2018 Porsche Cayman
Timothy Delaney Vehicle story
Experience the purest form of Porsche driving with this 2018 718 Cayman, finished in sleek German engineering perfection.
Beneath its sculpted rear deck lies a turbocharged 2.0-liter flat-4 producing 300 horsepower, paired with a crisp 6-speed manual gearbox for total control. The mid-engine layout delivers razor-sharp handling, near-perfect balance, and the kind of steering feel that’s become legendary among Porsche enthusiasts.
Slip inside the driver-focused cockpit and you’re greeted with supportive sport seats, intuitive controls, and Porsche’s signature attention to detail. The Cayman’s compact dimensions and low seating position make every drive—whether through winding canyon roads or along the coast—an event to remember.
