What’s New for 2024

For 2024, there have been some slight adjustments to the model range for the Porsche 718 Cayman. First, the track-inspired 718 Cayman GT4 has been eliminated, leaving the 718 Cayman GT4 RS as the range-topping high-performance variant in the lineup. In addition, last year’s 718 Cayman T has been discontinued and replaced with an all-new 718 Cayman Style Edition model. Style Edition trims stand out with their unique design cues found both inside and outside.

What the Critics Say

“The Porsche 718 Cayman is a joy on a twisty road, carving through corners with verve and powering on to the next one with good force, all while putting a smile on the driver’s face. The kinetic thrills truly are exhilarating, stirring, and satisfying.” — Kelley Blue Book

“The Porsche 718 Cayman is one of the best cars to drive, period. With its mid-engine RWD layout and the added rigidity of the hardtop body, few cars — if any — can match its balance, athleticism, poise, and engagement. The impressively quick steering only enhances the 718 Cayman’s razor-sharp reflexes.” — Autotrader
