With the debut of the new 718 Cayman, Porsche is completing the family of mid-engine sports cars. Under the shared 718 model name, Roadster and Coupé are moving closer together both technically and optically. Now, for the first time, the 718 Cayman and the 718 Boxster have engines with equal output. The four-cylinder flat engine with turbocharging in the 718 Cayman produces 220 kW (300 hp) from two litres of displacement, 18 kW (25 hp) more than in the predecessor model. The 718 Cayman S achieves 257 kW (350 hp) with 2.5 litres of displacement, similarly resulting in a power gain of 18 kW (25 hp). Another piece of good news for fans of the sport coupé: the hard-top two-seater is now priced lower than the roadsters for the first time – similar to the 911 models.
