The 2020-Present Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 (982.2) is a track-focused sports coupe celebrated for its naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six engine and exceptional chassis dynamics. Journalists and reviewers consistently praise its sublime handling, precise steering, and engaging manual transmission, often hailing it as one of the best driver's cars available. It's famous for delivering a raw, unadulterated driving experience reminiscent of earlier Porsche models, distinguishing it from more technologically reliant competitors. Ideal for enthusiasts seeking a pure, visceral connection to the road and occasional track days, it's less about daily commuting comfort and more about thrilling performance.
Owning a Porsche Cayman GT4 involves higher operating expenses than a standard car. Expect increased costs for premium fuel, specialized tires, and performance-oriented brakes. Maintenance, while not necessarily unusual, will be more expensive than average due to parts and specialized labor. Reliability is generally strong for Porsche, but track use can accelerate wear on consumables. Insurance can be high due to the car's value, performance, and the likelihood of being driven enthusiastically, though it might not be disproportionately higher than other high-performance sports cars.
