Porsche 718 Cayman Performance Overview
Porsche’s 718 Cayman, built across 2017 to 2023 in the 982 generation, traces a compact performance arc through 27 verified tests. Throughout that span it remained a gasoline-only coupe, with output ranging from 300 to 493 hp and a mix of turbocharged and naturally aspirated flat-four and flat-six configurations, including the MA2.22 family. Early 982 results set the baseline with the 2017 S Coupe reaching 60 mph in 3.6 seconds, while the slower end of the tested range came from the 2020 T Coupe at 4.4 seconds.
Mid-cycle development shifted the car’s pace upward as larger-displacement naturally aspirated models arrived. The 2021 GT4 Coupe cut the benchmark to 3.3 seconds to 60 mph, and broader testing across GTS, S, base Coupe, and T trims established a generation-wide average of 3.7 seconds to 60 mph and 12.03 seconds in the quarter-mile at 117.5 mph.
By the final years covered here, the 982 reached its quickest form. The 2022 GT4 RS Coupe dropped to 2.8 seconds for 0-60, and the 2023 GT4 RS Manthey Racing Coupe matched that figure while delivering the standout quarter-mile result at 11.0 seconds at 127 mph. That leaves the 718 Cayman at the end of its production run as a focused gasoline performance coupe with its fastest tested variants operating in sub-3.0-second territory.
