affordable variants. Other notable extras include:

  • LED headlights
  • Keyless entry and ignition
  • Full leather upholstery
  • 14-way or 18-way power-adjustable sport seats
  • Ventilated seats
  • Navigation system

  • Adaptive cruise control (maintains a driver-set distance between the Cayman and the car in front)

Which 718 Cayman trim does Edmunds recommend?

If you're spending this kind of money on a sports car, then you should get the 718 Cayman Style Edition. Nah. Just kidding! Skip all of the four-cylinder versions of this car and go straight to the Cayman GTS 4.0, which is the most affordable model that has the seductive 4.0-liter six-cylinder engine. It's not cheap, but it represents money well spent.
