6 questions

The quickest Porsche Cayman on record is the 2016 Porsche Cayman GT4 Coupe, which runs 0–60 mph in 4.0 seconds and clears the quarter-mile in 12.30 seconds at 115.9 mph.

The slowest recorded Porsche Cayman is the 2014 Porsche Cayman Coupe, which takes 5.7 seconds to reach 60 mph and runs 14.20 seconds in the quarter.

Averaged across all 33 verified runs, a Porsche Cayman reaches 60 mph in 4.69 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 13.14 seconds at roughly 107.9 mph.

We have verified test data for 9 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, Motor Week and Road & Track. 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 Cayman can do, not a single marketing claim.
