2019 Porsche 718 Cayman vs 2019 Porsche 718 Cayman S

Performance

Although the base 718 Cayman may be less expensive, it never fails to excite. Under its hood rests a 2.0-liter, turbocharged flat-four engine. It cranks out an enjoyable 300 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. You’ll be able to hit 60 mph in a blistering 4.9 seconds. Drivers seeking more performance should go for the 718 Cayman S. Porsche equips it with a larger 2.5-liter, turbocharged flat-four engine. Output increases to 350 horsepower and 309 pound-feet of torque. Expect the 718 Cayman S to hit 60 mph in around 4.4 seconds. Both models offer superb handling, which is aided by a standard Porsche Stability Management system. An upgraded performance suspension is optional on the Cayman S.

Appearance

There’s no overlooking the 718 Cayman’s classic styling. Its beautiful curves and powerful stance will cause everyone to take notice. Xenon headlamps come standard. Unique LED taillights help further separate the 718 Cayman from the competition. A center-exit exhaust tip adds to the car’s racy nature. Some of the available paint options include Racing Yellow, Guards Red, and Jet Black Metallic. The 718 Cayman S shares many of the 718 Cayman’s same styling cues. However, you’ll notice its larger 19-inch alloy wheels and dual exhaust pipes.

Features

On the inside, these models are virtually the same. They both come standard with Porsche’s new infotainment system, which features a high-resolution touch display with mobile support. Other standard equipment consists of an eight-speaker sound system, automatic climate control, and a backup camera. Some great options are also available, including a booming Burmester premium audio system and 14-way power seats.
