Much like its 911 counterpart, the 718 Cayman T isn't the fastest or most luxurious among its siblings. Yet, it offers a unique blend of features that cater to purists, making it more than the sum of its parts. With a mid-mounted 2.0ltr flat-four turbocharged engine producing 296 bhp @ 6500 rpm and 280 ft lbs of torque, it's designed for those who seek driving purity. The inclusion of the Sport Chrono package as standard further enhances its appeal.
Introduced in 2020, the 718 Cayman T follows the footsteps of the successful 911 T, emphasizing a driver-centric ethos. Porsche's decision to extend this philosophy to the 718 lineup reflects their responsiveness to customer feedback and their commitment to offering a sports car experience for enthusiasts at all levels.
Equipped with the optional PDK transmission), the 718 T achieves 0-60 mph in 4.5 seconds (PDK), with a top speed of 171 mph. Stripped of unnecessary weight, it's the lightest variant, weighing in at 1,350 kg. The chassis is lowered by 20mm, riding on lightweight 20” high-gloss titanium grey wheels, while Porsche Torque Vectoring and a mechanical locking rear axle differential enhance handling.
Inside, the minimalist approach continues with door pull straps replacing handles, a leather-wrapped GT sports steering wheel, and two-way adjustable sport seats. Standard features include agate grey mirror shells, a shorter-throw gearbox, and the Sport Chrono package. Visually distinct with retro-style graphics and exclusive paint options like Lava Orange and Miami Blue, the 718 T stands out from the crowd.
