How we verify Porsche 718 Cayman performance data

We include only independently published road-test results from automotive publications. Manufacturer-claimed 0–60 times are excluded unless clearly labeled. When multiple publications test the same Porsche 718 Cayman trim, each run is listed separately — weather, tires, surface, rollout, and instrumentation all affect results.

Porsche 718 Cayman performance FAQs

6 questions

The quickest Porsche 718 Cayman on record is the 2023 Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Manthey Racing Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 2.8 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 11.00 seconds at 127.0 mph.

The slowest recorded Porsche 718 Cayman is the 2020 Porsche 718 Cayman T Coupe, which takes 4.4 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 12.80 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 27 verified runs, a Porsche 718 Cayman reaches 60 mph in 3.70 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 12.03 seconds at roughly 117.5 mph.

We have verified test data for 6 model years. Each year shows every recorded run, the publication that measured it, and the trim-level details.

Every figure is sourced from published road tests by Car and Driver, Motor Trend and Motor Week. We don't use manufacturer claims — only independently timed runs — so the numbers reflect what the car actually does.

0–60 and quarter-mile results depend on driver technique, ambient temperature, tire condition, road surface, altitude, and testing instrumentation. A published figure is a single sample, not an absolute — which is why we show the range of verified runs rather than one number.

0–60 and quarter-mile times vary with driver, weather, tire temperature, and wear. We collect every verified run we can find — so you see the range of what a Porsche 718 Cayman can do, not a single marketing claim.
